Finding a real, authentic food of any cuisine can be a challenge. No matter how “authentic” a place might look or say, most of them are somewhat Americanized version of the authentic food. When you find an authentic place, a lot of the time, it can be a small, hole in a wall kind of […]
I found this interesting, small restaurant that provides Latin dishes with a Mexican twist. That got my curiosity enough to venture out to the area I usually don’t visit. The inside is pretty small, so it gets packed pretty quickly. The fact that they are a popular spot also helps, of course. It has exposed brick […]
Out of all the events happening all the time, one of my favorite event in NYC is a pop-up eatery space that shows up on several locations. In Spring and the Fall, Greeley Square, right by the Macy’s will have one of these fun and delicious event called the Broadway Bites. The greatest thing about these […]
When you think “Mexican Food” you might just think of tacos, chips & salsa, and margarita, the old-fashion, home-cooked style.

In NYC, restaurants pops up and disappear as quickly as you can find one. It is sad to see a restaurant closes, but then, it can give a new restaurant a chance (and a retail space) to open. This is one of those stories. Here in Washington Heights, right by beautiful view of Hudson River, […]
There is always something fun happening somewhere in NYC. But, some of those things might not be easy to find. We came across one of those, almost hidden event in Spanish Harlem, called the Vendy Plaza. It is an outdoor event, but located at La Marqueta underneath the subway over-path, so it can be open […]
This was my second Havana Central Event, and I remember how much fun I had last year (you can read my review from last year here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/havana-central/). It was at the same spot, upper level of the restaurant, the VIP section. As soon as we arrived, they showered us with Margaritas. They did few things […]
There is always something fun happening on holidays in NYC. For Memorial Day, it is easy for find some kind of BBQ event somewhere. I have been to a few BBQ events in the past, but this year, I was lucky enough to join an awesome BBQ party at Bohemian. This restaurant is one of […]
