When we first visited this adorable and super awesome Speakeasy, The Little Shop for the first time, we absolutely loved it! So, when my mother and my niece were visiting us in September 2022, we decided to take them there. They were of course a bit confused when we took them to a small grocery […]

Hotel Chantelle
Ever since we first visited Hotel Chantelle in 2016, we became fans of this spot. We especially love their rooftop dining. It has such fun and cute Parisian feel to it. We thought my mother and my niece would also really like this place, so we brought them for an early brunch in September 2022. […]
Dowling’s at The Carlyle
One of the fine dining places I took my mother and niece was the gorgeous Dowling’s at The Carlyle. They have several dining room options at The Carlyle, all beautifully decorated and unique on its own way, making the decision difficult. I went with the Dowling’s at The Carlyle since we needed the real lunch […]
Boqueria
This is one of the restaurants I selected when my mother and niece was visiting us here in NYC in September 2022. I was looking for a restaurant near the theater district, but not one of those tourist trap type places. The menu at Boqueria looked enticing, and it was close enough to the theater […]
Steak Frites Bistro
Since the pandemic, we haven’t really had the opportunity to take an advantage off of the Restaurant Week promotions. This winter, we finally got to try the Restaurant Week menu at Steak Frites Bistro. They offer bistro cuisine such as oysters, escargot, onion soup, and of course, steak frites. As soon as you step inside, […]
Ruby’s Cafe
We went to have a brunch at one of the Ruby’s Cafe at Soho location last summer. Yes, I am still catching up from last year… They don’t take reservation, and so there might be a little wait when you go there during the peak time. The SoHo location is the only spot we’ve visited, […]
Emily
I have many loves when it comes to food. One of which is a good burger. For that reason, Emily has been on my radar for a long time. You might think that they are more of a pizzeria, and yes, they do offer pizza, and obviously pizza loves Emily according to their cute neon […]
Alimama Tea
Since we love good Cream Puffs, this spot has been on my radar for a while… We finally got to check it out! It is a small spot, with an outdoor eating area right in front. The artwork on the outdoor eating area was colorful, really cute and comical. The inside was equipped with several […]
Çka ka Qëllu
We recently went to Çka ka Qëllu, a rustic restaurant offering modern Albanian and Kosovan dishes. I knew they had Bronx location, which seems to be even more authentic when it comes to the interior and atmosphere. But then again, the NYC location is easier to get to, so we tried the NYC location. The […]
