Great Tacos from a Great Taco Truck : Pico Taqueria
Pico Taqueria - 6382 Maddox Blvd. Chincoteague, VA 23336
We had the Menu special with 2 Chincoteague Classic (Lettuce, pico de gallo, cotja, creme fraiche with your choice of chicken, pork, beef or fish) [we chose fish and chicken] then we added The Maddox
(Local cornmeal fried oyster, pickled carrots, daikon, tartar sauce, fresh thai basil) and The Main Street (Seared and seasoned shrimp, chipotle creme fraiche, green cabbage slaw, guacamole, queso fresco) -- We had 4 totally different taste experiences, and all of them were wonderful. The flavor profiles of each taco were specifically designed and balanced for each protein.
They have picnic tables in the back and an area to play some simple lawn games.

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.
Hush Puppies and Rolls |
Fried Green Beans - A new favorite |
Cream of Crab Soup |
House Green Salad |
Stuffed Flownder |
Seared Scallops Salad |

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