I love Izakaya, and have been to a few of them in NYC and in Japan. The thing about Izakaya is that they are mostly open for dinner or late night. If they are open during lunch, they have regular lunch menu instead of Izakaya style menu, which is more like tapas, or small plates […]
I am always looking for a “hidden” restaurant in NYC (or anywhere for that matter). When I found this place, I was very excited to visit them. Their name, Sakagura means a sake warehouse, so they have over 200 kinds of sake there, which is very impressive. They are more of an Izakaya which I […]
Downtown Boulder has good mount of dining options, and if you are looking for an upscale dining, you can find one inside St. Julien Hotel & Spa. It is a beautiful hotel as well, if you are looking for a fancy accommodation. As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed by a huge lobby […]
One cuisine every town/city needs (in my opinion) is a good barbecue restaurant. Not just any BBQ, but a “good” or preferably “great” BBQ restaurant. It can be a challenge to find a spot that offers finger lickin’ good BBQ, but I have successfully found one in Worcester, MA. It is called Smokestack Urban Barbecue. […]
When you are with a crowed who loves to share all the dishes, then you might just want to find a good Tapas restaurant. They are made to share smaller portion dished, making it easier to taste many different types of food, and of course, make the dinner time more fun! In Worcester, MA, I […]
When I want some “interesting” sushi, not the authentic kind, I venture out to non-Japanese sushi restaurant. Non-authentic, “exotic” (to me) kinds of sushi can be pretty good, if you find a restaurant with talented sushi chef. I found an interesting sushi restaurant in MA, with a few awards including “Best Sushi Restaurant” in the […]
My favorite cuisine is still Japanese food, and even though I love all sorts of different cuisine from all over the world, I still crave some good Japanese food every now and then if I don’t get to have them for a while. But, it is not always easy to find a good Japanese restaurants, […]
Yes, they get a point already with that clever name. Gotta give it to the British for their witty humor. It is located in the neighborhood that used to be known as “Little Britain” in the Village. If you want to get some authentic British afternoon tea, Fish and Chips, or groceries, this is the […]
When you are at a shopping mall, you are limited to food options than what is there inside the shopping mall (unless you are willing to leave the mall and go back afterwords). We went to a mall on one weekend, and decided to have lunch there as well. Just as I expected, we had […]
No, it is not a hotel. It is a restaurant. Wait, let me rephrase, it is a super cool restaurant, with pretty great food. The reason for the interesting name is that they are named after a French World War II safe house. Therefore, from the outside, you wouldn’t dare think there is a beautiful […]
