One of my favorite restaurant styles to visit is Izakaya. It is a Japanese pub with small plates of food, like tapas, that you share with your family and friends. I have been to several Izakaya in NYC, and when I think of the top three, Riki always takes the spot light in my mind. […]

The Bar Downstairs
One of the interests I have when it comes to food and drinks is visiting Speakeasy. I love discovering a little secret hideaway.

Hanamizuki Café
I have been wanting to try the cute Japanese lunch set from Hanamizuki Café for a while. I finally got the chance to visit over the weekend. It is a cute little spot, with simple while exterior and menu displayed on a wooden crate-looking sign. Having some green against it made it extra inviting. The inside […]

I love eclairs, and I have had my share of disappointments with very small amount of filling, or not so tasty […]

Thankfully, New York City has many speakeasy bars that you can visit. Recently, I found another one called Apothéke. […]
