This is my second review of Saggio. (You can see my first review at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/saggio/) This place was so warm and tasty that we went back for more. They have hand-written special menu of the day, addition to their regular menu. What they offer on the special menu of the day is almost always recommended […]

Jacques Torres Chocolate
I love chocolate. I don’t understand the ones who say otherwise. How can you not love chocolate, am I right? A pastry chef, Jacques Torres, started a chocolate store in Brooklyn, where everything is made from scratch. It is one of my favorite “local” chocolate here in NYC. From all the cute and tasty little […]
Pronto Shimbashi Station
Pronto is one of a chain eatery in Japan with an interesting concept (to me). They are cafe, restaurant, and bar (Izakaya). It seems like they change their face depends on the time of the day/night, according to what people would want. What a creative and awesome concept it that? If you go there during […]
Gunbae
Korean BBQ is always a great choice for lunch and/0r dinner. BBQ itself is fun, but being able to do so at the table with your family and friends while you eat can be even more fun. One thing that Korean BBQ can offer that is different from others (I think) is the way they […]
Tsukada Nojo
When you want to get together with bunch of friends in Japan, over some beer or other kinds of drinks, then I say you should find a nice Izakaya. It is a type of Japanese pub, with lots of drink choices and yummy dishes to share. We got together with some awesome friends in Shimbashi, […]
IN-N-OUT Burger
One of the most famous burger chain in the USA is IN-N-OUT Burger, no doubt about it. Unfortunately, they are not available on the East coast, so every time I traveled to the West coast, I wanted to go to one of their IN-N-OUT locations, but never worked out… So, when I finally got to […]
Shake Shack @ UWS
Yes there are several Shake Shack in the city, and each place offers something different. It could be the view, the decor, the service, or a special menu, while getting that yummy food that they offer. At the Shake Shack on Columbus Ave, we were surprised with a really good service. We have been there […]
Nagayamon Cafe at Old Yoshida House
There is always that special hidden gem in each city, in every country. Finding one, that can be a difficult task sometimes, but when you do find it, you can truly appreciate it. In the city if Kashiwa, outside of Tokyo, there is this beautiful, rather large history you can visit, and be able to […]
Bohemian Nishiazabu
Bohemian restaurants are the perfect hide away spots, offering super relaxing atmosphere and very high quality food. They keep their address a secret, you have to be referred by who has been there, or be invited from the restaurant in order to make a reservation. Why? They want this place to be a quiet, peaceful […]
Oskar Blues
Oskar Blues is a down-home tavern with ample selection of American craft beers, serving Cajun-American-style menu. They are quite popular hang-out spot for locals and travelers alike, with enough offering of big beer menu to ensure you will find your old and/or new favorite brew. This place is hard to miss, especially from the highway. […]
