We were looking for a place for light dinner one evening, and found this interesting spot. The entrance is down the stairs from the street, almost hidden a bit. The entrance area was marked with a large nautical-looking compass on the ground. The inside felt like you are on some kind of large, old ship. […]

&pizza
There are so many pizza shops in NYC. Ones with history, ones with huge slices, ones with unique toppings…you name it, we have it. We recently visited a pizza shop with an interesting name, “&pizza” (and pizza). They have three locations in NYC, and we went to the newest location on Wall Street. The small […]
“Friends” NYC Pop-Up
It has been 25 years since the first episode of Friends aired on TV, and came into many our lives. To celebrate, they set up a fun pop-up in NYC! We went to the 20th anniversary event too, which was a Central Perk CafĂ© with a looooong line. This time, they had timed tickets! I […]
Zauo – CLOSED
Ever since I heard about the news of this Japanese restaurant opening in NYC, I was so excited to visit and try the unique dining experience this place offers. Just few months before their one year anniversary, I finally got to visit them for the first time! What is so unique about this restaurant? Well, […]
Melt Shop
One of my favorite comfort food is grilled cheese. I love the classic kind with just the cheese, and I love all the creative or fancy kinds too. Luckily for me, there is a shop that offer all sorts of “melts” dishes, like Chicken Melts, Burger Melts, and of course, Grilled Cheese! They have many […]
Whistle & Fizz
I am a fan of delicious tea, especially tea made with loose tea. I also love the aroma of coffee, and enjoy a good cup of joe with my desserts. This spot is all about tasty coffee and tea, with special baristas coming up with interesting concoctions. The inside was long and narrow, with a […]
Dos Toros
I went to a fun and tasty event at one of Dos Toros location in NYC, at 40th and Madison. This location is still relatively new, modern look with clean lines and spacious room. The super high ceiling adds to the spacious feeling, as well as light earth-tone and mirrors, creating more open feel to […]
Convivium Osteria
I am always looking for a new restaurants who serves delicious food. In New York, there is a new restaurant popping up all the time, it is hard to catch them all. Recently, I was invited by this lovely “mom and pop” Italian restaurant to try some of their food in Brooklyn. I love Italian […]
Casa Alitalia Lounge @ JFK
When we traveled with JAL in the past, we used to go to Air France Lounge at JFK. However, it seems like JAL has changed its lounge partner to Casa Alitalia, almost right next to Air France Lounge. We never used Alitalia lounge before, so we were both curious and a bit worried… We were […]
SUROSS Thai Bistro
This spot popped up on my radar, and I have been wanting to try their food… We finally made time to go visit one weekend. The inside was surprisingly small, since I was expecting a full-on “restaurant” type eatery. It seems that most businesses they have are either pick up or delivery. They did have […]
