I have been interested in BLACKBARN for while, and when we walk by during peak hours, it was always looked full and busy. A good sign of good food. So, when my family was here during the late summer of 2022, I decided to take them there for lunch. We had successful lunch/brunch at spots […]

The Little Shop 2022
When we first visited this adorable and super awesome Speakeasy, The Little Shop for the first time, we absolutely loved it! So, when my mother and my niece were visiting us in September 2022, we decided to take them there. They were of course a bit confused when we took them to a small grocery […]
Hotel Chantelle
Ever since we first visited Hotel Chantelle in 2016, we became fans of this spot. We especially love their rooftop dining. It has such fun and cute Parisian feel to it. We thought my mother and my niece would also really like this place, so we brought them for an early brunch in September 2022. […]
Dowling’s at The Carlyle
One of the fine dining places I took my mother and niece was the gorgeous Dowling’s at The Carlyle. They have several dining room options at The Carlyle, all beautifully decorated and unique on its own way, making the decision difficult. I went with the Dowling’s at The Carlyle since we needed the real lunch […]
Steak Frites Bistro
Since the pandemic, we haven’t really had the opportunity to take an advantage off of the Restaurant Week promotions. This winter, we finally got to try the Restaurant Week menu at Steak Frites Bistro. They offer bistro cuisine such as oysters, escargot, onion soup, and of course, steak frites. As soon as you step inside, […]
Ruby’s Cafe
We went to have a brunch at one of the Ruby’s Cafe at Soho location last summer. Yes, I am still catching up from last year… They don’t take reservation, and so there might be a little wait when you go there during the peak time. The SoHo location is the only spot we’ve visited, […]
Emily
I have many loves when it comes to food. One of which is a good burger. For that reason, Emily has been on my radar for a long time. You might think that they are more of a pizzeria, and yes, they do offer pizza, and obviously pizza loves Emily according to their cute neon […]
Çka ka Qëllu
We recently went to Çka ka Qëllu, a rustic restaurant offering modern Albanian and Kosovan dishes. I knew they had Bronx location, which seems to be even more authentic when it comes to the interior and atmosphere. But then again, the NYC location is easier to get to, so we tried the NYC location. The […]

Sushi Lab Rooftop
If you’ve read my blogs enough, you will know my love for Speakeasies, like the The Little Shop and The Honey Well in NYC. There are other Speakeasy type of spots, which are more of a restaurants rather than bars. Sushi Lab Rooftop is kind of a Speakeasy restaurant, as it is a bit hidden […]
