When you are traveling by air, it is always good to have access to an airport lounge to relax before or after the flight. And, in most cases, you do get free food and drinks. While traveling to Seattle, we used the Wingtips Lounge at JFK. It is open 24 hours which is great, but […]
Every year during the Holiday season, we go visit several of the holiday markets around Manhattan to look for gifts for family and friends. And yes, for ourselves too… I think the holiday market at Bryant Park, Bank of America Winter Village, is one of the largest, and one of the most visually stunning one […]

Tasting Collective is a dining club for food lovers, and they offer brunch and dinner […]
One of my favorite dish is Croque Madame. I’ve had my share of Croque Madame, some good, some not-so-good, and some amazing. With that, this spot naturally caught my eyes. The space right at the entry is rather small, with a large staircase taking up much of the space. There is an ordering counter to […]
On one chilly evening, we were walking around East Village, and walked passed this curious spot. It seems that they were specializing in marshmallows? Hmmm, we do love good marshmallows… Especially if it is topped on a good hot chocolate. And guess what? They were offering hot chocolate! So we decided to get some hot […]
We were lucky enough to attend a very interesting event called Food Loves Tech. It is a “first-of-its-kind education by entertainment innovation expo, focusing on how technology shapes and changes the way we cultivate and consume food.” Yes, it is all about food of the future! It is not all about technology-related products, but also introducing […]
On a chilly day, a bowl or ramen, soup, or donburi sounds good. Now, I have added another item to that list. Clay pot dish! We visited Clay Pot NYC in their East Village location. They are still relatively new (opened early 2018), but their popularity shows they are doing very well! A few steps […]
We were lucky enough to get invited to a pre-opening event at Nutella Cafe, two days before their official opening day. I love Nutella, especially on some nice warm crepe…oh the joy of great desserts! Naturally to us dessert lovers, we were very excited for this event! Nutella Cafe will officially open on November 14, […]
We are always excited to visit a new restaurant in the city. We found one that looked pretty nice, so we checked it out for brunch. The wall facing the street was covered with windows, from floor to ceiling, bringing in lots of natural light. The inside was long and narrow and long, clean lines […]
One day we were looking for a lunch spot in UWS, and we found this place called Maison Pickle. Even though it had red façade, the front entrance was rather small and unassuming. I liked the retro-chic design, it was intriguing. It had a small outdoor seating by the entrance. As soon as we walked […]
