We are always on the look-out for interesting places to eat…And we’ve driven by this spot for years. So at lunchtime today I said it was time to check it out… www.yakzies.com/pompano.html And I must admit…this sign on their building made me want to try it… The food was good (when it finally arrived)…but […]
Cypress Nook Restaurant – Pompano Beach, Florida
Today we headed back to a really yummy breakfast spot: Cypress Nook. It is run by an incredibly friendly German lady who always takes time to wander among her diners and chat. It’s a Mom and Pop sort of place…and it’s a great spot to sit outside on a beautiful Winter morning. Their menu […]
The Over Easy Diner – Wilton Manors, Florida
Nothing fancy…just GOOD. That’s all I have to say about this place… It’s worth a trip…and the cook and the staff will make you feel like family.
Nelson’s Diner – Pompano Beach, Florida
Thanks to my GPS (I’ve named “her” Stella!) we found another spot for a good breakfast. And let’s just say owner/chef “Nelson” appears to LOVE Elvis and the Golden Oldies in general. Menu That’s Owner/Chef Nelson…In the Apron…”Working the Crowd”… We felt right at home after we discovered a Hawkeye pennant on […]
The Busy Corner Restaurant – Goodfield, Illinois
OK…Just TRY to pack lightly for a nearly five month trip…I DARE you! But keep in mind, LOTS of this “mess” will be left in Indiana, before we head South to our Florida home. (Really. It will!!) No room for a “Backseat Driver” on THIS trip! So…after leaving our “Iowa Life” behind…we were grateful […]
Hurricane Grill & Wings – Cedar Rapids, Iowa
After my grandson’s first Christmas concert, we took our Iowa family out for dinner. And we picked a brand new spot to try. In fact, it was the ONE WEEK Anniversary of the restaurant’s opening! Even though it was a cold and rainy night in Iowa, we felt like we had walked into one of […]
RIDE – Iowa City, Iowa
What should you expect when you visit a new restaurant in Iowa City called RIDE? How about WHEELS… Everywhere! We were greeted by Roc, the owner, who seated us, and then gave me a tour of the restaurant. I was impressed with the unique decor and innovative menu. (I do hope they […]
30hop – Coralville, Iowa
Recently, I was surprised by an unexpected phone call from a long-lost friend. Debbie asked me if I had lunch plans, and I was glad to drop everything for a chance to “catch up” with my pal. She suggested a spot in Coralville that has only been open for three months called 30hop. The […]
Clinton Street Social Club – Iowa City, Iowa
Recently…it was “Girls Night Out” for my friends Cindy, Carissa and me. I had the honor of choosing our “hangout” for the evening. So I picked one of my favorite spots: The Clinton Street Social Club in downtown Iowa City. Check it out! http://www.clintonstreetsocial.com/ From the moment we opened the street-level door and […]
Salt Fork Kitchen – Solon, Iowa
Since the sun was shining today, we decided on a little “road trip” to check out a restaurant we’ve heard good things about: The Salt Fork Kitchen in Solon. We LOVE small towns in Iowa, and Solon’s Main Street has a Christmas Card feel… And because the town is so small, there was no need […]
