A breadwinner on Hertel
I've only been to Joe's Deli a couple of times, though during both visits I really enjoyed the food. Yesterday was a rather chilly day so I figured I would try out one of their soups. I went for the potato leek soup that was served piping hot. The creamy soup was full of minced veggies and chunks of potatoes and had a spicy kick to it. The large side of exquisitely marbled rye bread was super fluffy and soaked up the soup perfectly.
For my meal I opted for the Rachael Ann, which consisted of sliced turkey breast, Swiss Loraine, coleslaw (or sauerkraut if you want), with Russian dressing on marble rye. I just could not get enough of that bread. The sandwich (served warm) melted in my mouth and was so big that I ended up taking home half of it. Served with a side of crispy chips, the Rachael Ann is a tough one to beat... the bread stole the show. I must also say that the music selection at Joe's was superb as well. Lloyd Cole and the Decemberists are two great bands to listen to while enjoying your meal. Joe's is located at 1322 Hertel Avenue (corner of Colvin) 716-875-JOES

Gimme a (coffee) break
With the opening of more and more coffee houses downtown, some people wonder if Buffalo is really a coffee town. Buffalo is the original coffee town!
The "coffee break" which is taken for granted as a standard part of any work day has only been around for about a hundred years. Coffee culture has continued to flourish in this country and the espresso boom of the Pacific Northwest in the 1990s has seen to it that every other gas station in America now has a barista on staff.

Sea Bar-City
It's great to see stylish, hip, new restaurants pop up downtown such as Sea Bar on Ellicott Street, which specializes in contemporary Japanese food. A clean ultra-modern space, Sea Bar’s dining room is quaint and inviting. The sleek sushi bar has counter seating and the wet bar, with beer, sake, and wine, has at least 10 sakes to choose from on any given night. We were happy to try a Sojitio, a sake mojito, which had the right amount of mint without too much sweetness.

Dinosaur Stalks Buffalo!!
Ten years ago, the downtown of My Fair City was forever altered when a Big Dinosaur appeared on the scene. Thankfully—unlike 1950’s Tokyo—when this dino showed up our downtown wasn’t flattened, but considerably improved. Dinosaur Bar B Que, a restaurant that originated in downtown Syracuse in the 1980’s, planted its foot in downtown Rochester in 1998. It was an instant hit—it’s common to have a line waiting to get in at all times. And it’s clearly Hog Heaven— … - Nov 21st 2008, 9:05am

Every time I check this channel that picture makes me hungry. Did Joe's used to be Mastman's location or am I mixing things up?
