Alice’s Tea Cup is said to be “New York City’s most whimsical tea house” and they might be right. I haven’t been to all the “tea houses” in the city, but they are definitely most whimsical so far. They have 3 locations, and I have been to them all, and Chapter II on East 64th […]
A cute, casual, Italian-Sardinian cafe in Upper West Side. They have nice, high ceiling, red brick wall, and outdoor seating, serving housemade pasta and other delicious dishes at affordable price. The staff there is very friendly, and provide good service most of the time. We went there on Sunday night with rather large group […]
One of the most famous and popular burger joint in New York City, and they are still expanding, inside and outside the city. Once you try one of their burgers, you see why they are popular – their burgers are super tasty, juicy, and made with good ingredients! They have many locations through out the […]
I always enjoyed crepe since I was little. Growing up, I only knew the sweet kinds, but it is great that there are so many different kinds of crepes out there. Especially when you want a light something, but flavorful and not bad for you kind, I always think of crepes, the savory kind. Vive […]
When you need a quick (or relaxing) breakfast early, Le Pain is open from 7am, and has pretty nice menu selection.

If you love desserts, and if you especially love cream puffs, you must try Beard Papa’s in Upper West Side. They are Japanese bakery shop, some say they offer the “World’s Best Cream Puffs” – I might have to agree to that, but you be the judge. They have stores all over in the US […]

Their macarons are naturally gluten free, Kosher certified, and hand-made in NYC. They also offer sandwich, salad, and few other items other than macaron. We went […]
