Highland Park diner is one of those places that apparently everyone loves, and for good reason. It’s in a slightly sketchy neighborhood in Rochester, NY and that’s actually one of it’s charms. The parking lot is tiny, as is the building itself.
There’s so many people coming here that they have tables outside with umbrellas. Except for the outdoor seating, it reminds me of the best of the old time New York City diners I’ve eaten in.
Located on the oh-so-trendy Westcott street, is one of the coolest restaurants in Syracuse, Alto Cinco. The location itself makes this Southwest-dining palace pretty awesome. It lies at the heart of Syracuse’s booming hipster hipstersom, with a grungy movie theatre and concert hall to its right, and the perfectly–shady-its-charming pizza joint to its left. Along[…]
On South Main Street in North Syracuse sits a little bit of downtown Philadelphia, PA. Or at least, that’s what the folks at Gino’s Original Cheese Steaks would like us to believe. And here’s something that ticks me off: I’ve read a few comments online about how Gino’s (with an “i”) is a rip-off, and[…]
I wanted to take my wife somewhere nice for dinner, as it was her birthday. Traveling was not a problem so I began to look a little farther afield than downtown Syracuse. Doing some searches, I found a number of positive recommendations for a place in Rochester. The place is called Next Door. What shocked[…]

Over the weekend, some friends took my wife an I out to Camillus to visit one of their favorite eateries. They’ve been telling us about Boom Boom Mex Mex for several years now, but this is the first time we’ve made it out there. I forgot to take a pic, so I snagged this one[…]
Marketfair North Plaza in Clay is the home of the new Yogurt City. I’m not the best person in the world to review this place, but since I drive past it fairly frequently, I got called on. Although this is a franchise location, it hasn’t got a lot of competition outside of Destiny. Not right[…]
My girlfriend and I took some time to drive out Rt 31 along the lake. I remembered there was a Mexican place somewhere out that way in Cicero, past the high school. Guess what – there was! We pulled in to the Lakeshore Heights Plaza and found a parking space in front of La Taqueria.[…]
The American Diner is across the railroad tracks on Old Liverpool Rd in Liverpool. It's definitely on the right side of the tracks, and that's the whole point. The food is not the point here. It's fuel for the body, prepared sufficiently and presented plainly. The prices are completely average – not high enough to[…]
"Nothing good is ever cheap, and nothing cheap is ever good." This is the slogan – or warning – emblazoned on the front of the menu at Coop's Kitchen. There are a number of other breakfast joints that may be cheaper, but it's not like they're charging double what other places do. Is it worth[…]
3 Rivers Plaza in Phoenix is an anomaly. They have a first class Thai restaurant here at the south end of the plaza, one that's surprisingly good. They also have a decent Chinese takeout joint. But if you get up early – like crack-of-dawn early – and visit the north end of the plaza, you'll[…]
