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 […]
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 […]

Sushi Lab Rooftop
If you’ve read my blogs enough, you will know my love for Speakeasies, like the The Little Shop and The Honey Well in NYC. There are other Speakeasy type of spots, which are more of a restaurants rather than bars. Sushi Lab Rooftop is kind of a Speakeasy restaurant, as it is a bit hidden […]
OL’DAYS Farm to Table
The concept of farm to table became popular several years ago, and for a good reason! We enjoyed clean, fresh dishes from farm to table restaurants. The recent favorite of them all is The Prince & The Pauper in Vermont. My goodness they were great! We also got to try a great spot in England […]
