Peter Luger Steak House Restaurant

A favorite steakhouse of mine is Peter Luger Steak House, located in both Brooklyn and Great Neck, NY.

  • sounds pretty reasonable especially when it comes to steak. I’d love to see a picture of the outside of the building and inside decor. Plate pictures usually make my mouth water too. Sounds like a great place to eat. Yum

  • Deal-ectable Mommies

    Truth be told, I would pay $200 for an amazing steak and this place looks amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!

  • Nichol

    Oh gosh hubby would be in heaven. I wonder how close this is to where we will be staying this Spring? We will be right next to the Empire State Building!

  • Stacie @ The Divine Miss Mommy

    We LOVE Peter Luger’s. My husband is such a steak fan that we ate there twice last time we were in New York.

  • HilLesha

    Sounds like a nice restaurant!

  • Kathleen B.

    Yum! That looks and sounds delicious. My mouth is literally watering over here. If I am ever in NY, I know where I am headed for dinner!

  • Rajni

    I agree with you! They are the best!

  • Alison

    I am going to coerce my husband one day to go eat here. Looks delicious! And that’s not a bad price at all to be paying for yummy food. Thanks for the review, I’m dying to go there now.

  • Jersey Shore Restaurant

    Wow…I love everything in this post. A perfect choice for a special occasion!..and This sounds like a fun place. it’s a real restaurant review! thanks

  • That is the most unbelievable looking steak I’ve seen in a long, long time. Wow.

A Love Story

An Old Fashioned Love Story My dad’s parents were married seventy years, and never spent a single day apart except for the time my grandfather was away at war. Their love story started in a time and place that chaperones weren’t enough- a young lady was simply told a man wanted to marry her, and […]

  • Brandy

    What an amazing story. I had goosebumps reading it. Thank you for sharing this ๐Ÿ™‚ True love story!

  • Shana Putnam

    That is a beautiful love story and what a testimony. Awesome.
    About my blog, I have no idea i fit is genesis or not lol. I will ask Angie though and let you know. She did a wonderful job on it I think and she did make it so me. I love it. Good trade for a cute elephant hat huh??

  • That is such a gift that she shared all those stories with you. I hope you have written them all down so that you can pass them on as well. It’s amusing that height played into his initial decision on saying no, huh?

  • Michelle

    This is a beautiful post.
    Your post shows you are a thinker.

  • beautiful…we have to capture those stories before they are gone…love listening to others stories…and know you will treasure them…

  • That is SO sweet!

  • Shop with Me Mama

    Just beautiful!!

  • Such a sweet story. I loved reading about their love and devotion to each other.

  • Tammy

    Thanks for sharing! The history of who we are and where we came from is inspiring, isn’t it? I love knowing that they were married for 70 years, that’s a really long time. My grandparents were married 60+ years before my Grandfather passed away.

  • HilLesha

    That is beautiful and so sweet. Thanks for sharing! I love stories like this. ๐Ÿ™‚

  • I agree, this is a beautiful story Penelope. Where did your dad’s family come from originally?

    It shows that we take so much for granted these days. There was a lot more respect then too. Wonderful post. Thanks.

  • Bibi

    What a beautiful and touching love story.

  • carol y

    I love this story. What country did they come from? Family history is so wonderful to know. I love how they loved each other and how he was such a good husband to her, too. They sound like they were quite wonderful people.

  • Susan Heim

    I love this story! I’m collecting stories for a potential “How We Met” book, and I would love for you to submit this. Details at . Thanks for sharing this!

  • Lauralee Hensley

    How wonderful. That is a time where young married people knew they were going to have to work at their marriages since they did not know much about each other before hand. What a wonderful husband too, one that would come home after work to help his wife and be with her, rather than out drinking.

  • nicรณle (be your own star mantra cuff)

    What a wonderful gift! Thank you for sharing this amazing story of your grandparents with us!

    What a beautiful story! It’s nice to hear a good love story once in awhile.

Not Everyone Is Impressed With the Snow

Little man’s first experience with snow. He looked at it cautiously, suspiciously, and didn’t venture too close. When I put some in his hands, he tossed it aside and examined his cold fingers. Then he reached up for me to hold him and tugged on me to bring him back inside. Ah, well, I tried. […]

  • Nichol

    Awww. My daughter was scared of the snow the first time we brought her in it. Screamed until we brought her in.

  • Hope he likes snow a little more next time. Actually I’m with him – not impressed, especially since we just got a least 16 more inches this week!

    BTW – cute picture ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Shana Putnam

    Haha, how funny. I love snow but don’t blame him at all!

  • Amy

    OH my gosh.. I am not liking the snow either.. THanks for stopping by my blog. It is nice to meet you.. Thanks again..

  • My middle daughter never liked it either. And the year we moved, she finally came around…a little…to it. Now we live in So. Cal…and well…we would have to drive to the snow. haha. Keep trying. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • Modern cloth nappies

    Haha – my son (nearly 2) isn’t a fan of snow yet either…I’m sure they will learn to love it soon enough ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Shop with Me Mama

    LOL! This how BOTH my kids are still. Maybe it is good that we don’t get too much snow? Haha!

  • Tammy

    ha ha – now that’s a boy after my own heart. I could seriously do without the snow ๐Ÿ™‚

    I remember when our boys were younger.
    They didn’t like the cold snow either.

    Cute picture!

  • Connie

    What a cutie!

  • Penelope

    I guess it takes a little time for them to get the “play” aspect of it.

  • Penelope

    I can live without more snow this you, that’s for sure.

  • HilLesha

    Well, he isn’t the only one. I hate the snow! ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Annie @ Mama Dweeb

    That is about the same reaction my boy gave me too…..but his 3 yr old sister? LOVES IT! maybe it is the age?

  • I guess it really is a rather odd thing when you come right down to it!

  • Awww, what a cutie. Too bad he didn’t enjoy the snow.
