Introducing Portland, Maine

For those who can’t stand the heat, for those who like charming coastal cities, for those who like the size of this little town, for those who love food, for those who love travel… may I introduce you to Portland, Maine. This city stands out as one of the best places to visit on the East Coast, blending the charisma of a classic seacoast town with the bustling energy of the state’s largest city. Clocking in with a population of just 68,313 residents, it seems hard to believe that Portland is Maine’s largest city.

You’ve Never Had a Better Bagel

I must confess, when I walked into PopUp Bagels, I wasn’t expecting anything remarkable. I’ve had bagels before, and while they’re alright, they’re not my preferred bread product. So, when I took a bite of a salt bagel with Dill Pickle cream cheese, I definitely wasn’t anticipating a life-changing experience.

But that’s exactly what it was; I’ve never had a better bagel.

Tropical Paradise Finds a Home in Cos Cob

The opportunity to review Island Fin Poke was born out of a chance meeting at everyone’s favorite bank, The First Bank of Greenwich. In on my weekly run to deposit checks and say hello, Frank Gaudio introduced me to the man who brought Island Fin Poke to Greenwich, Jamie Darnow, who invited me to come in for a taste.

I Didn’t Think It Could Get Better… And Then It Did

As an avid lover of East Asian culture and cuisine, I’d seen Omakase before on Youtube or in movies. While I was familiar with the overall concept of what Omakase was, I didn’t know the specifics. To me, Omakase was simply an elevated sushi experience. Which it is, but it is also so much more.

Tsuki: The Best Sushi in Greenwich Isn’t Where You Think

Tsuki combines high quality ingredients at the peak of freshness with explosive flavors, creating a restaurant that’s not only a meal but an experience. Earlier this month, I had the wonderful opportunity to try some of their most popular dishes. I walked into Tsuki pretty much knowing what to expect, or so I thought. If there’s one thing Greenwich maybe has too many of, it’s sushi places. We just cannot get enough sushi in this town for some reason, and everyone has their opinions. Well, Greenwich, here’s your new favorite sushi restaurant.

The Cottage Brings New Vibe to Greenwich Avenue

The Cottage has brought new life to Greenwich Avenue through its inventive and interesting food. So often when new restaurants come to Greenwich I feel a little twinge of dread. Is this going to be the same thing I can eat and five other restaurants on The Ave? My expectations were blown out of the water by Chef Brian Lewis.

La Crémaillère: Destination for Delicious

La Cremaillere is cozy, warm, and investing; it’s a destination without being out of the way; and the food is expertly prepared by a chef who has clearly found his passion. Winding down the back roads of Greenwich, past the Babcock Preserve and the polo fields, La Cremaillere is just 15 minutes from Downtown Greenwich, but it feels like a destination. Stepping through the doors you’re greeted by an upscale yet cozy atmosphere. It’s a unique change of pace– often “cozy” and “fancy” seem like contradictions, but they’ve married it well at La Cremaillere.

Run Don’t Walk to Orienta

After the beloved Chinese restaurant Penang closed years ago, many people (myself included) wondered about what kind of a restaurant would fill that space just off of Greenwich Avenue. Luckily for Greenwich, a great new restaurant has entered that space and is ready for you to make new memories in the chic, delicious, french-vietnamese fusion Orienta.
