I first learnt about this place and their product from a sweet friend of mine with a sweet gift. She gave us a box full of artisan chocolates! So, while I was in Boston, I went to check their store and their chocolates. They are located on the upper level of a red brick building, […]
I love finding a new cafe with delectable baked goods and desserts. During my stay in Boston, I found a cafe that quickly became my favorite. I visited Tatte Bakery & Café in Back Bay, super early in the morning. They had nice outdoor seating, but it was not the perfect outdoor day (just yet), […]
Anyone who is a fan of Audrey Hepburn, or Tiffany accessories, then you know about The Blue Box Cafe. And if you didn’t know, yes, you can have “Breakfast at Tiffany” well, that is only if you can get a reservation. Getting a reservation here is so difficult, it took me a while to actually […]
We were visiting Boston during one of the “Free Days” at the Museum of Fine Arts. They had a long line to get in, seems like lots of art lovers were trying to take advantage of the free day. It is a nice, large museum with many different kinds of art pieces from all over […]
This is a hidden gem in Riverdale, New York. A bit far to get there from the center of Manhattan, but it is so worth the trip for a nice, quiet relaxation. It is a 28-acre estate overlooking the Hudson River. The estate has two houses and a botanical garden, but much, much smaller than Brooklyn […]
We like visiting an old diner that has been in business for a long time, with lots of loyal local customers. We found one in Brooklyn when we visited Brooklyn Museum. This diner is family owned operated since 1936! And yes, is quite popular among the locals and alike. We were excited to get some […]
We love it when we find a brand-new spot that just opened up recently. This wine bar opened a few months ago, and since we really enjoy a good glass (or bottle) of wine, we went to check it out. They offer natural wine and genuinely seasonal dining, hence, their menu for both wine and food […]
One of the breakfast place that I really wanted to visit while I was in Boston was Mike & Patty’s. They had photos of super tasty looking sandwiches, and yes, with rave reviews. I finally had the time to visit them right before I had to go back home to NYC. It was at a […]
We were looking for a breakfast spot in the Bay Ridge area in Brooklyn. To my pleasant surprise, they had many great options! Out of all the attractive places, we narrowed it down to this spot. They actually have several locations, all in Brooklyn. They do state that they are “Born & Raised in Brooklyn.” […]
When you are in Boston, you gotta get your hands on some good ole’ Lobstah Roll! And it could be found at so many different places, but most of them were pretty pricey. And, the portion of lobster roll is not that great. After doing some research, I found an old school spot that offers […]
