Some places I visit to escape from the depressed locales of NJ and Long Island.

After eating half of my bagel sandwich I turned to the man, who introduced me to HBB, and said "If there is ever a reason to marry you, this is it". When was the last time a bagel made you want to get married on the spot? Huh? That's what I thought!

If you look up the word "waspy" in a dictionary, you will see a picture of Milleridge Inn next to it. It cannot get any more waspy than this. The mean age of dinner patrons is close to 55.

This review will not be of much use without a context. So, let's get to it, OK?

Every year I visit my sister in NJ for the Xmas holidays and every year she tries to drive some "Indian-ness" into me. She thinks the only thing Indian about me is the…More »

A must visit for our family during Christmas. The owners are super friendly and the food is heavenly. The best part is the wait staff sing Christmas carols at regular intervals during dinner. The chef comes out to talk to you and make sure you are…More »

Went here with a couple of friends and had a great experience. The food is excellent and the drinks were well prepared. Aside from appetizers, I ordered the duck and my friends ordered fish and chicken. Everything was fabulous. Our server was very…More »

The sushi is good for a buffet. I have eaten here a few times and enjoyed it. I try to avoid other portions of the buffet because of the line. The sushi station is not too crowded and they have plenty of varieties.

Nice place, overall.

Recently updated lists from Krsna V.

Simply the best! (15)

Just like the famous diva Tina Turner's song "simply the best, better than all the rest... better than anyone"

Capital-istic (20)

Fantastic capital city. My exploits in the wonderful capital city and suburbia.

Chicken soup for the soul (19)

Entertainment comes in many forms. You wanna be a cabaret star, get emotional at a play, join a cult... I even found myself on a roadtrip! In the end it is all about "chicken soup for the soul"!

Downtown living (10)

I am a Loop dweller. I have never been happy in any other Chicago neighborhood.

Playin' it safe (42)

The 3 and 4 star ratings. It's like you are almost the best.

Chicagoland aka suburbia (2)

Not all suburbs are dreadful. I would probably visit more if there is a flight service from ORD or MDW :-)

Mr. United Nations (19)

Back in the day, when I was wild child, I used to be known as Mr. United Nations. Not for the food, but for the number of flags on my bed post. Now that I have grown past my wild days, I am trying to keep the title by eating through various ethnic foods.

Brokeback Mountain (3)

Yes, I went there! I went to Wyoming to become a cowboy. Failed miserably at becoming a cowboy, but enjoyed my time otherwise.

Date night (24)

As much of an old couple we are (6+ years), we still do date nights often. Dress up, pick a proper place, the whole thing. One of the agreements we have in the V-P household is that we have to fly out for date night at least once a month. Hence, the various out of state places in the list.

Trips to San Diego (3)

I miss my bff.
