Etta's Channel Side Restaurant

Etta's Channel Side Restaurant

This restaurant was recommended to us.  We went with Jim and Jimmie Simon.  They say that sometimes you can see the ponies across the channel - but not tonight.

This is another restaurant that is too dark to read the menu or see what you are actually eating - they must have something against lights, as they did not have the front lights on as we left, so we used our cell phone flashlights.  They noticed and about the time we got to the bottom and they turned them on.

Rehoboth, DE : The Ice Cream Store

It is hard to imagine 100+ flavors, but they do have them.

One of their flavors is a hot pepper ice cream.  For drama, they insist that you sign a waiver before being given a sample.  As you can see, Amy was not impressed with the flavor or the heat, I was not either,

We found this online as we changed our travel plans.  They have a great happy hour, and a good standard menu!  It is hard to believe that this place has the same door to door travel time as Home to Montauk. Rehoboth Beach, DE

Happy Hour at McLoone's Hoboken

McLoone's

Happy Hour Menu

A nice dry martini

The big meatball appetizer, with arugula salad

Irish nachos: sliced potato, topped with chili, cheese, onion, and all sorts of other nacho toppings

Veggie flatbread with spinach goat cheese and artichokes, and a wonderful balsamic drizzle

This is the second time I've been to this McLoone's, and we're again amazed at how empty the restaurant is. The food is wonderful, the bartenders are wonderful.

We were talking with the bartender tonight, and he showed as their house made pepper infused tequila, pineapple infused rum, limoncello, brandied peaches, and other various aquavit used for specialty cocktails.

We left about 6, but at 7 there was a free beer tasting. Yes I said the beer was going to be free!

Happy Hour at Fleming's

Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar    https://www.flemingssteakhouse.com

Another fine fall outdoor happy hour. Fleming's must be our favorite restaurant. Looking back in the soon to be defunct Evernote Food app,  I've recorded six vistors here. I know there have to be more.

Tonight's tuna tacos had too much shell and over cooked tuna.  The empanadas were okay. The pepper jelly on the calamari was good. The burger was good as always - just seemed skimpy as did the lettuce wedge: not like it used to be.

Reunion at Bridie's

Bridie's Bar and Grill  http://www.bridiesbarandgrill.com/

Amy had the second annual (?) Reunion of her elementary school (PS49) at Bridie's in Queens. The group had arranged for a price fix meal with salad and penne ala vodka served family style, a choice of 4 entrees (did anyone have the chicken?), and cheesecake.

Not thrilled with being served ice in my cider or an Irish bar selling cottage pie as Shepherds pie. The skirt steak and the penne were the best.
