I have been wanting to go to Inakaya ever since they opened up in Manhattan in 2009. But, I heard that are kind of pricey, so I have not had made my way there… then, the Restaurant Week came and saved the day. It is always good to try these expensive restaurant during restaurant week. […]

Rue La Rue Café – CLOSED
I have been patiently waiting for this café to open up since last Fall. Today, I finally got to visit them during their Soft Opening period. I am still not sure when the hard opening would be, but for as long as I got to go in, who cares when the hard opening is, right? […]
Orwasher’s Bakery
When I heard about an old fashion bakery with 100 years of history, I had to many my trip up to Upper East Side. It is called the Orwasher’s, and was founded in 1916! A Hungarian immigrant family started the bakery for the immigrant community, and has been passed on from generation to generation of […]
Socarrat Paella Bar @ Chelsea
I love Spanish food, especially Tapas and Paella. And guess what, so does my hubby and my mother. While my mother was visiting us, she wanted to get some good paella. Who can blame her? There has been this Paella Bar that I have been wanting to go to, so we decided to go during […]
Gingerbread House Kit @ Costco
Yes the Christmas season is over. But, maybe this could be helpful for the next Holiday season! In 2015, we bought a gingerbread house kit from IKEA. It was around $10, and the box came with pre-cut gingerbread that you had to put together. I have never tried to build a gingerbread house before, so […]
Café Sabarsky #2
The last time and the first timer we visited Café Sabarsky, we totally loved the experience (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/cafe-sabarsky/). We knew it wouldn’t be too long before we will be returning for more. This time, we brought our family so that we can share the joy. And, they also wanted to visit […]
Lady M Confection Boutiques @ WTC
I have been a fan of Lady M for a while. The only issue is that they are super popular, and not very large space. Therefore, it naturally creates long line and very crowded space. Luckily, I found another location, inside World Trade Center Tower 4, beneath the new Eataly. It located on the street […]
Eataly NYC Downtown
The new Eataly location opened up in the Summer of 2015. I waited for a while before I visited, since I assumed it will be crazy crowded with everyone checking it out. I finally went for a visit during the Winter, on a weekday. It was cold and a bit rainy, so the Eataly was […]
Dominique Ansel Kitchen #2
After visiting this lovely spot the first time, I did promise myself that I will go back again and again for more of their delicious treats…(you can read more about my first visit here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dominique-ansel-kitchen/) And since my mother was visiting, I thought why not introduce her to this delightful place! As we had a […]
The House
Since my mother was coming for a visit during Thanksgiving holiday, I looked for an afternoon place that we haven’t been to. Then, I found a coupon for this spot called The House in Gramercy. We both like Gramercy, and with its interesting history behind it, I was very intrigued. Then, I found a coupon […]
