What's a good way to follow a night of delicious dining? A lazy morning strolling the city streets, followed by a tasty brunch in the early afternoon! Unfortunately, it was a cold Sunday morning and, as we knew, there weren't many shops open, so the stroll was more of a brisk walk. Arriving at Jones Wood Foundry slightly before our one o'clock reservation was definitely the prize at the end of our journey.
We were seated in a corner booth in the back of the restaurant. These seats gave us a great view of the room and its decor.
The Quarter, New York, NY
by TT March 22nd, 2013 | Restaurant Reviews, Restaurants
Recently my husband and I had the opportunity to travel to Manhattan for a mix of work and fun, which included some time there during the weekend. With more free time than a typical business trip, we were able to enjoy several dining experiences in the city. Our first was on a Saturday night. Traveling from our Midtown lodging, we cabbed down to the West Village for dinner at The Quarter.
We arrived promptly for our eight o'clock reservation and were seated immediately. The restaurant had a cozy, intimate feel with its wood and wine decor. We were introduced

Dessert at Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse
by TT July 2nd, 2012 | Restaurant Reviews
Typically when I review a restaurant, I like to sample several dishes. As regular readers can recall, quite often I write about the lengthy meals that cover everything from the amuse bouche to dessert. This review is quite different in that we only ate one course at this restaurant. Not only was it just one course, my husband and I ordered the same dessert, which almost never happens. However, this was one of the best desserts I have eaten at a restaurant.

Boqueria Flatiron, New York, NY

Summer has returned, and with it, so has my increase in business travel. With a little bit of coordination, my husband and I usually are able to schedule our business travels so that they align for the same dates in the same city. Last week was our first week of such travels, which we started with meetings in New York City. There are many wonderful things about traveling to NYC, but one of my favorite features is the wide array of restaurants available- all open late into the night.

Corner Stable, Cockeysville, MD
by TT May 21st, 2012 | Restaurant Reviews
As I started writing this review, I realized that some of our restaurant choices during our mid-Atlantic trip seem inconsiderate toward our vegetarian. The reason I thought this is that the Corner Stable is a barbecue restaurant. However, in my experience, many barbecue places have a decent fish dish on the menu, and our daughter enjoys fish. For the rest of us, slowly cooked, smoky meats were our lure.
Like any area, there are debates over which restaurant has the best Italian, best barbecue, etc. Corner Stable is one of two in the Baltimore area known for its barbecue. Decorated
