Well a bit delay in getting this out, but here it goes..  In New Dorp, actually, right on New Dorp Lane, Uzbekistan has finally opened.  One issue we have is, WE CAN”T READ THE MENU!!!  Most of the Menu is typed/published in Russian, which is a bit disturbing to see that we can only understand about 50% of the menu, hopefully they will get this on track as soon as possible.

Another Cafe (Health Food) that we have been also delayed in reporting has been open for about One Month now, nice clean and simple atmosphere with a bus stop location is a great addition to Staten Island, Maybe I can finally get my “Juice” veggie fix of the day at this location.  I just think there may be a small problem with parking, since there is a bus stop right in front and we all know how quick the meter maids are to whip out there ticket books.  So please folks, park around the corner.

Nico’s of Richmond town has finally been re-opened after a renovation and a new business partnership with a very famous actor.   On a special invitation for WhereYouEat.com to be part of the Grand Opening of Nico’s, we were welcomed on Tuesday Evening by the new interest in owner Vinnie Pastore to finally open the doors to the new “Nico’s”.

A restaurant that has a great decorated dining room with a stage for the live band/singers and jazz nights to add relaxation to any given evening was already in progress on the grand opening.  We had met many new people  during this grand opening and the owner (Barbara) seems to be very interested in running the business and promoting it right.  Nico’s features a separate take out pizzeria (Separate and Single Entrance Available).  Authentic style Italian Cooking and a few very famous actors with great interest in the business (We were told Vinnie is now part owner of Nico’s).

 

The Grand Opening has featured what seemed to be mostly friends of the owners but the food that we have seen looked simply delicious, I have not really felt comfortable taking photos of people’s food while they were eating, so there are no food shots yet, but will be in the near future.
