My favorite drink of all above is a good cup of tea. Any tea, really. Green, black, oolong, rooibos, white, herbal…name it, I love them all. Recently, I discovered a bit fancy store specializes in tea from all over the world: Harney & Sons. Their teas are served at The Plaza, so yeah, they are […]
Le Chéile is an eclectic restaurant with an Irish theme, and serves many kinds of beers and pub grub & American dishes.

They always has pretty flowers […]
There are a few dine-in movie theaters around, but not all of them offers quality food, and interesting concept on top of that. So, if you want experience a good, classic movie with amazing food, I say this place really got it.

I assume there is not a single Japanese working here, but they try to over-compensate with decoration and also, getting the hostess to dress in cotton Summer kimono. Even though they are not authentic, […]
One of the well known and popular Macaron shop in NYC. I like the fact that there are several locations, and the macaron size is bigger than most other places. Their macarons are naturally gluten free, Kosher certified, and hand-made in NYC. They also offer sandwich, salad, and few other items other than macaron. We went […]
