Mealey’s Restaurant Review

Mealey’s, located in New Market, is an excellent place to dine if you’re looking for a romantic place to take someone. It doesn’t strike me as a family restaurant because of the decor and the elegant look of the dining room. They are very accomadating to children though. They give your child books and coloring books, and they also have a children’s menu. The attire is dressy-casual, but I’ve seen people in there with jeans and t-shirts. My family and I went there one night for a nice dinner. The food on the menu is on the expensive side, but it’s very good food. I had the Stuffed Rainbow Trout that was stuffed with crab meat and with brie cheese and shrimp on top. It was absolutely delicious and I ate everything off of my plate. There was also some seasonal vegetables with butter and garlic mashed potatoes. This was an EXCELLENT dinner and my family enjoyed it as well. Their crab cakes are specatular as well.

Bottom Line: A good place to dine if you can swallow their more expensive prices, but you are getting what you pay for, which is excellent food.

New York, New York Hair Salon and Spa Review

This is my first review on this blog :) What a milestone xD. New York New York Hair Salon and Day Spa is located on 808 Toll House Avenue in Frederick, MD. Their website is www.nynyhair.com My step-mother and I have been frequenting this salon for quite a few years. In her case, about 10 years, and my case about 3. This salon has very experienced professionals working there, and you can always expect the best from them. The products they use on peoples’ hair are fantastic and smell wonderful. They also sell the products they use. I’ve had quite a few hair stylists over the years, but I found mine at NYNY. NYNY used to be a well run facility and you could always expect quality from them. However, over the years, their manager Sharon left, the quality has gone down somewhat. It is not as well run as it used to be, and you can expect them to be running late or to be asked to reschedule. This is not always the case, but it is quite often. The prices are steep, about 50$ for a wash, haircut, and style and upwards of 60-70$ for an updo. However, they use Paul Mitchelle products, so this might be expected.

Bottom Line: A great place to frequent if you can deal with their lack of organization.

I’ve also had the pleasure of getting a facial there, and I can say that their estheticians are wonderful. I had Jacqueline for my facial, and she’s a wonderful and bubbly person. It was a great experience, and I would definitely go there again for facials. In fact, I’m getting another one soon ;) I’ve been told the other lady that works there, Abby, isn’t as good. I’ve never had her, so I wouldn’t know. They use Dermalogica products and they have a wonderful facility, and it is well equipped to facilitate relaxation.
