Date of dining experience: August 7, 2018
Place: The Field Burger & Tap
Location: 1 Country Club Ln. in State College, PA
Burger: The Lancaster ($15) - Lancaster bacon, smoky cheddar, fried egg, field greens, tomato, horseradish mayo, and a beautifully-cooked red-center burger patty, all perfectly placed on a delicious brioche roll.
Beers: I love it when a restaurant offers a flight of beer samples.
1. Voodoo White Magick of the Sun - A very nice witbier.
2. The Field Amber Ale - A nice, light red ale.
3. North Country Station 33 Firehouse Red - A very nice Irish red ale.
4. Neshaminy Creek Churchville Lager - A pretty good Vienna lager.
Neshaminy Creek has been pretty impressive lately in the beers they produce that I have tried. This was definitely the best of this group, with the Station 33 coming in second.
This restaurant is pretty good, but it is a little overpriced for what it is, probably because it is located in the Country Club. Nevertheless, the burgers are good and there is a decent selection of draft beer. Try this place out for yourself and let me know what you think. Enjoy!

Place: Sfilatino
Location: 342 W. 57th St. in New York City, NY
Meal: Assisi Egg Sandwich ($8.95) - Sausage, egg, and fontina cheese, perfectly proportioned on a delicious piece of fresh bread. I don't usually go for sausage in the morning, but having something with some spices sounded really good.
Coffee: The standard black.
This is a wonderful place for a quick bite or nice lunch. They have great coffee and even better food. Try this place out for yourself and let me know what you think. Enjoy!

Place: Il Violino

Location: 11609 Detroit Rd. in Cleveland, OH
Meal: Brothers Nachos ($10) - House-fried tri-colored tortilla chips topped with the house cheese sauce, roasted corn and black bean salsa, roasted jalapenos, goat cheese, guacamole, and scallions. The perfect bar dish!
Beers:
1. Downeast Cider House Winter Blend - A deliciously-spiced cider to warm the body.
2. Latitude 42 Rainbow Weasel - Another delicious beer, but this time a golden ale.
I went to this place to play a jazz gig. With live music, great draft beer, a nice wine selection, and good food, you can't beat The Brothers Lounge if you are looking to go out. I highly recommend trying this place out for yourself. Let me know what you think. Enjoy!
