I get cravings for good Japanese or Japanese-esque food when I am traveling. While I was in Boston, I looked for a good Japanese type restaurant, and this one seemed the most interesting to me. I as started to walk towards the location of the restaurant, I realized I was walking into China town. So, […]
In New York, there is always something new to do and see, and new shops and restaurants opening up all the time. That also means that some shops and restaurants are closing very often too. It is a tough city to make it… But then again, there are some unique spots that opens for a […]
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.” […]

We decided to get there little before they open for the evening, and they already had some people lined up in […]
One thing I discovered while in Austin was that they have a good number of speakeasy bars. Since I love going to speakeasy bars, I really wanted to visit them all! But with this being a short business trip, I only managed to visit just one… This one is inside a hostel called The Firehouse […]
One evening during my business trip, we were going to have a big group dinner. It was going to be total of 12 people, so I thought it was going to be a challenge to get a reservation for party of 12. Luckily, the restaurant of our choice was large enough to accommodate a reservation […]

I decided to try Phillips Seafood since […]
