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 […]
This is my second review of Tampopo Ramen (you can read my first review by going here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/tampopo-ramen/) Since we had such nice food at Tampopo Ramen a few month ago, we decided to go back for some more. We figured that they now had more experience running the restaurant since they opened, so everything […]
It is true that New York City offers so many different types of cuisine from all over the world. The same can be said about art in the city. There are all different types of art, from classic to modern, paintings to sculptures, exhibitions and performance. You can find all of these, right here in […]
One of my weakness when it comes to food is burger and fries. I don’t what it is about them, but they always get to me… Among hundreds of burger joints in the city, there are few places that offers really excellent burgers. They might not be “cheap eats” but you will get quality. Umami […]
Ok, it is official, I am in LOVE! Well, maybe a close second to my sweet husband. But seriously, this brand-new spot, Maroni Hot Pots have won my heart with their amazing meatballs. I had whispers about their meatballs, and it got my curiosity all going, so I decided to go check it out. Once […]
As most New Yorkers, I am NOT fans of Times Square, so when I was invited to go to an event at Havana Central in Times Square, I was a bit concerned. The restaurants in Times Square don’t really have good reputation, as they are mainly for tourists (expensive food and not very quality food), […]
I discovered this restaurant through an event, and boy, it was a great and tasty event! If you are (or were) a fan of Chipotle at any point of your life, this might interest you, as they have very similar concept. After being there once, I fell in love with the place (and the food, of […]
One of the most famous quick & cheap eats of NYC is Papaya King. I know there are other “Papaya” guys out there, like Gray’s Papaya Dog (founded by a former partner of Papaya King), and Papaya Dog, but I believe Papaya King is the oldest, and original. The history of this establishment is quite […]
I discovered this hidden bar/lounge through a fun event. It is located underneath the IchiUmi, which I have been to once several years ago, and I was not very impressed. When I was looking for Ichi Cellar, I was surprised to find the location, but if you look at the name of IchiUmi and Ichi […]
One thing I love about Japanese cuisine is their sweets. They really do great job with pastries and all sorts of desserts. It is somehow more delicate, light, and never overly sweet. No matter which one you chose, you can almost be certain that you will get a great flavor. A quick background about Cafe […]
