I have been wanting to go to an Indian buffet, and there are many restaurants that offers just that, but I wanted to find a one with high review. During my research, I came across this restaurant Chola, which seem to have a pretty good rating. The exterior is surprisingly modern, and it looked kind […]
I love finding a local hidden gem, so hidden that some of the other locals might not know about! This popular spot is hiding behind a Dairy Queen, and has that very cozy, friendly, home-y feel to it. A great spot for breakfast and brunch, especially if you like those home cooked or diner-like food […]
This place has been on my radar for a while, and after attending a fun event in Lower East Side, we decided to head over for dinner. It didn’t have a large, visible sign, but instead, it had an intricate metal sign. It brought out antique feel to it, I liked the old-fashion style. They […]
I love sweets and I do have a weakness for doughnut, as most of people I know. I hate it when people post a beautiful photos of super yummy looking doughnuts, and then I see that the store is somewhere really far away… When I first heard about Doughnut Plant few years ago, I was […]
We met up for lunch with one of our friends who has been a New Yorker for almost 90 years. When we asked about a good Indian restaurant in his neighborhood, this is where he recommended. When a foodie who is nearly three times your age recommends a restaurant, you trust it! So, off we […]
We went to a grand opening of the Grand Bazaar NYC, weekly market located on the Upper West Side. The great thing about this market is that the profits from the market donates 100% of its net revenue to four neighborhood public schools, benefiting over 4,000 children by providing them with art enrichment programs, books, supplies, […]
This is the second review of this sweet spot (you can read my first review here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/chocnyc/), we had to go back get some more sweet goodness. This time, I was going for their eclairs. They looked glittery gold sweet jewel in the refrigerated show window. We chose Pistachio and Chocolate Éclair ($3.75/each) to go so […]
It is always interesting to visit “the oldest” establishment, such as restaurant. I feel like they either stay completely authentic, or become a tourist spot, losing its authenticity. I found one of those “oldest” kind, the oldest French bistro in the Theatre District. It was founded in 1948, and still owned and managed by the […]
While I was doing some extra research on Cape Cod for a colleague who was going to visit for the first time, I found a hidden gem for myself as well. I always enjoyed visiting wineries and vineyards, and trying some of their wines. I found a lovely winery in Upper Cape, called Cape Cod […]
One of the most interesting movies I’ve watched is called Amélie. It is such a cute, strange, adorable and weird story and characters! Well, I found a restaurant called Amélie, which is a modern wine bar/lounge with French flair. The inside decoration was…well, unique. It had white cloth loosely hanging on the black-colored ceiling, with bright red […]
