    We tried the 1501 burger, which was decent, although a bit dry. The tomato onion jam was overly sweet, but the horseradish slaw was a great addition. The real star, though, was the side of onion rings - they were absolutely amazing!

    My friend and I went to Manhattan Deli tonight and we had a great time. Our waiter Alex couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful. We had the multiple soup which was fabulous. Plenty of noodles and carrots just a Dream soup. Additionally we had a pastrami sandwich that was filled with wonderful and a decent portion of pastrami. We highly recommend this restaurant and can’t wait for our next visit.

    I have loved Kings highway for breakfast but our dinner experience was poor. The popcorn chicken was processed and frozen then served lukewarm. It might have been good for toddlers. I don’t recommend that dish!

    We always enjoy our evening at the Purple Room. The staff is very responsive and the food is excellent - as are the drinks. There is an extensive cocktail menu, but they will still make you a drink not on the menu. The pear salad is very tasty. I also enjoy the chicken Roulade with pasta. Sharon Sills was this night's performer and her show was excellent, even though her voice was suffering a little from a cold.
