Red Lulu’s Food Review: SoNo

While writing up my review for the opening event at Red Lulu Cucina & Tequila Bar, I already made mention that I would have to go back for a full meal so that I could give my loyal readers a true review of Red Lulu’s food.  At the spur of the moment, I ended up [...]

Red Lulu Cucina & Tequila Bar Review in Norwalk, CT

Red Lulu Opening Event

Red Lulu Cucina & Tequila Bar had their VIP opening on September 2, 2010.  So perhaps this is not a review of Red Lulu’s, but rather of their VIP opening event.  Red Lulu is owned by Jody Pennette, who also owns Lolita’s in Greenwich, CT (or perhaps that area is more considered Port Chester, NY).  [...]

Kit’s Thai Kitchen Review- Stamford, CT

Kit

If you have driven past the shopping center that Kit’s Thai Kitchen is located in, then you would know where it is… it painted outside in extremely bright colors. When we pulled up, we wondered if we should not give the falafel place across the street a try instead… but I am glad we …

Five Guys Review – Best Burgers in Norwalk

Five Guys Burger

My husband has heard the buzz about Five Guys burgers most of his life, since he grew up in Washington D.C (the birth place of Five Guys).  However, the first time either of us went to a 5 Guys was today when we were driving through Norwalk, CT.  Upon entering the burger joint, the cashier [...]

Brasil International Cafe Review- Brazilian BBQ in Portchester, NY

Brasil International Cafe

Having a Brazilian husband, you better believe that we try every Brazilian restaurant that we find!  And it is hard to argue with that since nobody knows how to make meat like the Brazilians!  Greenwich, CT does not have much in terms of Brazilian food, but drive a few minutes to Port Chester, and it [...]

Mary Ann’s Mexican Restaurant Review: Portchester, NY

Mary Ann

My go to Mexican restaurant in Greenwich is Boxcar Cantina, but I was shocked and very sad to find them closed on this particular Saturday evening.  Perhaps the family goes out of town and shuts it down for a week or so during the summer?  But my craving for Mexican food would not go away, [...]

La Panetiere French Restaurant Review: Rye, NY

La Panetiere Prix Fixe Lunch Menu

After reading several reviews of La Panetiere, my husband surprised me for my birthday and took me to La Panetiere for a birthday lunch.  La Panetiere is a French Restaurant in Rye, NY that has a $25 Prix Fixe Menu for lunch on weekdays.  Upon entering, we noticed that it was mainly an older crowd… [...]

Daniella’s Gelateria Review- Gelato on Greenwich Ave

Daniellas Gelateria Review

Daniella’s Gelateria has had its Grand Opening sign up for a little while now, so I got around to stopping by today. Gelato on Greenwich Avenue seems like a great idea, but I am afraid there are a few fatal flaws. They decided to go for a more upscale and classy decor complete …

Greco’s Bella Cucina & Pizza Express – Greenwich CT’s Italian Gem

Bella Cucina Fresh Bread & Olive Oil

Greco’s Bella Cucina is one of the best kept secrets in Greenwich, CT.  In fact, my friend who introduced me to Bella Cucina begged me not to write a post about this delicious Italian restaurant so that it would not become too difficult to get in… but I would never do that to my loyal [...]

Athens Pizza in Stamford, CT

Greek Salad at Athens Pizza

One of my passions is food… and who can resist the fabulous Greek / Italian restaurant in Stamford, CT (1975 West Main Street) called Athens Pizza.  They have been around since 1977 and make the most delicious chicken souvlaki, moussaka, stuffed peppers, meatball subs, pizzas and greek salads.  On my last visit, I brought my [...]
