If you are a serious fan of Diner experience or comfort food, then you must head to where it all began: Worcester, MA. The history has it that the first diner was in a form of horse-pulled wagon from 1872 in Rhode Island, but the actual commercial production of lunch wagons began in Worcester, MA […]

Rory Dolan’s Restaurant & Bar
If you really want to soak up the Irish experience during St. Patrick Day celebration (or any other day), then you must head to the border of Bronx and Yonkers, where a Little Ireland resides. This cute neighborhood called Woodlawn is filled with great Irish pubs, bakeries, and gift shops. The street that divide Bronx […]
Bakery La Brioche Café
One of the greatest thing about New York City is that you can get a taste of different country – culture, food, art, etc – right here without getting on a plane. We decided to explore some Russian culture one weekend, and we made sure to get some sweets as well. Actually, getting sweets somehow […]
Mile End Delicatessen
We are fans of Mile End at their Manhattan location. While visiting Brooklyn on one weekend and looking for a brunch spot, we happily discovered that we are nearby their Brooklyn location. We head over to the delicatessen right away. The exterior was very modern, sleek, and clean look to it. No extra fancy decoration, […]
M. Wells Dinette at MoMA PS1
It is true that New York City offers so many different types of cuisine from all over the world. The same can be said about art in the city. There are all different types of art, from classic to modern, paintings to sculptures, exhibitions and performance. You can find all of these, right here in […]

One of the joy of my life is to take my mother to different afternoon tea spots in NYC when she comes for a visit. It is such a fun experience, and I have taken other family members, friends, and my husband to some of my favorite spots. Since my mother can’t come for visit […]
Queens Comfort #2
This is the second review of Queens Comfort, our first visit was so exceptionally amazing, we had to go back for more. (You can read my first review here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/queens-comfort/) This is the kind of place where you wish if you lived right next to it, but at the same time, you are glad that […]
Pie in the Sky
Here is another year-around eatery spot in Cape Cod. This one is located just a few minutes walk from the Martha’s Vineyard ferry terminal. They are more of a cafe and bakery, this means that they are open early. In their case, they are open super early (from 5 am!) which is really good if you […]
Eggloo
There is a brand new sweets shop in China Town, Eggloo. They offer “Hong Kong style egg waffles with a modern twist.” Basically, a large scoop of ice cream served on a soft waffle instead of in a waffle cone. They are having a big, Grand Opening on Feb 13th and 14th, and celebrating it with […]
