We had a lovely double date with a lovely couple. The plan came sudden, and finding a table for four on a weekend, that is nice and quiet could be a challenge in the city. But, I do have some research skills, especially when it comes to food and restaurant… So, I found this location […]
WE went to an event at a pizza eatery, just when I was having cravings for pizza. Perfect timing! This place opened up little over a year ago. There are infinite numbers of pizzeria in NYC, so they gotta bring some kind of special kind of pizza to stand out of the crowd… I was […]
We have been to the Soba Noodle Azuma in NJ, and then found this spot in NYC. They seem to be a sister restaurant, since they share pretty much identical menu. We decided to check it out one day for lunch. It was still a bit early, before the lunch rush, so it was nice […]

This spot has been on my radar for a while, with their comfort food like burger and shakes. One weekend, we were nearby and looking for a place to eat, so we decided to check this place out. The first thing we saw was their nice, large bar. They offer beer, wine and cocktails. The […]
The last eatery we tried while vising the “other CIA,” Culinary Institute of America was the Bocuse Restaurant. (You can read about the other eateries here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/apple-pie-bakery-cafe/ and here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/american-bounty-restaurant/ ) This one is an upscale eatery, offering contemporary French cuisine. It is named after one of the most famous chef in France, Paul Bocuse. Just as […]
During our fun and delicious visit to “the other CIA” – The Culinary Institute of America – we went to have lunch at this restaurant. The first place we tried out for a small breakfast (a.k.a. dessert), Apple Pie Bakery Café was quite good (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/apple-pie-bakery-cafe/ ), but we needed real food after […]
Everyone knows what CIA is, but do you know there is a place called “The Other CIA”??? It stands for The Culinary Institute of America, and it is an American private college and culinary school specializing in culinary, baking, and pastry arts education. The great thing is, you don’t have to be a student or teacher […]
This is a little unique one since not everyone can get access to it. But, if you are a graduate student, postdoctoral researcher, or specific faculty – or you know someone who is one of these – then you are in luck. This is one of the several cafe spots at the main Columbia University […]
I found another interesting spot for afternoon tea, and what’s more exciting, it is a speakeasy afternoon tea spot! The entrance is through The Burgary which is a burger place. I didn’t really do my research on this before I went, so I didn’t know how to get in… I was ringing the doorbell to […]
