Sushi for me, Sushi for you, lets eat the Sushi in my big brown shoe

I've been in the mood for sushi for weeks, s'bout that time again

Excerpt from review of Mt. Fuji:

Mt. Fuji   Map data ©2008 Tele Atlas - Terms of Use Map Satellite Hybrid 1702A Middle Country Rd. Centereach, NY 11720 631-736-0759 "Even though it shares its front porch with a hopping nightclub, Mt. Fuji is a tranquil respite from the tumult of Middle Country Road in Centereach"

You heard it here first.. apparently Mulcahey's is "hoppin"

You are Missed

All this talk about asians has made me long for our dear Dan Ling. I hope wherever he is, he is eating dinner.

*Note

Long Duk Dong is NOT to be confused with the small asian boy a.k.a "Shorty" from Temple of Doom. In my opinion, so far the best Jones Film. Can't you just hear him now? "Okey Dokey Dr. Jones. Hold on to your potatoes!"

Big Long Dong

BLDs. Kim used to work there, so she approves of BLDs and everyone knows how tony couldn't stop talking about BLDs...i mean come on, does anyone not love a good BLD? I know i can never say no. Just thinking about BLDs now is making my mouth water...

So it's on hawkins. I'm sure the three people going tonight will know where it is. oooo...a threesome, how cozy.

This is Long Duk Dong from 16 candles. He was the closest thing to a true "dong" i feel i can post.

Cinco de Mayo

No time for a long post but TND will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo today on (insert spanish word for 6) de Mayo.

To celebrate we will be goin to our beloved karaoke place aptedly named Cinco de Mayo in Port Jeff. Good songs, but good food? Let's find out. See ya there!

Viva la Revolucion!

April Showers

Hooooooooooola,
I return from a missed TND due to my travels to the Dominican Republic. But fear not for I have returned with a pick. We have not done a Greek restaurant in a while soooooooo here it is.

The Mykonos Greek Cafe in Smithtown. The exact address is 45 Route 111 Smithtown, New York 11787. I believe it is in the shopping center on the east side of 111, that contains 4th World Comics, and Uncle Giuseppe's grocery store.

See ya there!

Correction

Yesterday Brennan's was closed, apparently they are only open Thursday -Sunday. Chach and i went to Jade Garden across the street.

I was sad Dave wasn't there to say "Jade" over and over.

food food food

Burgers anyone?

This week we shall dine at Brennan's over on 111/347 area. It is in the same plaza as Kotabuki.

See you there!

TND Classic

Tuesdays will never be the same
The Green Cactus 

if we visit all of their locations, does that mean we went to the green cacti?

1099 Rte. 25A (between Cedar St. & Hawkins)

Stony Brook, ny

HAPPY MEXICAN EVERYONE!

Arriba!

Another No-Show

I apologize, but I too need to bow out of this TND. I need to work late annnnd work on an accounting project.

I too like pictures...here's one of Lance Bass

My Apologies

I can't come to TND this week cause i have to work on a presentation for class. However, i eat at Joe's a lot and since dave didn't post a pic this week, i thought i would. This was taken the last time i ate there, Phil, of course, is on the left.

Keepin' it Simple

Well I have no idea how to post a picture on this blog, and so far I am very impressed with everyone else doing it.

Anyway it is my pick and I am going to make it simple. Joe's Pizza. We should all know where it is but if you don't its on Union Ave. in the Walbaum's shopping center. There is a "valuable coupon" on the website, but hopefully since we know the owners son we will score some free stuff. Time will tell.

See ya tomorrow!
-TND

I'm Back...

After a brief hiatus I will return to action this Thursday, and by action I mean eating and looking at Agunzo's boobies. Anyway, I digress...I know its restaurant week in Bayshore, but I don't think I could make it out there in time tomorrow. Furthermore, apparently a week is 9 days in Bay shore so next TND is the last day, someone else can pick a place there.

Now on to what you all came to read...we will be going to JT's Corner Cafe on Smithtown Blvd in Nesconset. It is near Giorgio's and across from Maria's by my house. Dave, Tony and I ate a wonderful breakfast there many moons ago. If the dinner is as good as the bfast and lunch, I think we'll like this place

http://www.jtscornercafe.com/index2.htm

P.S. I know you guys haven't seen me in awhile, so i had someone at work take a picture of me to share.

La Panchita

I feel like we've been to every restaurant in Suffolk County! After about an hour of searching and stressing, I found something that looks good... I hope...

T.J. Finley's
Molly Malone's

The Pie at Salvatore's
Tula Kitchen

What did Suchi A say to Sushi B?

Wasabi!

Get it?

Anyways, i wasn't sure what i was in the mood for and i asked dearest Jenny and she suggested sushi, which when i think about it, i'm always in the mood for. I'm picking Kotabuki, the back is on 111 and the front is like 347, so you figure it out. But it's in the AC moore shopping center, there is a shop rite and a panera and i actually think everyone knows where it is so perfect.


I believe the above picture can be classified as "spicy sushi" ohhhhhh!!!!!

I would also like to add that this will be the :siblings edition: We discussed this last week & my bro as well as chach's sibs are a go, so yay.

La Grova

No unfortunately it does not mean "the grover" in spanish, so our spaztastic furry friend Grover will not be serving us.  I believe he had a conference call to take care of (ff to 1:10).  Anyway  this place is at 2799 middle country road, lake grove.  I have never been there but i will have a 25 dollar coup.  Hopefully this time it will be more successful. Grova!  

Also i would like to add that the French Cuisine provided by Bobbique was exquisite 

Tropical Recall & This Week's Pick

Well it is about time the dinner of 2/21 is discussed. Dispite Jenny's post there was a TND. This TND is a historic first, for it was not located on Long Island, in NY State or on dry land. This TND took place on the Norwegian Spirit at one of their specialty restaurants. This one was at their steak restaurant named Cagney's. The dinner took place once we left Belize on our way to Cozumel, Mexico. Sang, Danielle, Lingo, Chach, Rich and myself enjoyed our meals of divine meat (and whatever veggie crap Agunzo had) along with a nice bottle of wine. There was a long wait for the check once Dan was done consuming his weight in meat but other than that it was an awesome TND.

As for tomorrow the pick will be a place called Bobbique. Here is the address 70 W. Main St Patchogue New York 11772. It is located on Montauk Hwy, near the BrickHouse. I have never had it before but let's give it a go! Here is the website: http://www.bobbique.com/

See you all there!

thai angel

yay i get to pick for real this week!

so my pick is thai angel, a great little thai restaurant in islandia. i've eaten at a lot of different thai places on li and nyc, and this is by far my favorite... it's actually one of my favorite restaurants overall. i was a little hesitant to pick this place because i think it's a little outside of our italian/greek/mexican comfort zone... but if i have to eat another garlic knot i think i'm gonna barf. this place is always getting great reviews in all of the "great places to eat on li" books, and its zagat rated as well. if you've never had thai food before, this place has a lot of different options, some which are similar to chinese food (just to give you an idea). All of the food is made to order, and it tastes so fresh, which i love. the prices are pretty normal... not cheap, but not expensive either.

see all of you tonight :O)

the week without tnd

So i was trying to figure out my dinner plans for this evening when it occurred to me that it's Thursday... TND! oh wait. you have all left me to fend for myself (if i starve its your faults!) so maybe you are all on the boat right now making dinner plans and calling it "TND" but it's not!! 

so anyway tonights TND will be taking place in my house... where i will probably make myself a sandwich. 

V-day all the Way

So, i assume this week will be a lovely romantic evening with me, sange & dave. I'm sure we will spend the entire time talking about cruise preperations & our hatred of jenny & chach.

I'm going to pick this place that i drive past all the time & have been borderline curious about. I figure, we shouldn't really pick anywhere nice since there will prob. be v-day crowds around. So, my pick will be the Chef's Table, its on portion road going east right after the mini golf place. I see signs that say free app & dessert with dinner & all you can drink wine/beer....i dont know what are the conditions for this, but we shall find out.

k lovers, later

Quick and Easy (like Agunzo)

In the interest of ensuring proper preparation for Lost can occur, we shall go to Giorgio's on Smithtown Blvd. next to the Nesconset post office. I enjoy this place, and it is where my family usually gets its pizza. Peace

If you didn't wish Reagan a happ birthday please do so.

American Roadside Burger

This week's TND, i will be picking American Roadside Burger.  I heard this place is good and has a nice atmosphere.  Here's the website  www.americanroadsideburgers.com  .  Thursday is also the premiere of the new season of LOST.  So for the sake of all lost fans, lets try to get there at 630 sharp.  

Address:

80 E. Main St, Smithtown NY

see ya there. laaaaaate

Buona Sera

Tonight I choose you, Buona Sera.

It is located in Smithtown on Main street (25). It is next too the Old Street Pub and in the shopping center with the Walbaums. If you hit the smithtown Starbucks you went too far!

See ya!

Patio Pizza

hey guys! unfortunately my tnd post will not be as funny or as racially offensive as danielles post from last week... however it is in purple which is fun!

so my pick for this week is:

Caligiuris Patio Pizza in St. James.
262 Lake Ave
Saint James, NY 11780
631-862-7475

it's a small, family run pizza place with a cute restaurant attached. i've been there like 100 times and everything on the menu is delicious... ANDDDD they give you free unlimited garlic knots on the table. i can't find a menu online, but basically they have everything you'd think an italian restaurant would have at normal prices. see you there :O)

jenny

ps. its not fancy like my last pick so wear whatever you want

Man Who Farts in Church Sits in Own Pew

I'd like to take a second to say that both lingo & liz will be missed greatly from these future meals. I can only hope that they read the blog and weep over the food they will never taste.

This week's meal will be at the China Tea House on Middle Country Road, it's the little blue house looking building in the Shop Rite Parking lot, if you are traveling east it will be on your right hand side.

I've been here a bunch of times before, I figured we'd mix it up a little, there's been a lot of italian, greek & meat the last few TNDs. This place has an all you can eat sushi menu for 20 bucks if you so choose to go that route, however they also have very traditional chinese meals (prepared much much better than the buffets)

In honor of the Chinese affair:
A Chinese couple get married & she is a virgin. On their wedding night, she cowers naked under the sheets as her husband undresses. He climbs in next to her and tries to be reassuring "My darling, I know this is your first time, and that you are frightened, but I assure you, I will give you whatever you want, I will do whatever you want, however you want. My darling, what do you want?"
"I want the number 69, I have heard about" she replies
Her husband looks at her in shock & confusion; "You want the chicken and broccoli?"


OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

2008 Math Debate

Go ahead, say it outloud...

Anyway, We're going to The Radio Grill on Terry Rd. in Smithtown aka portion, aka horse block, aka smithtown blvd, aka CR 63. I've heard good things and it's been open forever, so I figure it can't be all that bad. It is my first pick of a place that I have no been to, so I have truly sought to embody the spirit of TND in this new year.

Apparently the owner is a DJ on Q104.3 or something, so maybe Randy from BLI will be there and we can commit a hate crime together.

6:30, enjoy the menu below

197 Terry Road · Smithtown, NY

P.S. I saw Jenny in the mall yesterday. She had a HUGE Victoria's Secret bag in her hand, which I could only assume was filled with underwear for Chach.

I'm kidding, I don't think she had any bags actually...probably just trolling for mall ass, like I was.

The New Age and Face of TND

With the coming of the new year, and the inconvenience of some holidays (I'm look at you Christmas and New Years Day), as well as some graduate school issues the frequent diners of TND realized one thing... we would not be able to gather and gorge on a Tuesday.
Perplexing this was until it was realized that we CAN still have "TND" but the T wound no longer stand for Tuesday, but yet will stand for another glorious day of the week.

So now announcing for the first time: Welcome to THURSDAY NIGHT DINNER!

This complication was already taken care of last week when fed at Aegean Cafe II, located on Hawkins Ave. This was Tony's pick now that he his home between semesters.

All are welcome to TND,
Different name,
Same great flavor

-TNDers Unite

Buffalo Wild Wings

Hi Friends! It's Liz. I don't get why Jenny and I are not important enough to have our own posts, but whatever prudes.

My last pic for TND will be Buffalo Wild Wings at 6:30pm. B dubs is awesome, and Tuesday's wing night so there are deals. They have meat free and bone free foods too. It's not just wings.

This location is so new that it's not on their website, but heres for the menu.

(C)Hanukkah Night Dinner

Hey guys, I know it was Lingo's pick this week, but Hanukkah night only comes 8 times a year!  Come to my house tomorrow night at 645 for some Potato pancakes and veggies for a tru jew experience.  Give me a call/txt me/IM me and let me know if your coming.  Obviously you are all welcome to stay after and hang out... (Nazi's need not apply)

My hizzy

I still want to go here!

(I basically just copied the post from when we were supposed to go here)

The name of the restaurant is Gallo Tropical of Patchogue... located in Patchogue (go figure).

Here is the website http://www.gallotropical.com/

I would def check out the link. They have an excellent menu, a little family history and the dining room looks really fun.

I goin out on a limb and I'm gonna say this is gonna be the pick of the month.

Heres the address: 3 East Main Street, Patchogue, NY 11772

See ya,
Mr. L

Hey guys... it's jenny (still not important enough to make my own posts). My pick for this week is a restaurant called Cafe Joelle. I keep hearing great things about it and I've wanted to try it for awhile so I'm very excited. Tuesday night is pasta night for $13.95 ... and it looks like theres a lot to choose from. http://www.cafejoelle.net/pasta-night.html
I really hope everyone comes this week because last week was kinda sad...

Heres the address:
Cafe Joelle

Sayville, NY 11782

Update: Grill Room is still an option

Last tuesday we wound up at Bruno's... They had bacon cheeseburgers.  I was happy.  However ive heard really good things about the Grill Room.  Although I am not one of the original members of TND I stand true to the belief that TND is to find restaurants that are nice and akin to NBC reruns in 1999.  (if you haven't been there, then its new to you new to you.)  So lets do it guys!  Lets not wait 8 years to find our new Seinfeld, lets find it now!  Cause Bruno's is good, but Seinfeld is better.  Let TND become must eat TV (mmm tv dinner)

Kraft Cheese and Chacharoni

The Grill Room

Hey guys, ok this place has gotten a lot of good reviews online. and apparently they make a mean burger, which means its gonna be great. here's their website: http://www.thegrillroomrestaurant.com/

Dress nice cuase it might be nicer than taco bell, but really im just reminding myself to put on pants

Traveling West On 347

Gallo Tropical is POSTPONED!!! Dinner tonight (11/6) will be at Gino's Pizza on Portion Rd.

A near fatal shot was almost taken tonight.

Kickin' off November

Here we go. With a few scheduling problems this week will by my pick, and it looks like a good one. The name of the restaurant is Gallo Tropical of Patchogue... located in Patchogue (go figure).

Here is the website http://www.gallotropical.com/

I would def check out the link. They have an excellent menu, a little family history and the dining room looks really fun.

There is no way in hell that I am Dressing Up for dinner

In case you did not read the title of the blog, let me take a moment to clarify...There is no way in hell that I am dressing up for dinner.

In fact, if i have to eat with the Wolverine, Subzero and a ladybug (as cute and lovable as she may be) i might just have to go home.

That being said i would like to go to dinner at Gianna's Pizzeria

The address is 374 Mononey Pond Road, Farmingville NY (between college road & blue point road)

my parents get their pizza there and the menu was out and it looks really good, they have paninis and wraps and pastas and stuff. My parents also said it was sorta small but that they could stick tables together.

also it is right by my house, so jenny can come over after and we can plan our birthday extravaganza....and if anyone dresses up (dave cough cough) i can pretty much run home.

see you kids there!!

ps. i appologize to anyone that had a deep need to eat in halloween gear...if you are offended than maybe this weekend we can have one of daves wine tasting parties and dress up in the privacy in one of our homes.....maybe we can even get sang to borrow his dad's scooby-do nightgown for the occassion......because life basically comes down to "what would scooby do?"

California Pizza

In honor of the state with the biggest latino population I have decided to go to the California Pizza Kitchen by the mall and then rake the leaves on my front lawn. All 7 of us should take 1 small car to further celebrate.

Starving for Ideas?

If you a TNDer indeed so some super delicious idea for restaurants to visit I recommend we use this site.

http://www.menufrog.com/

It has a lot of restaurants on Long Island, and can be sorted by county or town, and also by what type of food you're looking for (Italian, Indian, Chinese, etc). It also gives and idea to the cost of the restaurant and sometimes a viewable menu.

It is the website of my secretary's daughter's fiance. I already used it to help me think of the BrickHouse. And from what I hear sometimes you can find coupons on that site for a restaurant. Sounds good to me.

TNDingly yours,
-Dave

Applebees

North Ocean Avenue. Cya there.

Oktobeerfest

Fall is upon us but the weather would tell us otherwise. However, I am telling you that TND this week will be held at the BrickHouse Brewery in Patchogue. I do not know why they leave out the space between the word Brick and the word House but who am I to judge.

Anyway, they have a menu and all that at their website @ http://www.brickhousebrewery.com/

See ya there!

PS this is my pick sukkas!

Ying and the Yang

Yin and yang are generalizations of the antithesis or mutual correlation between certain objects or phenomena in the natural world, combining to create a unity of opposites. It is also however Liz's restaurant pick for this upcoming Tuesday Night Dinner.

Yin & Yang Restaurant, 2548 Nesconset Hwy(347), Stony Brook (631-689-2222)
I know it is on the north side of 347 but that is about it.

So come one come all to the correlation of phenomena that is TND tomorrow night!

Lotus East

Hi guys this is Jenny on Chachs name (i dont have a blog name thingy yet) My pick will be Lotus East located on 25A in St. James. I've been there before and it's really yummy. It's a chinese food place, but it's not a buffet... it's kinda fancy (as fancy as a chinese food place could be). I called to see how the prices were and they weren't bad. See you then!



Some additional INfo:
http://search.cityguide.aol.com/longisland/restaurants/lotus-east/v-107341328

Tennessee Jack's

My choice for this week will be Tennessee Jack's BBQ. If u so choose, you may take the Armagedon Challenge eating all 8 super hot wings in 20 minutes can earn you a FREE tshirt and free stuff is awsome. It is Bluesday Tuesday so there will be live blues music playing for our enjoyment as well. I give credit to Agunzo for telling me about this place, and if it sucks i blame Agunzo for telling me about this place.

One Year Anniversary!!!

That's right, this will be the One Year Anniversary of TND this Tuesday. 52 consecutive weeks have gone by where friends come together to gorge themselves. We have had many people move way, many new members, and numerous cameos... but there is the myriad of memories as well.

A group concensious has been made to hold this joyous event at Mama Lombardi's in Holbrook, near Seneca. Our meeting time will be the usual 6:30.

All are welcome, and spread the word. From everyone at TND we hope to see you there.

Mama Angelina's

Ok friends here is the dizzle for tonight...

since i was camping on sunday i missed my weekly gravy fix & then i was talking to lingo and he said he was in the mood for "meat and sauce" so im picking mama angelina'sn ( it was either that or dinner @ the bunk house for ling's meat and sauce fix)

anyways i never had dinner there but there is a full dinner menu...and the pizza is really freaking good....it is on Vets highway going west in the Waldbaums shopping plaza..here is the address so you folks can google map it like im sure you all are going to do...

1251 Veterans HighwayHauppauge, NY 11788

k, see you there at like 6:30.

Ihop you skip

Since Pincess Di Lamagna won't let me pick TBell for dinner we shall be going to the IHOP by circuit city and the mall this week. 6:30 start time...I'm pretty sure no matter what time we get there we're going to have to wait. There seems to be a steady steam of elderly, white trash, and elderly white trash going in and out of that place...Looks like the place for Agunzo to find a husband.

P.S. I think we have coups, Agunzo is in charge. Shotty free something.

Probable Pickers

So everyone is clear the order of restaurant pickers for the following weeks. Today's TND is the 49th consecutive, which will also bring up the discussion of what should we do for our year anniversary.

Sang would have next pick (50), followed by Chach (51) and then Jenny should be next.
(This order should stand unless there are any new guest picks and/or absences.)

How or who should pick for week 52? Any thoughts? Should it be treated special?

Oh Pinchy

Hear ye! Hear ye!

Merry is back in town for a few days, and she will be picking this weeks TND.
It is possibly the last chain restaurant we have yet to visit, and that restaurant is: Red Lobster. The one off the expressway by Smokey Bones.

Liz has fallen nicely into taking over the responsibilities of telling everyone what they owe, which formerly was Tony's job.

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate,
-Dave

Ole Ole Ole

Mr. Lingo has chosen Ole Grill on portion road in the blockbuster shopping center as tonights pick.

See yaaaaaaaaa

T's last TND (for now)

My apologies for the lateness of the post but its a hectic time for me (and I drank too much last night). With out further ado, tonight's TND is Salsa Salsa in Smithtown on Rt. 111.

Carraba's Italian Grill

Tonight's TND is at Carraba's Italian Grill next to Famous Dave's on 347.
Their website.

Map of location.

6:30 be there or be rhombus.

Gyros and Pitas and Spinich OH MY!

Hello Friends... I returned from my mini-vacation to find out that i get this week's pick. Thrilling. So what does a girl do when she finds this out? she checks her list. that's right friends, when i see a place and i think "hey, that'd be a good TND" i write it down...basically i'm set for my next 6 picks...jealous? no? you will be when it's your turn and we are eating at taco bell.

anyways, i pick the greek place near Irish Times in Holbrook. I think it's called Greek Islands, but not too sure. So you will see it, it looks pretty big with huge blue letters. See you at 6:30ish.

Mom's Kitchen

By a turn of fate it is my turn to pick this week's TND. Turn of fate being that Agunzo is out of town and Lingo cannot make it because of work. I was not quite prepared to make such an important decision but here it is. My choice is Mama Cucina's. This small Italian restaurant is located in the blockbuster shopping center on Portion Rd. across from Walbaum's. It is on the east side of the shopping center the last place.

So there it is and we shall see you there!

PS this is pick double four. That's right! 44 consecutive weeks! All hail TND!

Correction

The name of the buffet attended last Tuesday is actually the Dynasty Buffet

-TND

It's Liz's pick so that means...

Yes yes it's time for another Chinese buffet, and our empty stomach say "bring it on! and refill the General Tsao!"

That's right this the hoard moves to Sunny Buffet (we think). Basically, go to the Patchogue BestBuy. Take Patchogue-Holbrook Rd, make a right at the Burger King, into Independance Plaza. It's in the shopping center with KayBee Toys, Okey Dokey, Best Buy, Bob's etc.

Last weeks Howard's was delicious. Once again it proves to be a fantastic location and a great portal into Patchogue. The waitress just kept refilling the sangria, it was wonderful. If you are looking for a delicious burger, salad and bottomless booze for 13 bucks with tip Howard's is the place!

Special Update

This week's pick will be at Howard's in Patchogue. Due to the holiday on the 4th this will be a bi-week (no one's pick).

This TND will also be at 5:30pm. Earlier than usual so take note.

Howard's is right on the southside of sunrise off of patchogue-holbrook. Call Dave or Tony for details.

Later

Heey everyone! TND is this tuesday!

This pick belongs to Jenny and she picked "the steamroom", the address is 4 East BroadwayPort Jefferson, NY 11777 and heres the website http://steamroomrestaurant.com/

TND is the way to be

my pick for this week will be Hoshi Sushi of Stoney Brook... its located @ 1320 Stony Brook Rd . or if u know where the Ralph's is in stony brook, its about two or three doors down. I hear that you theres a back room that u have to take off ur shoes n sit at a short table. I am calling to confirm this, however everyone should clean their feet accordingly!

Now announcing: 6/11/07

As Chach and Liz celebrate TND in the caribbean somewhere the left over Long Islanders will be attending Uno Chicago Grill (aka Pizzeria Uno). This will officially be labeled as pick by my ex-clone, the one the only the babyface without his beard thing.. Mills.
This establishment is located on the south side of 25 across from the mall. The time for this event is of course 6:45pm and we are expecting a sorted turn out. So come one come all!

For those of you home for the summer make it a tradition!

See you all then!

This week's pick shall be Maria's, a spanish restaurant in Nesconset. My parents love the joint and I have been there and can attest to the food quality. Last time I had some spicy shrimp thing that was delicious and $15. Like the last spanish place they also have combo platters where you can get a taco, enchellladaaah and chimichongas on the same plate...as well as chips AND bread to enjoy pre meal.

Its location is next to the Ralph's in Nesconset on Smithtown Blvd, also know as portion road, horse cock road or terry rd. Make a left from Old Nichols and if heading north or make a right if heading south. Me and my crew, will be there around 6:35.

On a side note, thanks to all those who went to Farmingdale on Friday, I'm told they usually have more than 20 people in the bar, but hey it was fun and Dave had some gravy.

P.S. feel free to take plates and silverware, seeing as we pay for the cook's healthcare....ohhhh!

TND ideas

Newsday was nice enough to help out anyone who is trying to figure out where they will pick for TND. They have published a list of all the restaurants located near the LIE. The list includes over 10 previous TND locations. Here is the link, check it out.

As for La Casa, what can I say, solid Italian food, free bread and we pushed close to double digits (9). Till next week when Sang selects his post Bday TND.

The House

La Casa is the choice for tomorrow's TND. Fine Italian food AND a pasta night, BAM. IT is located on the corner of 25 and 83 (thats middle country road and north ocean for you non route knowing pp).
As for last TND, I thoroughly enjoyed the food, although the service and presentation was sub par. The BBQ sauce was good and so was the food. All in all good time. The food was even very good reheated and caused a stir the next day as I ate ribs for lunch and made several pp jealous.

They ain't just ribs

Great combo meal selection which I am sure Tony will post about.

What I wanted to say is that The Spare Rib is our 36th consecutive TND, which means we have been doing this for 69% of a year (its really 69.231% but when rounded off it's funnier).

Back to Bbq-asics

This weeks pick will celebrate the devouring of meat. I have seen commercials for this restaurant for years but I do not know of anyone who has ever been there. So this weeks TND is The Spare Rib. It is located at 2098 Jericho Turnpike Commack, NY 11725.

Here is a link to their website: http://www.spareribonline.com

We have some people coming back from college and we have already enjoyed the return of Ravi. Who else is in?

See ya there!
-Tuesday Night Dinner

Here is a pic from a few weeks ago at Dan's pick that i found on my camera. Chach seems pretty into the meal.

My Big Fat Greek Pick

All of my picks so far have been mexican or latin places which i adore however, not everyone does and so i'm moving along to another favorite food of mine...greek. There are a bunch of good greek places that i like but they are all way too small to fit us. I've been past this place a bunch of times and have heard that we can all sit down in it so my pick is the Acropolis on Smithtown Blvd. by the Smithtown library and the Sundried Tomato. I'm not putting a google map cause if you don't know where this place is, frankly you shouldn't be eating with us at this point in the game. See you then.

O sole mio.. the tale of

Would I go back to that restaurant yes.

The bread on the table was delicious, coming in many varieties.

The service on the water was veeeery spotty.

Potion sizes were adequate but not the overbearing size that you normally receive at Italian restaurants.

Did my left over gnocchi suffice for lunch the next day at work? yes.

O sole mio enjoy my one thumbs up.

I am obviously terribly bored right now.

Agunzo is up next for her pick.. I hope we find out befoooooore Tuesday!

O Sole Mio

Tonights TND will be held at 6:45 at O Sole Mio, the pick belonging to Keith. Here is there website, there is a map on the website.

Menu

Seeing as there is no kids menu or hamburgers, some may want to check out the menu before hand...sorry Tony, no prices are listed.

Pick o da Week

Mr. Daniel Ling has chosen the Japanese restaurant, Takara

Takara is located at 1708 Veterans Memorial Highway in Islandia
(In the Islandia Shopping Plaza)

Before anyone can bitch about the pick or sushi Dan made sure to include that:
methudman6: anyone who doesnt like sushi can enjoy really good teryaki

Teryaki for me! what about you?

See you there,
TND

Blog

This goddamn site, I can't ever remember my password, I'm not sure why though, its pretty much the same as all my other ones. Anyway, i had a point here...Ah, thats right, we should go back to the Irish Coffee House...just a suggestion, take it or leave it. Furthermore, when is someone going to pick Wendy's or IHOP. Alright vaginas I just ate TBell and by my watch it has been in me for 7 minutes, so i only have about 3 left before I should make my way toward the bathroom.

9 commas, if you were counting...10 now.

P.S. I will never spell check anything that goes on this blog, it is beneath me...11

The Chinese Buffet

I enjoyed the extensive dessert choices at the chinese buffet. However, there was no garden made out of crystal.. but they did have chicken balls...

Cyrstal Gardens

Tonite Elizabeth Rivalsi has selected Cyrstal Gardens on portion road in the shopping center with Checkers and meat farms.

OK corrections

We reeeeeeeally need to work on keeping this blog up to date for our many loyal and hungry fans.

Let is be known that the TND of April the 10th was in fact actually at Friendly's on 347. It turned out to be a bi week pick (meaning no one officially picked it) because of the fact that most TNDers were off to Las Vegas the following day. The waitress did not give us free icecream.. even asking many times.

Special side note: Del Taco located on the strip in Las Vegas is not nearly as delicious as Taco Bell. However if you would still like to try some of their hot sauce packets let me know cause I smuggled a bunch back to LI.

Let it be further known that the TND of April the 17th WAS held at Meson Ole! on Middle Country road. It was pretty good. A lot of choices, verging on too many choices I feel. I have not eaten the left overs I brought home and should probably throw them out by now.

Sorry for the lack of updates!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLEEE

OLLLLE OLLLLE OOOOOOOLLE
Tonights TND will be at Meson Ole on Middle Country Road. Map is here. The pick was made by Chach.

Sundried

I have nothing clever to add to this thing so I'll get right to business. I shall be choosing Sundried Tomato for this week's dinner. It is a lovely little Italian restaurant in Smithtown with fantastic rigatoni alla vodka.

No maps, just words..
Pretty simple to get to. Just take portion west until its called smithtown blvd, you know, like by my house (or exit 58 and make a left onto it from old Nichols). It is in Nesconset plaza next to the Nesconset Library. If anyone is too afraid feel free to come to my house first and follow me.

Ben Ben Ben Ben Bennigan's

Ladies and Gents, time for TND and time for some godd wholesome Bennigan's fun. I am excited becuase this may be one of the last big chain resutaunts we go to. Here is a map of where it is located. See you there.

Blah.

Hi Friends

I missed TND! I was so hyped when i read the blog too cause i was like mannn this place is right by my house and i totally wanted a white slice. But instead i was home on a sick day laying around being ill. I thought i would share with you all my personal TND.

3 Advil
875 mg Augmentin
1 medium pina colada/crystal light slurpee
1/2 leftover St. Joseph's Day pastry

See you homos next week.

Back to Italian

Dearest TNDers,
It is time for me to announce my pick for this weeks upcoming TND. I will be choosing Cafe Amici. Amici of course meaning friends, and we all are friends, and Cafe of course meaning cafe... which if you mix around the letters can spell face... which we all have. So as you can see this is the perfect restaurant for us.

The restaurant is on middle country road in Selden... I forget what is in the shopping center but if youre heading east its the one before the one with Bobs and the old RadioShack where I used to work. I know we all made fun of Danielle for not putting in a link... but I am not that good at it either I guess.... so suck it.

I know that there is a huggge pasta combo special... so if you feel like challenging yourself and wowing the rest of us, and having a heart attack, I recommend you prepare yourself now.

Be well, eat well,
-Mr. L

The OFFICIAL half year TND

Danielle's choice was excellent. I was pleased by the turn out, the delicious beer, and the copious amounts of water.

Here's to another wonderful 26 dinners!

Cheers!

PS: Thanks to the spring breaking Sammys that showed up- Mills and Oill

Awwww Pictures!!!!

Ok i think i figured out the whole picture posting deal. This is the happy family at cricket's. Along with Keith finally eating his entire meal.

Ima So Spicy

Ok friends. As announced last Tuesday, my pick for this Tuesday shall be Pollo Rico on Middle Country Road. Now, I attempted to be all fancy and find a map and directions and stuff but in all honesty, I am lazy and didn't try all that hard and this post will remain mapless.

This is a new place but I heard that it was really good from a co-worker so it will be fun.

Basically to get there pretend you are leaving the mall on middle country and head east. this place is on your left hand side right around where the bridal suite is and stuff....i think this was actually the old lo monico's resturant.

so be there at 7 and it will be fun as always.

also, i have pictures on my camera from past TND's...again...i can't/don't want to figure out how to load them anywhere...any volunteers?

Half a year, all the food

Tonite TND turns half a year and does it at.....Cricket's on main street in Sayville. Here is the map. As always between 6:45 and 7pm. Be there or be rectangle.

Wings & Breasts

Ladies and gents prepare yourself for a memorable Tuesday Night Dinner as we stuff our faces with the two things we all love most; for my pick this week is none other than hOOters. It is located between on the north service road between exits 58 & 59, cya there!

TND Asian style

A historic and somber TND will be held tomorrow night at The New Grand Buffet next to Dave and Busters in islandia. It is the first purely buffet style dining experience so I for one am very excited. It is a somber occasion since founding members David Lamagna and Kieth "no relation to the big red dog" Clifford will not be joining us. They are drunkly cruising around somewhere and will enjoy there own TND experience. I will text them and make sure they find an eggroll or something so that they can say that they enjoyed TND by proxy. BTW's the pick belongedto Miss Elizabeth Rivalsi.

As for last week meal I give the wings a solid A- and the salad a B- becasue fo small portion size.

P.S. Un TND related but I apologize in advance for the thousands of times in the next few months that I sing "Heeeeeeeey Hey baby I want to knooooohhhoow will you be my girl." Consider your selves warned.

Tonight's TND

Tonight we will meet at Houlihan's next to the mall at 6:45 pm....The pick belongs to Chach,, Be there, Be square.

TGIT

Hey Asses-
Since my politcal affiliation by defination states that I love America more than anyone else in the group, I will continue my theme of large chain resturants with shit on the walls. As such, we will be going to Fridays at the Mall this Tuesday. I will reccomend anything with their Jack Daniels sauce, its basically maple syrup with a manly name. Futhermore, I anticipate problems with the menu, as it is large and includes many varities of meat and or chicken dishes. I for one will be considering their price fix option because if they have commericals for it, it has to be worth it.

in the spirit of the past super bowl I'd like to set some odds:

2:1 - Liz gets an appetizer for dinner
3:1 - Tony gets something without bacon
10:1 - Dave does not get BBQ sauce
2:3 - I have to shit before the check comes
Even Money - Liz and Agunzo are late
100:1 - Ravi shows up
8:1 - Keith enjoys his meal

Any takers?

TND turns the big 20!

My pick this week for TND is SMOKEY BONES. Its got BBQ, beer buckets and more BBQ. It is on the south service road (so you are going east) inbetween exits 60 and 61.

-Tony

Check It

My pick for TND this week will be the Long Island Grill on portion road. I think they have commercials so its gotta be good.

6:30pm and all are welcome, there will also be the return of Keith.

Last week's dinner was awesome, El Dorado has a lot to choose from. There was only 5 of us (Tony, Sang, Agunzo, Liz and myself), it was a nice break from our recent 10+ outtings.

There is a new BBQ joint in Northport that one of my students recommended, but I feel like that might be too far for everyone... but maybe in the future.

Also here is a list of the date/location of every TND, along with who chose that location.

Enjoy!
