One of the spot that I found during my research was also one of the recommended spots by locals. It is located at the CityScape, on the upper level. They have both stairs and escalators from the sidewalk. The main lobby area seems to be sharing space with the hotel right next door, Kimpton Hotel Palomar […]
We went for a tasty event at this spot, which just opened earlier this year. We enjoy some good dim sum every once in a while, especially dumplings. This event included demonstration on how the soup dumplings were made. How fun! Their sign says “Shanghai Street Foods” but since I have never been to Shanghai, […]
Trying to stay healthy during my business travel, I looked for a juice spot that offers pressed juice. This place came up with a great review, so I went to check them out. This place can get really crowded really fast, based on what time of the day you go. The inside was much larger […]
Before I knew how big of a chain this restaurant is, I went to visit one in Texas. Then, I found out they have locations in over 25 States, including NYC! This restaurant never really came up on my radar until I visit Fort Worth, TX… The interior was large and spacious, with lots of […]
We went to this spot for a tasty event. This restaurant was not under my radar, so it was good to discover a new spot. It had a simple, modern exterior, nothing too fancy but elegantly done. The first area at the entrance is more lounge-type dining set up, with a bar next to it. […]
A good breakfast spot that opens early is not as easy to find as it should be…but I successfully found a good spot here in Phoenix, Arizona. I first wondered if this is some kind of exclusive restaurant, as it is called “Breakfast Club” but I believe it is for any breakfast lovers. Thank you! […]
There is something about speakeasy that is so sexy and attractive…maybe it is the secrecy, or the mysteriousness of it, or just a simple joy of discovering a hidden gem. We enjoyed our dinner at an izakaya-style speakeasy in Philly called Royal Izayaka (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/royal-izakaya/). Then, we found another pretty […]
While we were traveling in Philadelphia, we saw this interesting sign hanging outside a red brick building. After a quick research, we found out this is a very unique restaurant. It comes with rich history, the building was commissioned as the City Tavern around 1773. What I thought was really cool was that in July […]
As a dessert lover, I have always been curious about this dessert festival, Dessert Goals. I didn’t get to purchase the ticket last year before all the ticket got sold out within minutes…so, this year, I was ready and I got the tickets! Also, they doubled up on their tickets, which helped as well. I […]
There is something exciting about a pop-up restaurant that is only going to be available for a short time. We found a Japanese pop-up restaurant from Tokyo called Shinsuke, taking over Kajitsu restaurant for a short time. After learning a bit about Shinsuke, we got very curious and decided to go. We made it on […]
