One of the fun things to do in NYC during the holiday season is to go visit New York Botanical Garden. Why go to a botanical garden in a cold Winter? Well, they might not have all sorts of flowers blooming there, and their trees might not be full. So, what do they have? An […]
I was first introduced to tasty beer from Bronx Brewery at a super fun event called The Brew Hop 5K (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/the-brew-hop-5k/). At that time, we were encouraged to visit the brewery by our friend. It has been a several months since then, but we eventually got there! It was situated […]
I have had my eye on this place ever since I heard about them having some scrumptious fried chicken. I went for a visit during holiday season. Fried chicken and cold weather goes really well together, don’t you think? It was easy to spot, as it was colorful and vivid, without being too “loud”. The […]
One thing you might want to check out when you are staying at a hotel is there breakfast offering and quality. Not everyone has a really good breakfast that suits most everyone staying there. During the Thanksgiving holidays, I got to have a full continental breakfast at Hilton Midtown. They have Herb N’ Kitchen located […]
After visiting this lovely spot the first time, I did promise myself that I will go back again and again for more of their delicious treats…(you can read more about my first visit here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dominique-ansel-kitchen/) And since my mother was visiting, I thought why not introduce her to this delightful place! As we had a […]
Since my mother was coming for a visit during Thanksgiving holiday, I looked for an afternoon place that we haven’t been to. Then, I found a coupon for this spot called The House in Gramercy. We both like Gramercy, and with its interesting history behind it, I was very intrigued. Then, I found a coupon […]
I have been a fan of Cinnamon Snail for a while now. Even though I am not vegetarian or vegan, I know good food when I see it (more like when I taste it). I visited them when they only had operations out of a food truck, and then when they opened up a permanent […]
Another great Harry Potter-themed restaurant we visited during our vacation in Orlando was the Leaky Cauldron. If you are a fan of Harry Potter, then you know it is a popular pub and inn among wizards, located somewhere in London. It is also the entrance to Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley. And guess what? This […]
I visited this restaurant/lounge for a fun event. It is a place more known for night life, with belly dancers and good drinks. It was decorated inside and out for the Holiday season, very festive! Our event was upstairs, so I didn’t get to see the main floor. There was a small middle-level floor with […]
It is not always easy find a good restaurant that is open during holidays, with reasonable pricing. We needed a restaurant that offers good food at reasonable price on Thanksgiving day, and although there were several restaurants who were open with special Thanksgiving menu, they were either booked or the Prix Fixe menu was very […]
