I am always looking for a “hidden” restaurant in NYC (or anywhere for that matter). When I found this place, I was very excited to visit them. Their name, Sakagura means a sake warehouse, so they have over 200 kinds of sake there, which is very impressive. They are more of an Izakaya which I […]
I had an opportunity to attend an event held at Harlem Nights, and it was lots of fun. I don’t really venture out to that area, since it is not really easy to get to via subway, but I wanted to check out this new bar-lounge venue. I gotta say, it was pretty easy to […]
Downtown Boulder has good mount of dining options, and if you are looking for an upscale dining, you can find one inside St. Julien Hotel & Spa. It is a beautiful hotel as well, if you are looking for a fancy accommodation. As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed by a huge lobby […]
I am a fan of Starbucks beverage and food, but not a fan of their crowded space. So, when they opened an upscale shop called the “Reserve” where they offer specialty coffee line also named the Reserve in a not-so-crowded area in Chelsea, I was happy to go check it out. Even thought they have […]
One cuisine every town/city needs (in my opinion) is a good barbecue restaurant. Not just any BBQ, but a “good” or preferably “great” BBQ restaurant. It can be a challenge to find a spot that offers finger lickin’ good BBQ, but I have successfully found one in Worcester, MA. It is called Smokestack Urban Barbecue. […]
When you are with a crowed who loves to share all the dishes, then you might just want to find a good Tapas restaurant. They are made to share smaller portion dished, making it easier to taste many different types of food, and of course, make the dinner time more fun! In Worcester, MA, I […]
We discovered this cute little pastry shop, where they offer fresh pastries and Mexican food. I was just looking for some afternoon sweets, so the name “Sweet Life Pastry” sounded like a perfect fit. The inside was small, with a few table seating, but seems like not many people actually eat in, so should not have […]
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, […]
If you really want to soak up the Irish experience during St. Patrick Day celebration (or any other day), then you must head to the border of Bronx and Yonkers, where a Little Ireland resides. This cute neighborhood called Woodlawn is filled with great Irish pubs, bakeries, and gift shops. The street that divide Bronx […]
What do you do to get the full appreciation for St. Patrick Day? Go find some Irish places and have some “traditional” Irish food! Thankfully, that is not difficult to do when you live in a wonderful city like NYC. There are several great Irish pubs where they offer Irish food and experience. One of […]
