I shouldn’t have been posting at 2 a.m. because now I’m going to edit this to death. First I’m going to start with the original post of some of my favorite restaurants:

My Favorite Restaurants

  • Luigi’s (New Hyde Park, NY, 718-347-7136) Italian
    I just love this place; they make the best Italian food. We’ve been going there once a month for at least 8 years. My all time favorite is their Veal Margarita but I don’t think I’ve ever eaten anything there that I didn’t like.
  • Zutto Restaurant (Great Neck, NY, 516-504-8605) Japanese
    We have Bishop Cisneros to thank for finding this place. We used to have a different favorite Japanese restaurant that we had gone to since our dating days but they closed. Then Steve told us about this one.
  • Black Forest Brew Haus (Farmingdale, NY) German
    Good German food and they have their own mico-brewery on site.
  • Cozymel’s (Westbury, NY) Mexican
    Yeah, it’s a chain but it’s still good.
  • Hellenic Snackbar & Restaurant (East Marion, NY, 631-477-9577) Greek
    This place is a bit of a trip but it’s not far from the Long Island wineries and has great Greek food. I fell in love with Greek food back in high school when my friend, who was Greek, took us to a relative’s restaurant in the Village.

Now that I had to include Cozymel’s in my list, I’m thinking of chain restaurants in general. Some are ones I’d only go into if I had no other choice (Sizzlers & Red Lobster come to mind). Others I really like, for instance, I love Cracker Barrel.

So - chains: which ones do ya’ll like & which do you hate?
