PARIS COMES TO GREAT NECK

Boulangerie Marie Blanchere is located at 550 Middle Neck Road Road.

The pastries are excellent, the baguettes are delicious, the coffee is fresh and very good.

With its first location in the USA right here in Great Neck, I had the pleasure of tasting a few of the beautifully baked goods offered, including the almond and plain croissants, hamburger buns and baguettes.  Looking forward to going back for more.  The chocolate cake, raspberry and fruit pies, sandwiches and pizza look fresh and worth the calories. One can order a cappuccino, and ice coffee is also available.

The staff is very nice and I am most impressed guests on the long lines  have been most patient. 

The trip to Boulangerie Marie is an adventure.  Bon Voyage et Bon Appetit!

PARKWAY DINER

I had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious breakfast at the Parkway Diner in Douglaston (44-25 Douglaston Parkway).

The restaurant and the rest rooms (wheelchair access) are very clean.  The decor is warm and cozy. Their menu is extensive, offering burgers, salads, quesadillas, wraps, steaks, breakfast, brunch, etc.

The staff is polite, professional and service is excellent.  I ordered the eggs over easy, The food came out  within a reasonable time and was hot.  The dish was delicious and the potatoes were perfect.  The rye bread was well toasted, not burnt.  Refills, on the very good coffee, kept coming.

I highly recommend this jewel in Douglaston. Let us know what you think.

Bon appetit!
