Always The Soup du Jour

Manhattan Clam Chowder is hard to come across in the area and luckily, this chowder can be found daily on the menu at Fox Heights Pub & Grill, a recent addition in the downtown district and sister restaurant to Fox Harbor about 4 blocks down the road.  Clam meat rules in this chowder along with tomato filets, diced carrots and bacon in a steamy tomato broth.

StayFit Cuisine*


 The Pub is located in the Hyatt on Main hotel and while a hotel is generally not what may come to mind when looking for a restaurant at which to dine, the daily availability of The Pub's menu is convenient.  This salmon dish is featured as one of the StayFit Cuisine* items indicating it is a healthful dining choice on The Pub menu.  The salmon is grilled and served with steamed seasonal vegetables, a fluffy rice pilaf and grilled lemon.

Extra Napkins Needed


You'll need two hands and a napkin or two or three for this one.  And as the name on the menu at Cafe Espresso implies: Super Italian Beef is, well, super...super tender roasted Italian beef that is shredded and sandwiched between soft Italian bread with grilled onion and sautéed green pepper, crisp lettuce and your choice of shredded cheese, combo or shown here, Romano.  Sandwiches at Cafe Espresso are served with chips (a.k.a. tortilla chips and salsa) and a juicy kosher pickle.
