Operational Mode
Le Metro on Elmwood Avenue will soon become MODE. Owner, Jon DiBernardo has brought on board two new partners that will be adding some zest come Friday. "I'm looking forward to working with Buck Kaber and Martin Palame," Jon told me. "The two will help to manage the daily activities, and those patrons who currently like Le Metro will be excited to see new decorative touches that will alter restaurant's identity through changes of fabric and color. We'll keep the price-point low and serve the reliable food that everyone has come to enjoy. We want to add to the lunch experience... we're adding to the dinner-esque meals that create a more bistro-like atmosphere during the day.
More than anything else, Jon is pleased that his entire staff is behind the change-up. "After ten years in business on Elmwood I am so happy that my staff is behind me on this one. I spoke to Buck Kaber who had this to say about his involvement at Le Metro: "I started off here as a fan and now will have a chance to take part in the day to day operations of the place. We're going to add some color, change the colors, work with the lighting... just you wait to see the new look." Le Metro is a long-standing restaurant in the city that will continue to add to the vibrant and urban appeal of Elmwood Avenue. The changes are just around the corner at 284 W Utica Street in Buffalo (716) 885-1500

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, 9:05am

Si, Si, Cecelia's
Cecelia’s Ristorante & Martini Bar is prepared to guide their guests through the tastes of fall with their brand new fall menu. Although it is getting a bit too cold for the patio, the hardy food inside will warm things right up.
I started out with the Harvest Salad ($8) and the “Lumpy” Crab Cakes ($9). The Harvest Salad was served with a rosemary citrus vinaigrette, and topped with apricots, beets, pine nuts, walnuts, dried cranberries, and other assorted dried fruits. … - Nov 13th, 8:25am

Breakfast at Home: Crepes
One of the perks my daughter's friends enjoy about a sleepover at my home (other than rearranging the furniture for movie time) are the crepes I serve our guests in the morning.
I can remember sleepover breakfasts from when I was a kid that consisted of potato chips and soda from the night before. If the lack of sleep didn't make us dizzy and irritable enough, the fat, salt and sugar we ingested in the morning would make sure the entire day would be counted for lost. Ugh.
