We had one of the best foods from MIFUNE New York. The Executive Chef, who is an acquaintance of my gourmet sister’s best friend. Everything we had was so good, we went back for more, and then again! I took my mother there while she was vising us here in NYC, and also, my in-laws. […]

Tsukishima Monja Moheji
The last tasty spot my gourmet sister took us to was a fun dinner spot called Tsukishima Monja Moheji. People nowadays might know one of the traditional Japanese comfort food, Okonomiyaki. We can get them in NYC too, from a spot like DokoDemo. Monja is similar, but it is not solid as okonomiyaki. You will […]
Takemura
This is another cool place my gourmet sister took us for some traditional sweets. Takemura was founded in 1930, survived the war and all! It is one of the Tokyo’s “Select Historic Building” which I can totally understand. According to the information from their website, they “started their business since there was no authentic shiruko-ya, a […]
The Glass Onion
Around the Christmas holiday season, we went to The Glass Onion in Cape Cod for dinner. It was a cozy restaurant, smaller than I thought it would be. The inside was relaxing atmosphere with earthy tone. They had a fully stocked bar near the entrance. Since we had a reservation, and it was not busy […]
Thyme Bar
We have been to Patisserie Chanson a few times, and to the Dessert Bar (CLOSED) below a few years ago. The space that used to be occupied by the Dessert Bar is now a hidden, a cocktail speakeasy lounge! While my family was here, I decided to take them there. There was a somewhat not-noticeable […]
Riverpark
I am back at writing about the places we dined several months ago… Better late than never! I found this spot called Riverpark while I was looking for a nice restaurant with a view of the river. I thought my mother and my niece will enjoy it. The location was not as easy to access, […]

Olio e Piú – 2023
Ever since we first visited Olio e Piú in 2017, we’ve become a massive fan of the restaurant. We returned again shortly after, and the experience was as great as the first time. When my family was visiting, I thought they would love this spot too. So on a rainy day, we headed over for […]
Bathtub Gin
If you read many of my posts, you know I absolutely love Speakeasy spots. We recently went to this fun place called Bathtub Gin in Chelsea. When you get to the address, you see Stone Street coffee shop, already closed for the day. But guess what, comes the magic hour, a staff will come out […]
Elsie Rooftop
There are so many great rooftop spots in NYC, I have been to a few, such as Sushi Lab Rooftop and Hotel Chantelle, and had a really nice time! This time, I found this spot called Elsie Rooftop for a Bottomless Brunch. I usually stay away from bottomless places, since they tend to water down […]
