I’ve been known to go in, order a whopping iced coffee, and take whatever they’ve got going for the lunch special. But for those who don’t have the luxury of living just a drive away from this gem, I’d recommend the garlic beef tips or anything with vermicelli because, well, duh."

"Huynh Restaurant is a top destination for authentic homestyle Vietnamese cooking; check them out for a comforting order of pho, fresh spring rolls, or a flavorful plate of crispy flat rice noodles topped with stir fry.

Mandola's has been a part of the East End neighborhood for decades, with many customers flocking to buy its cannolis. Mandola's Deli offers Sicilian specialties such as sesame seed cookies and fig cookies."

"This spot is wallet friendly and should be a go-to for when company who can’t decide between a sweet or savory outing. Crepes here are as thin as they are in France, but have modifications on fillings and toppings that could be designated as American (bacon) or even Italian (nutella – a must.) The restaurant has pre-invented crepe combinations, but they can be made to order. Don’t forget to snap a few photos in this brightly lit atmosphere, and to bring at least one friend."

So if the older teens and adults of the family are fans of live musical review with a little humor mixed in, this definitely is the place for them. The shows are funny and fantastic with very talented performers able to add their memorable and special touch."

"Comedy meets music at the always-entertaining Music Box Theater. Musicians and artists blend songs, sketches and soul into a show that will have you laughing and singing along all night long."
