I have walked by this spot many times, but never actually dined here. Their lovely outdoor seating and exterior is very noticeable, and yes, I was curious. After several years, I finally got the opportunity to dine here. The ambiance of the exterior (to me) was some sort of old European café, with red bricks […]

This is my second review of this Shake Shack location. (You can read about my first review here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/shake-shack-uws/) We went back to this location for a very specific reason: to get their limited time only shakes! Will & Grace-themed shakes!!! They have two kinds of shakes in honor of the return of the show. One […]
This is my third visit to this dessert heaven. (You can read about my previous visits here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/eclair-bakery/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/eclair-bakery-2/) They still have all the yummy looking freshly baked goods and desserts… I hope this place never closes down! And of course the eclairs… I am so glad we don’t live near here, as we would be […]
So, we are back to our favorite themed cafe, once again! (You can read my previous visits here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/rue-la-rue-cafe/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/rue-la-rue-cafe-2/ ) Actually, this is for the last two visits combined. Since they have expanded their hours and menu, we wanted to try a few items that we haven’t tried yet. Another new thing is that they […]
Another trip out of JFK, and another hunt for, well, decent food. With all the money they spend on airports, why can’t they have more decent eateries at airports??? Unfortunately, If you don’t have access to one of those fancy lounges, we are stuck with not-so-great food. One thing they have is the convenience of […]
Since I visited Harney & Sons two years ago with my sister (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/harney-sons/), I have become a big fan of this place and their tea. It is a good place to get some tasty teas for us, and also gifts for others. They had the window decorated with fun […]
In New York City, there will be a few new food trend or craze that comes up to steal the spotlight from the ones from previous year. Poké is one of them that is getting lots of attention, and new Poké eateries opening up every day. I didn’t know much about Poké, but from the first time I saw […]
Nowadays, there are many restaurant and shops that focuses on making “photogenic” food or desserts. I wonder sometimes if the flavor suffers, by putting too much focus on how they look… Anyways, I saw this dessert place that had very pretty dessert, and I finally made it. This is a gelato spot, not ice cream. […]
IchiUmi is a “Japanese Sushi and Seafood Buffet” located in Korean Town, right above Ichi Cellar (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/ichi-cellar/ ). I have been to IchiUmi once, several years ago, and I was not impressed. But, my hubby got curious when he heard what they claimed to be, an all-you-can-eat sushi and seafood. The […]
