Recently the eatery made its way to Irving’s new Toyota Music Factory, giving us yet another reason to salivate over this space.  Before my visit, I’d never eaten at Grimaldi’s before, so I was pleasantly surprised by their wine selection.

The Chelsea Corner Comeback

Chelsea Corner – 4 Stars It’s a Tuesday night, and the cocktail of choice is equal parts 20 to 30 somethings and empty nesters.  Since their inception in 1974, this has been the shaken and not stirred make-up for Chelsea Corner. Recently reopened, Chelsea Corner is up to its old tricks, but this time around they’ve added an extra punch to the elixir. Having never visited Chelsea Corner during their first go round, I wasn’t sure what to expect of the longstanding establishment.
