The People’s Kitchen of The Citizen

May 4, 2017May 3, 2017 Food Lover Girl

I have gotten so good at finding a really nice restaurant wherever I go, sometimes people look forward to dining with us. On this day, I found a relatively new restaurant (well, the former dining room is kind of new) called The People’s Kitchen, attached to a “wine, cheese, and chocolate bar” called The Citizen. […]

Hanamizuki Café

May 2, 2017April 29, 2017 Food Lover Girl

I have been wanting to try the cute Japanese lunch set from Hanamizuki Café for a while. I finally got the chance to visit over the weekend. It is a cute little spot, with simple while exterior and menu displayed on a wooden crate-looking sign. Having some green against it made it extra inviting. The inside […]

Simpsons Fast Food Blvd

When you are visiting Springfield at Universal Studio, you must listen to Homer Simpson, who says “You don’t win friends with salad.” Unless your friend is a vegetarian or vegan, I kind of agree with him. Inside the Springfield, they have rides, games, funny statues, stores, and yes, eateries. They have a quick-service or […]

Lilly’s Craft and Kitchen

We were looking for a brunch spot near Javits Convention Center. We actually walked over to another place that was just a few blocks away, opened much earlier in the morning. But, when we got there, there was a crowed of people waiting for their seat outside the door, so we decided to go somewhere […]

Lakeside Bar & Grille

It is always interesting to find a restaurant that is popular among the locals. That should mean good food at good price, or at least I think that is the secret recipe for local’s choice. We found one here called Lakeside Bar & Grille. It is a local sports bar, and while we were there, […]

LB’s Bistro & Pâtisserie

April 13, 2017April 20, 2017 Food Lover Girl

Most big hotels have more than one restaurants to offer a few dining options to their patrons. When I stayed at Sheraton Grand Chicago, I was glad to find more than one restaurants in the hotel. I dined at Shula’s Steak House (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/shulas-steak-house/) for dinner at the hotel, and then […]

Mitsuwa Marketplace

April 11, 2017April 11, 2017 Food Lover Girl

One thing I like to live close to, other than great restaurants, is a nice Asian supermarket. If that supermarket holds awesome Asian food court, even better. Here at Mitsuwa, it is a perfect match. They have lots and lots of Asian groceries, with emphasis on Japanese food, and yes, food court, also with emphasis […]

Shula’s Steak House

When you are traveling, and have a really tight schedule, you don’t always have time to look for a new, exciting places to eat. Even if you have the time to look up a few places, you might not have the time to actually go to one. In this case, what you wish for is […]
