Bronx Zoo does not have a great food option (in my opinion) from my experience (read my review at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dancing-crane-cafe-bronx-zoo/). However, there is still a fun treat you can find at the Zoo. Yes, there is always hope! The hope started with the sign that said “Roast Your Own! Smores & Marshmallows.” There were large […]
There are 2 Katsu-Hama locations in NYC, one on 47th and another one on 55th. I have been to both locations, and I do feel and believe the one on 47th is more “traditional” with interior decoration, service, and the staff who works there (Japanese staff). Most of the basic offerings are the same, but […]
One thing I love the most of Japan is their food (Ok, after my family and friends). Especially, their sweets are really excellent! From the way they create the sweets in such pretty, artistic way, to the flavor of each items, it always surprised me with great joy. I wanted to share some of the […]
Visiting a farmers market is always fun, you get to see/buy fresh veggies, fruits, flowers, drinks, etc., etc. Even if you don’t buy anything, it is fun to walk around the farmers market (to me). We visited the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, right behind the Ferry Plaza for some lunch and sweets. There are some […]
It is always fun to go to a zoo, look at all kinds of bears, lions, birds, snakes… Bronx has a pretty large zoo, very close to the Bronx Botanical Garden, which is another great place to visit, especially during the holidays. However, these types of recreational or family activity spots don’t always have a […]
Pronto is one of a chain eatery in Japan with an interesting concept (to me). They are cafe, restaurant, and bar (Izakaya). It seems like they change their face depends on the time of the day/night, according to what people would want. What a creative and awesome concept it that? If you go there during […]
Korean BBQ is always a great choice for lunch and/0r dinner. BBQ itself is fun, but being able to do so at the table with your family and friends while you eat can be even more fun. One thing that Korean BBQ can offer that is different from others (I think) is the way they […]
When you want to get together with bunch of friends in Japan, over some beer or other kinds of drinks, then I say you should find a nice Izakaya. It is a type of Japanese pub, with lots of drink choices and yummy dishes to share. We got together with some awesome friends in Shimbashi, […]
One of the most famous burger chain in the USA is IN-N-OUT Burger, no doubt about it. Unfortunately, they are not available on the East coast, so every time I traveled to the West coast, I wanted to go to one of their IN-N-OUT locations, but never worked out… So, when I finally got to […]
They call it the “best Japanese crepe in NYC.” However, it is not clear if they originally came from Japan. The owner is not Japanese, so I believe they took the concept of Japanese crepe, and brought it to NYC. It seems that Japanese crepes have become a bit popular in NYC, there are few […]
