If you are in New York City make sure you make a trip to the Lower East Side and visit Russ & Daughters. It is a family-owned shop of high-end smoked fish, caviar & New York-style specialty foods since 1914. So much fun stuff in there but the show stealer is the lox. They have around 6 […]

TriBeCa is a super cool neighborhood in Manhattan and Marc Forgione is a fantastic way to spend an evening. This is a killer farm to table joint in a very cool atmosphere. This is upscale eating in a low key yet cool environment. It was a warm summer night and the entire front door/wall of […]

I was in Connecticut passing through Westport and stopped in Bar Taco. Tasty Mexican joint along the Saugatuck River. Now this is not a hole in the wall joint, although I love those. This more upscale but still fun and casual. And the food is excellent. Fun place and they have outdoor seating along the […]

Up near the Connecticut/Rhode Island border is the cute seaside town of Stonington, Ct. Ridiculously beautiful and quaint. And right in the heart of it is the Milagro Cafe. Outstanding Mexican food and fantastic margaritas. As is typically my tradition, I ate at the bar. Cozy little spot with great food and drinks. A winner in […]
Stonington
If you are ever up near the quaint little towns of Stonington or Mystic Connecticut in the summer, make sure you swing by Abbott’s Lobster in the Rough. It’s a Counter-serve seafood restaurant known for its lobster rolls & water views. I got mine with only hot butter and I think that’s the way to go. […]

In the hip Lower East Side in Manhattan Blue Ribbon Sushi is on the second floor of the Sixty LES Hotel. There are a few of them around town and one in Vegas as well. I always stay in this hotel and I always eat here at least once. They are open until 2am (gotta […]

The Standard Grill is a fun place. It’s in the Meatpacking District right under The Highline, next to the new Whitney Museum and in the hip Standard Highline Hotel. Lot’s going on over there and this joint is hopping. It’s an American Bistro and you can sit inside or they have sidewalk tables. I had […]

I was doing what I love to do when I travel to big cities, walk. And just east of downtown Salt Lake I stumbled across Even Stevens Sandwiches. Love this place! This joint has a cool little vibe and excellent food. It’s short order and casual. I had the Do Gouda. Roast beef, smoked gouda, sweet […]

Who would have thought I would have an amazing soft shell crab experience in the land locked mountain town of Park City, Utah. But I did and it was incredible, fresh crab sitting on a bed of jambalaya with andouille sausage and it was at Zoom. This is Robert Redford’s joint that is in a restored train […]
Park City
Up in The Neighborhoods area of Salt Lake is Sea Salt. It’s an Italian joint with a killer patio and the pizzas are delicious. They are cooked in a wood fired oven. I had the Margherita. Nice relaxing place.
