Dining Review – Sitti in Raleigh, NC

If you find yourself in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina you can be sure there will be no shortage of restaurant choices when you get hungry. There are a lot of them, representing every type of cuisine. We had to make that difficult choice last week and opted to try something a bit different, Sitti. This

Review of Best Tour’s Boston Cupcake & Desserts Tour

Recently we ventured into Boston to participate in a cupcake and dessert tour of the Newbury Street area. There was a Living Social special available, and the cost of $80 for four people seemed very reasonable. We were scheduled to visit five different dessert shops. Finding the tour is easy, as it meets at the

Dining Review – Chardonnay’s in Seekonk, MA

We were looking for a restaurant somewhere between Providence, RI and New Bedford, MA recently to meet family. After a brief internet search it appeared that Chardonnay’s would be a good choice, at least based on the online reviews we read. The menu looked pretty amazing, and the wine list was also impressive. They have

A Great Jazz Weekend in Old Lyme, CT

We were looking for something to do that was 1: new for us, 2: lots of fun and 3: relaxing at the same time. That’s not a very easy list of things to satisfy at the same time. It would also help if it was not too far from home and didn’t cost an arm

Dining Review -Emeril’s at Universal Orlando

Here is another restaurant review from our recent holiday trip to Orlando (read more about that here). We have considered going to Emeril’s for a long time, but somehow never seemed to quite get there. On this trip Cheri and I found ourselves alone for the first day and a half, so it seemed a

Dining Review – The Palm Restaurant Orlando

When we are staying at the Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando one of the added benefits is having a Palm Restaurant right on site. This is one of those upscale chains that you can count on for a good meal, an excellent service experience and an excellent wine list. We always go when we have

Wine, Food and General Musings from our Holiday Trip to Universal Studios and Disney World

Question: How do you know you did at least some things right when your children were growing up?

Answer: They still ask as adults to go to Disney World with you on vacation.

Entrance to Universal Studios

This is a very good thing, and to reinforce it we flew down to Orlando again

Dining Review: Bravo Brasserie in Providence, RI

Bravo sees us come through their doors fairly regularly. A large part of that is due to the restaurant being directly across the street from the Trinity Repertory Company’s theater, where we are season subscribers. It’s sort of a tradition that we get to Providence a bit early and stop in at Bravo for a

Dining Review – Aquitaine in Dedham, MA

As you probably guessed from the name, Aquitaine is a French bistro, located in the Legacy Place shopping center off of Route 1A in Dedham, MA. We tend to like French bistros, and are happy to report that this is no exception. When you walk in a large bar extends on the left toward the

Dining Review – Gracie’s in Providence, RI

We have enjoyed going to Gracie’s periodically for many years. It has always delivered a quality dining experience, with excellent food and a good ambiance. They also allow you to bring your own wine, albeit with a $25 corkage fee. We had a couple of nice French reds in our wine bag this past weekend
