I love having a brunch burger. Well, I do have a weakness for most burgers… I saw a photo of a tasty burger from Set L.E.S. somewhere, which was totally drool-worthy, so we decided to go check them out for a brunch. We arrived a few minutes before they opened, and there were handful of […]
We visited Vinatería for brunch about a month ago. They offer upscale Italian- and Spanish-influenced dishes. We went there right when they opened, so it was almost empty. They had a large bar right at the entrance, with a real chair instead of bar stool chairs. The inside was actually a bit smaller than I […]
There are plenty Korean bakeries right across the George Washington Bridge, like D’avant Bakery, Blue Angel & Café Bakery, and Café Trois. We traveled just a bit further and found this Korean bakery called La Tabatiere a few months ago. We drove up there one morning. They have a small parking lot right next to […]
When we went to see a movie at Regal Theater next to Essex Market, we decided to check out the market. It used to be a dingy, low-ceiling market called Essex Street Market. It went through a beautiful renovation, and now have more light, more space, and higher ceiling. It had so many shops and […]

It is not always easy to find a restaurant that is open early on weekends. The brunch for many restaurants starts around 11am, but what do you do when you want a real, solid food (not some light pastry) early in the morning while you are out? Luckily for us, we found a restaurant, Madang, […]
Ever since I saw a photo of cute Japanese doughnuts from The Dough Club, I have been wanting to go and try them. They are located in Chinatown, right next to the popular Taiyaki NYC, a Japanese ice cream shop, served in taiyaki, or fish-shaped waffle cone. That makes total sense, since they are both […]
We recently discovered this lovely restaurant Spoon Table & Bar that had tasty-looking brunch offerings. We love brunch, but we went to check them out for dinner instead. The exterior of the restaurant was unassuming, yet very inviting with the warm light flooding out from their floor-to-ceiling window. We were greeted as soon as we […]
Ever since I traveled to Portugal with my mother more than a decade ago, I became a fan of Portuguese food and desserts. One of many great things about living in NYC is that you can get food from all over the world! Some authentic, some fusion, some with a twist, some with creative, modern […]
This restaurant used to be a hidden, kind of a secret spot that wasn’t really known to many people. Well, that was years and years ago… The words have gotten out since then, and it is now a super popular spot to all the foodies around. I still like the feel of hideaway, you don’t […]
