Fish Tacos in Montauk

A Real Montauk Seafood Adventure

58 S Erie Ave, Montauk, NY 11954

Jim and Olga are visiting Montauk.  They enjoyed the fish tacos here on a previous visit.  This time there was some problem with the order.

Notes

They placed the order, and were told 15 minutes... then 20 minutes later, they were told another 15 minutes.


Needless to say, the Galvin's were not amused.  But the tacos were great.

On the Border Paramus -2019

71 S, State Rte 17, Paramus, NJ 07652

Notes




Stew Leonard's Paramus Opening

Stew Leonard's closed their wine and liquor store in Paramus and they opened a full supermarket!

Notes

Set up like IKEA, the aisles wind through the store,  so you have to pass everything.

Another Second Choice - With a So-So result

Welcome to BOSTWICK'S CHOWDER HOUSE






Our intent was to visit the Hudson Blue Crab House in Bridgehampton.  The website looked great, the reviews looked great.  The problem was that they did NOT survive the summer and are permanently closed.
Notes

I cannot be sure the crab was in the building when the New England Clam Chowder was made.  A terrible thought for a place calling itself a "Chowder House"
Pretty good potato soup... HORRIBLE Clam Chowder
Great fried oysters



Lobster poutine + great.

Getting Ready for Our Trip to Japan

Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

Amy and I thought we'd go out and celebrate our anniversary and see what Japanese cuisine might have in store for our trip.
34 Cooper Sq, New York, NY 10003


Notes

After looking online for Japanese restaurants in the neighborhood where Amy works at NYU, we decided that this restaurant required us to have the least working knowledge of Japanese cuisine.  


Is the Village Voice still around?
Nice Interior in the back beyond the bar

The HH Menu and the tools of the trade

Nice sauce selection:  All are now Gluten-Free if that is important to you



Miso Soup - Miso - check.  Tofu - check.  
Tokyo Ied Tea... Vodka, Tequila, Gin, Rum, Melon Liqueur, Triple Sec, Sour Mix, Soda

Edamame
Gyu-Kaku House Salad - Greens, daikon radish, tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, egg, house sesame ginger dressing.
TIP:  Dip the mushrooms in one of the sauces to keep them soft and tender when grilled (this is also a good tip for your home BBQ adventures)



Yaki-Shabu Beef Miso - Beef Belly - Bistro Hanger Steak Miso

Garlic Shoyu Rib Eye - Chicken Breast Basil - Pork Belly Shio White Soy

Pork Belly on the grill
