We have been to their Speakeasy a year ago (which I need to write about it soon), but we haven’t had the chance to visit their restaurant until now. KEI (Izakaya and Ramen) offers Izakaya dishes, ramen, and other Japanese dishes. We went off hours so it was not busy, but this place can get […]

Peak with Priceless
Still catching up from a while ago… We went to the Peak with Priceless Restaurant & Bar for Thanksgiving celebration. If you are wondering where the part “priceless” comes from, it is from partnership with MasterCard. If you book via MasterCard, you get some perks. It is located on the 101st floor, and most of […]
Sukemasa Coffee
When we were in Tokyo, I wanted to go to this really cool, intriguing coffee shop called Sukemasa Coffee. It was a bit hidden in a peaceful spot, behind a busy street of Asakusa, right by Hanayashiki amusement park. Their photos looked really interesting, and I was very curious to check them out. We first […]
BKK New York
This spot called BKK New York opened in Spring of 2025. We got to visit about a year from the opening to try their Bangkok dishes. When you walk in, you see a rather large bar, fully stacked, then table seating going all the way to the back. It is kind of narrow and long […]
Sesamo
I am so behind on writing about all the places I have been to in the last year or so… But still want to spread the words on the great dining places we visited, so here we go! We discovered this gem of a restaurant last fall, called Sesamo, offering Italian-leaning dishes. We were going […]
Sweet Chick
I have been interested in this spot for a while, and we finally got to visit their Union Square location! It is set up like a regular fast-food joint, with order/pick up counter, and table seating. Not so big, but had enough seating. Since it is a fast-food restaurant, the turnover is quick. The interior […]
Penny Jo’s
I can’t believe how long it’s been taking to write about Penny Jo’s… I am really backed up with the places! We found Penny Jo’s when we were looking for some happy hour spots. Sadly, Penny Jo’s no longer offers happy hour specials, but we were still interested to go since their menu looked enticing. […]

Sarabeth’s
Sarabeth’s is one of the popular brunch spots in NYC, yet, I have never dined at any of Sarabeth’s location. Since it is also a popular tourist destination, we decided to finally go check it out at their Park Avenue location. There was a host/hostess section at the entrance, with a large waiting area. It […]
