As most New Yorkers, I am NOT fans of Times Square, so when I was invited to go to an event at Havana Central in Times Square, I was a bit concerned. The restaurants in Times Square don’t really have good reputation, as they are mainly for tourists (expensive food and not very quality food), […]
There is a brand new sweets shop in China Town, Eggloo. They offer “Hong Kong style egg waffles with a modern twist.” Basically, a large scoop of ice cream served on a soft waffle instead of in a waffle cone. They are having a big, Grand Opening on Feb 13th and 14th, and celebrating it with […]
Great thing about visiting major tourist spots during off season is the peace & quite you get with much less people. The hard part is to find a restaurant that is open year-round, no matter the peak or off-peak season. In Cape Cod, one of the oldest and most loved restaurant by the locals (mainly […]
The benefit to booking economy flight ticket would be the price. The benefit of purchasing (or upgrading to) Premium Economy flight with JAL? The access to their wonderful lounge! This is one of those things where “you didn’t know you needed/wanted it until you found out of the existence of it.” I never had the […]
Sole Proprietor offers seafood, sushi, and raw bar. I visited this spot a few times in the past, and I always had a good experience with food and service. BUT, sometimes, good things end… or, you simply get unlucky. The inside is pretty large, separated into several sections; raw bar, large dining room, and […]
Russian Tea Room is one of the most iconic restaurant in NYC. I have always been curious about them, but didn’t really have had the chance to visit. I decided to take an advantage during the Winter Restaurant Week NYC, and try their Russian cuisine. They were founded by members of the Russian Imperial Ballet in […]
My favorite cuisine is seafood. The fresher, the better. If it is Japanese, even better. So, where can you get such seafood? Right by (or inside) the fish market in Japan! Yes, there are some famous ones out there, but you don’t need to go to the famous (a.k.a. crowded with tourists) fish market super […]
I discovered this restaurant through an event, and boy, it was a great and tasty event! If you are (or were) a fan of Chipotle at any point of your life, this might interest you, as they have very similar concept. After being there once, I fell in love with the place (and the food, of […]
Finding a good food at any airport is always a challenge. Sometimes, you get lucky, but most of the time, you are not getting much of quality or tasty food. Most of us have learned to “settle” for whatever is available at the airport…(you can read my other experiences on airport food at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/custom-burger-newark-airport/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/wolfgang-puck-express/).

One of the most famous quick & cheap eats of NYC is Papaya King. I know there are other “Papaya” guys out there, like Gray’s Papaya Dog (founded by a former partner of Papaya King), and Papaya Dog, but I believe Papaya King is the oldest, and original. The history of this establishment is quite […]
