I came across this restaurant without looking for it. Sometimes, you find something really good only when you are not looking for it…and lots of times, it turns out to be the best thing ever. I was hoping for this kind of outcome when we decided to go check it out. It is located at […]
I went for a nice business dinner a couple of months ago in New Jersey. It is in a restaurant offering contemporary American fare with Italian influences. The “Water” part of the name comes from the fact that it is located by a lake, with a beautiful view of the water. The inside was quite […]
At the beginning of this year, to improve and expand our dining experience further, I joined one of the dinner clubs in New York City, “Tasting Collective.” There are several members-only dining clubs out there, but I think this one is the best one, for its value and perks. Tasting Collective is a dining club […]
This is my second review of the iPic theater. (You can read my first review here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/ipic-theater-hudson-lights/). We again went there on a weekend, in a morning. I love how empty they are during the morning shows! This one was in a smaller theater, with only four rows of seats. Other than the number of […]
After we visited one bakery in Chinatown called Lung Moon Bakery (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/lung-moon-bakery/), we got curious enough to check out more bakery in that area. We found one called Kam Hing Coffee Shop that is famous for their sponge cakes. I was thinking “Really? Just sponge cakes?” But then again, […]
When you can’t go all the way downtown for a great, unique Thai food at Uncle Boons (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/uncle-boons/), you still find another Thai restaurant that serves more than boring, brown dishes elsewhere. In Upper West Side, Thai Market is one of the most popular spot for Thai food options. […]
Since their soft opening few weeks ago, we have been going to this lovely café almost every weekend. (You can read about my first visit here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/rue-la-rue-cafe/). Instead of having so many updates, I decided to combine the last several visits into one. It has constantly being really busy, with its fun theme, good food […]
Once again, I returned to my favorite Italian restaurant in New York, Enoteca Maria with my mother and my husband (You can read about my previous post here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/enoteca-maria/). I discovered this lovely, wonderful restaurant almost 10 years ago, and I fell in love with everything that this restaurant had to offer; food, atmosphere, service, and […]
When I think of Chinatown in New York and the food that they offer, the word that come to my head is “affordable.” This is not just the restaurant or grocery stores, but also includes bakeries. We ventured out to a local bakery in Chinatown called Lung Moon Bakery in a midst of (heavy) snow, […]
When you think of “Thai food” here in the US, most of us would think “Pad Thai” or “Pad See Ew” or some kind of noodle or rice dish. Most of them brown with typical sauce that they put on it. Sadly, most of us have become so numb to the typical offerings that we […]
