We discovered this cute little pastry shop, where they offer fresh pastries and Mexican food. I was just looking for some afternoon sweets, so the name “Sweet Life Pastry” sounded like a perfect fit. The inside was small, with a few table seating, but seems like not many people actually eat in, so should not have […]
I am always on a lookout for a great dessert spot or bakery that offers amazing sweets. I found one, unique bakery called Crown Bakery & Cafe in MA. They are Scandinavian bakery, offering all sorts of Swedish treats. They have pretty much everything you can think of, from cookies, Petit Fours, cakes, pastries, and tortas. […]
We can find great, delicious, and authentic food in many awesome restaurants around the city, but if you take a closer look elsewhere, you can find unique, amazing food at many other places you might not have thought of before. In my search for an authentic, yummy British Cornish Pasty, I found it, not in […]

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, […]
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 […]
This is my second review of MacarOn Café, different location from the first review. (You can read my first review at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/macaron-cafe/) We went to their 3rd Avenue location for afternoon snack, and also to buy a few of them as a gift to my co-worker friend who told me that she never had macaron before.
