Guapo’s – The Eleanor

October 6th, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Eleanor

Mexican. I like the Guap (as it seems to be known to those in the know, or at least my sister, and since I like being in the know, I will call it the Guap). But the funnier thing about the meal is the confirmation that Stewart had a slightly hard time telling me and [...]

Guapo’s – The Alex

October 6th, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Alex

Down in DC this weekend visiting Rob and Alison (sister in law) and really more importantly, our six month old nephew Stewart (on the right here obviously). Yesterday was Rob’s 31st, so after we arrived, they bolted to have a nice grownup meal, and in a very Freaky Friday vibe, we became the parents with [...]

Artisanal – The Eleanor

October 6th, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Eleanor

Bistro. This one was a while ago, so its a bit fuzzy. I will totally second Alex’s love for the Stilton – Sauternes fondue, I am not a huge blue fan, a little goes a long way – but this is amazing, a real revelation. I got Moules Frites, which I tend to do whenever [...]

Artisanal – The Alex

October 6th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Restaurants, The Alex

Hot on the heels of my Babbo review will come a flashback quick review on Artisanal (sorry, with the wedding, the honeymoon, getting back to work, and never having written a blog before, I’m a bit slow on this – I promise I’ll get better and you’ll get some more really live and current reviews [...]

Babbo – The Eleanor

October 3rd, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Eleanor

Italian. I wasn’t feeling the best going into dinner, which ended up being a great thing since I didn’t stuff myself silly. I really liked the chickpea amuse – very simple, probably very easy to cook at home – if only I had the time. I started with the special salad, which was very [...]

Babbo – The Alex

October 3rd, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Alex

As I promised – more restaurant reviews!!! Last night we went to Babbo (Mario Batali’s used to be flagship (now he’s got Del Posto which is more upscale) restaurant), which many people might consider the best Italian food in new york, Myself among them – with caveats. It’s definitely not a traditional “italian” restaurant – [...]

Mini-Moon Day 6 – The Alex

September 22nd, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Alex

Boy I hate mornings, but regardless up we were at 7:30 to take a walk down to the ocean for a morning swim. I was rather annoyed an unnerved by the unnecessary and unasked for *2nd* wake-up call from the hotel two minutes after the first. A little surprising given how well everything else was [...]

Mini-Moon Day 5 – The Eleanor

September 21st, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Eleanor

Don’t worry. This will be shorter. You might have been able to tell from yesterday that we really liked the Cove. A lot. So we re-booked our flight, and stayed an extra day. Booked online, cause it was $200 cheaper, had to check in again, but stayed in the same room. Totally worth it. Totally. [...]

Mini-Moon Day 5 – The Alex

September 21st, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Alex

Slept in a bit this morning, that was nice. Eleanor got up early to go exploring along the beach. I eventually rose, and went to lay out by the pool at Cain and read in the sun until Eleanor was done exploring.
She got back and we headed off to Mosaic (the upscale buffet at The [...]

Mini-Moon Day 4 – The Eleanor

September 20th, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Eleanor

So we decided earlier that we would switch to Atlantis for our last day so we could check it out and try the waterpark and see the aquarium without paying extra. We called, and they said it was totally booked, which was odd, given we could book it online still. We had 2 (of 4) [...]

Mini-Moon Day 4 – The Alex

September 20th, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Alex

So this morning we checked out of Compass Point and said our fond farewells to head over to it’s antithesis – the mega-resort Atlantis. I’ll admit, as nice as the secluded and calm environs had been, I was ready for the change of pace to the tourist activity mecca that we’d visited the other day. [...]

Mini-Moon Day 3 – The Alex

September 19th, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Alex

Well, we woke up this morning and it was still raining, but not heavily, and thankfully it started to clear fairly early (while we started up this blogging, so now I’m actually writing live on Wednesday night, the rest of the entries have been written today as well – is that cheating?), so we immediately [...]

Mini-Moon Day 2 – The Eleanor

September 18th, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Eleanor

Rain rain go away come again another day. Such thunder! Such lighting! Seemingly a couple yards out over the water. Power going in and out, hut rattlingly. It seems unlikely there will be beach in our future, so we decide to head to the casino at Cable Beach. And once we got there, we promptly [...]

Mini-Moon Day 2 – The Alex

September 18th, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Alex

Boy, you’d think after how hard it was raining last night the sky would be empty. No such luck. It was actually raining harder this morning. This time with intense thunder and lightning. On the positive side I’m feeling about 90% recovered. But here we discovered the flip side of being in a small isolated [...]
