JM Gerrish – Winter Harbor, ME
What I didn’t understand about camping in Acadia National Park is that one of the campgrounds (Schoodic Point), while only seven miles from Bar Harbor (in a straight line), it is at least an hour’s drive. The town at Schoodic is Winter Harbor – and the town was closing down for the season (the campground […]
The Travellin’ Lobster
The ultimate destination for the Great Northeast Road Trip of 2025 was Maine – Acadia National Park for me and Anyplace With Fresh Lobster for my wife! Venturing down to Bar Harbor, we rolled into the Travelin’ Lobster for late lunch, after going out on a lobster boat in the morning. All over that part […]
Louis’ Lunch – New Haven, CT
On our great Northeast road trip, the stop at mile 1126 was Louis Lunch, in New Haven, CT. Open since 1895 (although the entire building was moved to the current location) Louis Lunch is the inventor of the hamburger sandwich as we know it today. , Two blocks off the campus of Yale University, they […]
Dune Brothers Seafood – Providence, RI
As we were heading back to the Providence airport, after a visit to Newport, there was time for one more seafood stop. So I asked my friend, Mr. Google, where to find the best seafood, at lunch time, in Providence. And Dune Brothers Seafood appeared in the top five on several lists. Located on a […]
Yum’s II – Washington, DC
Tonight’s first dinner comes to you courtesy of an article from the July 2011 issue Travel and Leisure, called “The United States of Deliciousness”. In it, the chef at Beef & Barley raved about the Philly cheesesteak at Yum’s II. He said it was the best cheesesteak, outside of Philly. Challenge accepted. In town for […]
Rose’s Luxury – Washington, DC
If you read yesterday’s lament (note: the lament was definitely not about where I ate – which was a phenomenal meal, but about where I didn’t get to eat) about the plumbing problem, that once again, thwarted my attempt to go to Rose’s Luxury, you’ll be pleased to hear that the quest is finally over. […]
Little Serow – Washington, DC
Every spring, for the last twenty-something years, I head to a conference in Washington, DC. As with every other adventure I take, there’s always planning around the Omnivore’s Dilemna. Last year, I tried to get to a restaurant that was new to the scene in 2014 and has been named the second best restaurant in […]

Royal Tavern – Philadelphia, PA
Known for my exceptional timing, I arrived in the City of Brotherly Love, four days ahead of the Pope. The airport and every street sign was welcoming the Pontiff and on Tuesday night, the police were in full preparation mode. The first place I headed to for dinner (in Fairmount), I couldn’t get near, at […]
