The cover of Tom & Joe’s Diner menu says it all. “Tom & Joes’s Diner…Where People Meet and Eat. Generations Serving Generations.” I’ve told you many times that the people we meet on our travels are the most important part of our road trips. It’s the “locals” who set the tone for the “feel” of […]
Our Washington D.C. Location – The Perfect Choice!
Location, Location, LOCATION! Never has that old adage been truer than it was for us during our short stay in our nation’s capital. If you follow me on my Meemaw Eats Facebook page, you have had a tiny glimpse of our amazing trip last month. (And if you don’t follow me there…you should!) So now […]
Canal Side Inn – Little Falls, New York
The Canal Side Inn is “within spitting distance” from our beautiful room at The Inn At Stone Mill. In fact, when we stepped outside the door of our building we could see it right across the street. Earlier on that Tuesday we had discovered several reasons for checking out that restaurant in Little Falls. Our […]
Cafe At Stone Mill – Little Falls New York
Sometimes a little Cafe is exactly the right spot to go for lunch, and the Cafe At Stone Mill was just an elevator ride down from our room at The Inn At Stone Mill. The cozy combination cafe/gift shop is located on the first floor of the historic Stone Mill building, built in 1839. (It […]
Lisciandro’s Breakfast & Lunch – Jamestown, New York
Lisciandro’s. A Jamestown landmark since 1954. That’s MY kind of eatery! Heck, I was only four years old when that iconic restaurant first opened it’s doors! What a time capsule. Our motherly server greeted us with a wave and a smile, and she told us to sit wherever we liked. We chose the front table […]

Dinner In A Vineyard – A Wine Lover’s Magical Meal at Remy Wines
Some meals are simply magical…from beginning to end. And most of my magical meals have been meals I’ve shared with my family for more than six decades. But last summer we experienced an evening of incredible wines paired with dinner under the stars in a vineyard that I’ll remember forever. And we shared that meal […]
Breakfast At The Waffle Barn – Ashland, Oregon
We were up with the sun and hungry for breakfast after our overnight stay in Ashland. But you would hardly know the sun existed, judging from this photo I snapped. That blurry object in the sky IS the sun, but the smoke from the nearby forest fires kept it hidden. And there are mountains in […]
