The new Eataly location opened up in the Summer of 2015. I waited for a while before I visited, since I assumed it will be crazy crowded with everyone checking it out. I finally went for a visit during the Winter, on a weekday. It was cold and a bit rainy, so the Eataly was […]
Another great spot we got to visit during the Restaurant Week Summer 2016 was The Leopard at des Artistes. We went for a weekend Brunch. It is located nearby Lincoln Center, nice quiet area. It had scaffolding right on that building, so we could not fully appreciate the beautiful architecture design on the building. However, […]
New York City is filled with pizza everywhere. You can find $1 slice pizza almost at every corner. But, if you are looking for a high quality, unique, and/or super delicious pizza, that is a different story. For these, you really need to look deep.

A cute, casual, Italian-Sardinian cafe in Upper West Side. They have nice, high ceiling, red brick wall, and outdoor seating, serving housemade pasta and other delicious dishes at affordable price. The staff there is very friendly, and provide good service most of the time. We went there on Sunday night with rather large group […]
Located inside the Wyndham Hotel, this casual Italian restaurant with very bright and open space welcomes you. Interior is simple with pop of vivid colors, and they have pretty good lunch specials. We went for a lunch on a weekday, so there were lots of open tables. I feel like this is one of the […]

It is one of the locals’ favorite spots in the neighborhood. It is cozy and everyone is friendly, and it even has a fireplace all the way in the back. They will […]
