Early last winter, I was on a road trip to Winchester, Virginia. I decided to explore its main street, North Loudoun St, which has been made into a scenic pedestrian thoroughfare. Among the many restaurants and shops, one place stood out from the rest. An old fashioned ice cream parlor called Red Fox Creamery.
When researching sub shops in central, Pennsylvania, one in Newberry kept popping up. I decided I had to stop there and give it a try. Family owned and operated for over 50 years, Mileto's Sub Shop exceeds its reputation.
I was in Annapolis for the St. Patrick's Day Parade. Most of the bars were packed, but I found one that could seat me. Normally it is a pretty popular place, but I had beaten the dinner rush. That was fortunate, as the Iron Rooster has great food and superb service.
April 8, 2024 was the first time in almost a century since Buffalo, New York experienced a total eclipse. And the next totality in Buffalo will not happen until 2144. For such as special event, the whole city celebrated. Including the food industry.
I was in central Virginia doing some sightseeing. Afterwards, I was looking for a place to have dinner. Following a friends suggestion, I detoured to Charlottesville and explored their main street. The place that caught my eye was Marco & Luca Dumplings and it is fantastic!
Mobile, the Port City! It is Alabama's oldest city. First settled by the French in 1702, Mobile has passed through English, Spanish, and now American hands. It is full of history and southern hospitality. And many great places to dine.
On a road trip in Virginia while looking for a place to eat breakfast, I passed a road side sign advertising sandwiches and donuts. I turned around as soon as I could and found the place, the store front of Doshier's Donuts. Much to my delight, everything there is made fresh. Even the donuts, which are fried to order!
During Washington DC's restaurant week I like to try new restaurants. In the U Street Corridor, a Peruvian restaurant that I was not familiar with was participating. After taking a peek at their menu online, I decided to go there. Having one of the best meals I've ever had, I immediately fell in love with El Secreto de Rosita.
I am always on the lookout for good Italian delis, as they have some of the best food. In the Little Italy section of Niagara Falls, NY, I found a great one: Scipione's Italian Deli and Catering.
In Williamsville, New York a longtime neighborhood bar, Loughrans, had recently closed. In its place is the restaurant Grezi on Main. Having been a patron of the previous establishment, I tried the new place out. Grezi provides a fine dining experience. The food quality is excellent, but the place is very different than the one it replaced.
