It is getting hot in the City! Well, it is still not that bad, but soon, it will be 90-something-degree everyday… On those days (or any day, really), the perfect little pick-me-up is hands down ice cream in my opinion! There are hundreds of ice cream spots in NYC, like Taiyaki NYC and Tipsy Scoop, […]
One of the best thing about NYC is that you can get a cuisine from all over the world without ever leaving the city! You can get some tasty and interesting cuisine, both modernized and authentic, such as Indian, Thai, Japanese, German…. You name it, NYC has it! This time, we got to try some […]
There are so many photo-worthy food out there, and I get enticed by them frequently… Some of them only looks good, and the quality/flavor could be sacrificed. But then again, sometimes, you get something that looks amazing and taste great too. Ever since I first saw adorable steamed buns several years ago, I have been […]

We visited The Crooked Knife on 14th Street for brunch in the autumn. We didn’t have a reservation, but luckily, we got their last table! It was quite lively with everyone relaxing over food with family and friends. I like the seating area by the entrance with large sofas, making it feel like a living […]

HARBS is one of our favorite spot for Japanese cakes, and we returned multiple times, and also visited their HARBS Chelsea location as well. There is a little shop in Chinatown that focuses on fluffy Japanese baked cheese tarts, and […]
When you spend a good amount years in Japan, you have opportunity to try all sorts of real sushi spots, from more of an affordable ones, the conveyor belt one, and some real deal ones in Japan. And I do love all sorts of sushi, especially the real deal ones…well, who wouldn’t? We’ve enjoyed some […]
You might already be aware of my love (or obsession?) for Speakeasy. There are a few places in NYC, like The Honey Well, The Bar Downstairs, and Apothéke. Some of them have more of the real speakeasy feel, with their “secret” entrance, and that is the kind of place I love. This spot, The Little […]
I love Afternoon Tea of all sorts, a fancy one, a boozy one, themed one, unique one…you name it, and I will be there! Before everywhere shut down due to pandemic, we got to travel to England, and we went to a handful or amazing afternoon tea places, such as Mad Hatters Afternoon Tea at […]
In the summer of 2021 (yes I know I am a bit behind…), we did get to go around and try out some great spots! One of them is the Loulou Petit Bistro & Speakeasy. This place has been on my radar, especially for their speakeasy. I LOVE speakeasy… I try to find one everywhere […]
