I have been to Hide-Chan a couple of years ago, and had a ramen there. I remember it was good, not sure if it was memorable… Anyways, we decided to go back there one weekend for light lunch. The entrance is not very obvious, so it requires extra attention. When you open the door, you […]
Rory Dolan’s Restaurant & Bar
If you really want to soak up the Irish experience during St. Patrick Day celebration (or any other day), then you must head to the border of Bronx and Yonkers, where a Little Ireland resides. This cute neighborhood called Woodlawn is filled with great Irish pubs, bakeries, and gift shops. The street that divide Bronx […]
Molly’s
As I continued on with my search for traditional/authentic Irish pub and food (you can read my first Irish discovery here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/the-dead-rabbit-grocery-and-grog/), I discovered second interesting spot called Molly’s. They are “pub and shebeen” and was established in 1960, therefore, naturally the most traditional Irish bar in New York. I was very excited to see […]
The Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog
What do you do to get the full appreciation for St. Patrick Day? Go find some Irish places and have some “traditional” Irish food! Thankfully, that is not difficult to do when you live in a wonderful city like NYC. There are several great Irish pubs where they offer Irish food and experience. One of […]
Bakery La Brioche Café
One of the greatest thing about New York City is that you can get a taste of different country – culture, food, art, etc – right here without getting on a plane. We decided to explore some Russian culture one weekend, and we made sure to get some sweets as well. Actually, getting sweets somehow […]
Legal Seafoods
When you are at a shopping mall, you are limited to food options than what is there inside the shopping mall (unless you are willing to leave the mall and go back afterwords). We went to a mall on one weekend, and decided to have lunch there as well. Just as I expected, we had […]
Tampopo Ramen #2
This is my second review of Tampopo Ramen (you can read my first review by going here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/tampopo-ramen/) Since we had such nice food at Tampopo Ramen a few month ago, we decided to go back for some more. We figured that they now had more experience running the restaurant since they opened, so everything […]
Mile End Delicatessen
We are fans of Mile End at their Manhattan location. While visiting Brooklyn on one weekend and looking for a brunch spot, we happily discovered that we are nearby their Brooklyn location. We head over to the delicatessen right away. The exterior was very modern, sleek, and clean look to it. No extra fancy decoration, […]
M. Wells Dinette at MoMA PS1
It is true that New York City offers so many different types of cuisine from all over the world. The same can be said about art in the city. There are all different types of art, from classic to modern, paintings to sculptures, exhibitions and performance. You can find all of these, right here in […]
Umami Burger – Brookfield Place
One of my weakness when it comes to food is burger and fries. I don’t what it is about them, but they always get to me… Among hundreds of burger joints in the city, there are few places that offers really excellent burgers. They might not be “cheap eats” but you will get quality. Umami […]
