This was the second Tasting Collective event that we attended. After the wonderful event at Win Son (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/win-son/), we were excited to go to this event. F.O.B stands for Fresh Off the Boat, and is a Filipino BBQ restaurant. Tasting Collective is a dining club for food lovers, and they […]
I really enjoy dine-in theater, especially if it is a unique theater or dining spot. So far, Nitehawk and iPic Theater are my top favorites (you can read about Nitehawk posts here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/nitehawk-cinema/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/nitehawk-cinema-2/ and about iPic posts here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/ipic-theater-hudson-lights/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/ipic-theater-hudson-lights-2/). I have been waiting for this new theater, Alamo to complete construction and open up in Brooklyn for a […]
At the beginning of this year, to improve and expand our dining experience further, I joined one of the dinner clubs in New York City, “Tasting Collective.” There are several members-only dining clubs out there, but I think this one is the best one, for its value and perks. Tasting Collective is a dining club […]
Museum is a great place to get some education, relaxation, and appreciation of the arts. But, when a museum is about food and drink, it can get to the whole another level of education and fun! I have been waiting for such museum for…well, forever! So, I was so happy when this one opened up […]
As we browsed through the Russian restaurant options in Brighton Beach, we made our decision on this small restaurant on Brighton Beach Avenue. They didn’t look flashy, and had no obnoxious “only for tourists” vibe (expensive bad food) to it. We didn’t want to go to a tourists spot, but where actual locals (Russians, Ukrainians, […]
One of the greatest thing about New York City is that you can get a taste of different country – culture, food, art, etc – right here without getting on a plane. We decided to explore some Russian culture one weekend, and we made sure to get some sweets as well. Actually, getting sweets somehow […]
We are fans of Mile End at their Manhattan location. While visiting Brooklyn on one weekend and looking for a brunch spot, we happily discovered that we are nearby their Brooklyn location. We head over to the delicatessen right away. The exterior was very modern, sleek, and clean look to it. No extra fancy decoration, […]
One thing I look forward to on weekends (other than fun plans and a little R&R) is the brunch. I feel that the brunch time brings such a nice, relaxing time to have a good breakfast items from nice restaurants. Thinking about brunch makes me smile for some reason. It is such warm, cozy feeling, […]
I like desserts, and I love really awesome desserts. So, I am always looking for a good dessert spots. I first visited Little Cupcake Bakeshop several years ago, at their Manhattan location. I remember the cheese cake was really good, and I remember it was pretty busy. I have been to the Manhattan location a […]
If you are thinking of dieting or losing weight, or simply wanting to be healthy for the new year, doing a juice cleanse can be a good way to jump start. I usually do juice cleanse once or twice a year, and I have been relying on Jus by Julie since the very beginning. There […]
