I had an opportunity to attend an event held at Harlem Nights, and it was lots of fun. I don’t really venture out to that area, since it is not really easy to get to via subway, but I wanted to check out this new bar-lounge venue. I gotta say, it was pretty easy to […]
I am a fan of Starbucks beverage and food, but not a fan of their crowded space. So, when they opened an upscale shop called the “Reserve” where they offer specialty coffee line also named the Reserve in a not-so-crowded area in Chelsea, I was happy to go check it out. Even thought they have […]
I love desserts. That’s it. Can’t live without them. It is a curse bestowed upon me since I was a baby (or that is my excuse for eating them). When I heard about this unique donuts shop, said to be “NYC’s most creative doughnuts,” I had to go pay a visit. The “creative” part is […]
I have been lucky enough to have good amount of experience when it comes to international cuisine, both by traveling & living overseas, and trying out some restaurants that offers authentic international cuisine. But at the end of the day, my favorite is still Japanese food, hands down. When I heard of a unique ramen […]
We discovered this cute little pastry shop, where they offer fresh pastries and Mexican food. I was just looking for some afternoon sweets, so the name “Sweet Life Pastry” sounded like a perfect fit. The inside was small, with a few table seating, but seems like not many people actually eat in, so should not have […]
This is my second review of the Maroni Hot Pots. (You can read my first review here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/maroni-hot-pots/) After the first time visiting this lovely spot, we had to go back to try another kind of hot pot. The meatballs and garlic we bought was truly heavenly. This time, we bought small pot of Spaghetti & […]
We can find great, delicious, and authentic food in many awesome restaurants around the city, but if you take a closer look elsewhere, you can find unique, amazing food at many other places you might not have thought of before. In my search for an authentic, yummy British Cornish Pasty, I found it, not in […]
Yes, they get a point already with that clever name. Gotta give it to the British for their witty humor. It is located in the neighborhood that used to be known as “Little Britain” in the Village. If you want to get some authentic British afternoon tea, Fish and Chips, or groceries, this is the […]
As I continued on with my search for traditional/authentic Irish pub and food (you can read my first Irish discovery here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/the-dead-rabbit-grocery-and-grog/), I discovered second interesting spot called Molly’s. They are “pub and shebeen” and was established in 1960, therefore, naturally the most traditional Irish bar in New York. I was very excited to see […]
