The Other Napa

What’s worth doing in the Napa Valley: a travel guide to the wine country.

of many others who post here regularly. Help me right my wrong. What dishes will knock my socks off. Sprouts and Cremoso are on the list already.

We have a staff BBQ in two weeks, and I’m looking for a knock-your-socks off dessert recipe to bring. I need something that travels well and is good at room temperature. I am willing to bake, jell, or anything else! Ideas?...

If you are looking for a wonderfully "old Fashioned" Italian restaurant, I would advise a trip to 72nd St and 8th Ave to try the classic New Corner Restaurant in the Dyker Hts section of Brooklyn. It has been there since about...

I’ve never eaten there, but there is Jahn’s on Hillside in Richmond hill, which is more old fashioned than the Bayside location. Does Metro Soda Fountain in Kew Gardens count? My personal vote is for Eddie’s...

room at the top (or however much you want). Stir the mixture. Place the lid on. Wait five to seven minutes (boil your milk during this time). Use a coffee sock to strain the coffee. (you can get these at a hispanic store) Add hot...

Hurricane Kates, Restaurant 301 are the trendy places. Avalon is Ok, avoid the wine by the glass, its probably old. Personally I enjoy the food at Roys Italian Dinners. Its old fashioned, but tasty. The cheesesteak place in Arcata...

From my understanding this place has only been open for 8 months now. Found this off the beaten path off of Fruitville Rd and I-75 with a craving for some good old fashioned Sports Bar Food. Walked in with my significant other...

FYI Had a really good sushi assortment meal at Kappas in Pearland a few weeks ago. I’m new to sushi so I can’t explain in an educated fashion why I liked it so much, except to say that it was a wonderful experience. The...
