I first found this little diner three years ago. I was having lunch on my own at the counter, and the owner, Vicky was there with a friendly smile on a warm, quiet, peaceful day. It was a very memorable visit, because the peacefulness came to an abrupt end when I realized that they are […]
There is something exciting about a pop-up restaurant that is only going to be available for a short time. We found a Japanese pop-up restaurant from Tokyo called Shinsuke, taking over Kajitsu restaurant for a short time. After learning a bit about Shinsuke, we got very curious and decided to go. We made it on […]
This is our second visit to Tanner Smith’s, and we went to very early brunch. Well, what we didn’t realize is that they do “breakfast” and not brunch from 8am – 11am. However, it seems like they were changing out the menu from breakfast menu to brunch menu at 10:30am, around the time we were […]
I was tasked to find a table for three for Friday night in Midtown at the last minute. I was looking for a restaurant in specific area within Midtown, that offers variety of food selection without crazy price tag. And of course, the food had to be good. Yes, this task was not easy, not […]
It is not easy to have a lunch prepared for work everyday, but yet you don’t always have time to go out for lunch. On such days, you can get them delivered, but if you want to think about healthy and tasty meal, the option might be limited… But this is NYC, the city where […]
I didn’t know NYC did country music in Midtown, until I went to a fun event at Opry City Stage. I am not a big fan of country music, but I did spend about a decade of my life in Southern bell state, Georgia. So, I do have appreciation for their music for sure. This […]
I had the opportunity to visit this restaurant for a fun event. I haven’t become a big fan of Mexican food, but I do enjoy high quality, tasty Mexican cuisine. I haven’t heard of this restaurant before, but then again, us New Yorkers tend avoid midtown filled with tourists like a plague sometimes…LOL. And, this […]
After visiting this bakery rich with history last year (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/orwashers-bakery/), I went back again for some more of their delectable doughnuts. The inside is small, with handful of customers, it gets full. When we arrived on a weekend evening, there were handful of customers in there, brought in by the […]
We had such good experience from our first visit to this spot (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/the-uptown-garrison/ ), we decided to go back for more. We arrived about 30 minutes after they opened, and they already had a few people starting off their evening over drinks and food. We ordered a couple of cocktails […]
