We’ve been having a blast this summer, making the rounds of local festivals like Lumen and Van Duzer Days, and taking every opportunity to get to the beaches and parks. Since it’s been so blasted hot, we’ve also avoided using our stove and oven whenever possible. What a perfect excuse to eat out more often!
Lucky for us, in addition to our old favorites, tons of new places to eat and drink have opened up in recent months. Here are some of the new spots we’ve been checking out:
Bagel Mercato, 70 Bay Street in St George. Great spot to sit and enjoy breakfast or lunch or to grab a bagel and coffee on the way to the ferry. Wish they’d expand weekend hours!
Blue, 1115 Richmond Terrace in the old RH Tuggs spot.
Ting n Ting, 704 Bay Street in Stapleton. Definitely try the Callaloo!
Tapas, 661 Bay Street in Stapleton.
Rick’s Cafe, 695 Bay Street in Stapleton. If you like them on facebook you’ll be privy to special offers, such as tonight’s 10% off your bill.
Blooming Coffee Shop, breakfast, lunch and dinner at 469 St. Marks Place in Tompkinsville.
Famous Eddie’s Hot Dogs at 70 Van Duzer St. in Tompkinsville. This place had a nice write-up in the Advance.
Where shall we go next? Recommendations welcome!
