Newark Terminal B
2023 Dec 11
I would give it a two star but I never do unless it’s absolutely and horribly bad.
I still find Newark difficult to navigate to and from the plane.
Checking in was a hot mess. TSA was even worse. Thank goodness we arrived 5hrs early since it took 1hr 20min to get thru.
Finally got thru TSA then had to deal with Lufthansa and their disorganization or boarding.
They don’t explain how they’re boarding so people were just standing at the boarding gate as soon as they arrive causing congestion and confusion.
The layout of the airport isn’t an easy flow.
Baggage claim isn’t too bad but like I said, it’s not the easiest.
Overall, I won’t fly out from here unless it’s my last resort unfortunately.
Gallaghers Steakhouse
2023 Sep 14
Our dining experience here was absolutely wonderful!!!
We were in town to see the Eagles concert at MSG and decided to try a different steakhouse instead of our usual. We weren’t disappointed trying somewhere new.
HIGHLY recommend making reservations or you’ll be out of luck trying to get in.
The Host was professional and courteous.
Seated us accordingly to our reservation.
Walking through was an experience of all the wonderful memories this restaurant had.
Beautifully decorated with pictures of the past and richly colored with old world charm.
The bar room was centered well to accommodate more guests.
Our dining table was towards the back where we had a nice view of the open concept kitchen.
The booth was very comfortable.
Seating seemed to be a bit crowded during peak dinner hours. We had a lot of room at 4:30pm when we arrived. At 5pm is when more guests started arriving and we had guests fill up all along the wrapped booth. It was enough to eat comfortably but to close to get out from the booth comfortably with disturbing the table.
Staff was also absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable of their menu.
Menu had quite a bit of deliciousness to chose from.
Prices were very reasonable for this upscale steakhouse.
Drink menu had a great selection of wine, champagne, cocktails and beers. Also reasonable prices.
Service was on par for timing of drinks, appetizers to entrees.
Did not order dessert since we’re not dessert people.
Since the restaurant became busier, our waiter was a bit slower to getting our check. We were on a tight schedule to get to the concert so we had to flag our waiter to move things along. It’s understandable not a big deal.
Ambiance was so relaxing and quiet soothing despite the hustle of a busy kitchen.
Overall, we had such an exquisite meal and wonderful conversations about this place. Love it!!! Thank you Gallaghers.
MINISO USA
2023 Jun 16
Great store if you or your kids are into this stuff. My granddaughter is in love with these products.
Location was easy since it’s the cutest store front to capture any kids eyes.
Parking- can’t comment since it’s New York.
Selection- absolutely abundant
Prices- reasonable
Staff - friendly
Check out - expect long lines even at the self checkout
Overall it was super cute and so many products available with probably no shortages.
My husband disc golf here and I tag along for the exercise.
It’s a 3 star because there are times when I need to really, really need a restroom and the facility there is never open!!!
The path for the disc golfers is a medium level. There are a lot of rocks and tree roots sticking out. Our walk consisted of obviously this time of year lots of autumn leaves on the ground. It also rained earlier in the day which made it very difficult to walk in certain areas.
Lots of hills since it is on a little mountain.
Location is off the main road and down a woody area.
I really enjoyed the nature art from all the mushrooms and moth’s growing everywhere.
Close by to Lehigh Valley University and a 10min drive to the Steel Stacks in Bethlehem.
Parking lot is more than ample.
The mountain does have some picnic tables and grill available for a nice picnic sometime.
The mountain was well maintained by not having litter anywhere I walked.
Overall I enjoyed our nice unusual warm day and got my walk for the day.
Panera Bread
2022 May 14
I have never had a bad experience at Panera. They always have healthy delicious food. The bakery section is such a bonus.
I had the creamy chicken and rice soup with a side of chips. My first time ordering this and I loved the soup.
Location is easy to get to. It is busy due to having Walmart being in the same area
Staff was okay. If she would’ve smiled maybe it wouldn’t have been so painful to order from her. I’m sure it was just a hectic day for them.
Dining area is nice and clean.
Prices are so reasonable for the deliciousness.
