During our trip to Portland in June, one of the place we visited was Mount Tabor. On the way there, we stopped at a little coffee shop called Crema Coffee + Bakery. They have a few locations, and this one we went to was inside a lovely stone church. The entrance is to the side, […]
The Waffle Window
Still catching up on all the places we visited in Portland OR from months ago… I do want to share all these great places, so bear with me. One of the breakfast places that I was excited to go was The Waffles Window. If you look at their website and their photos, you will know […]
McMenamins Courtyard Restaurant at Kennedy School
One of the most unique spots we visited during our trip to Portland Oregon in June was Kennedy School. The historical elementary school circa 1951 has been renovated by McMenamins into a hotel. Some rooms used to be classrooms with original chalkboards! It also has a restaurant, bars, a movie theater, soaking pool, gift shop and […]
YUBU
I was looking for a lunch spot in SoHo area, and I found an interesting spot called YUBU. It is a small Korean casual eatery, and they focus on Yubushobap. They have a good amount of seating, including a cute little window seating too. What I didn’t know is that yubu means “tofu skin” in […]
Voodoo Doughnut
One of the spots that kept coming up during our research for the Portland, OR trip was Voodoo Doughnut. Seems like a very popular doughnut spot for locals and tourists alike. We love a good doughnut, and we thought the name was interesting too. It was easy to find, with bright pink exterior and a […]
Papa Haydn
During our visit to Portland Oregon, one of the places I was most excited about was Papa Haydn. Why? Because they seem to have loads of amazing looking desserts! Yet, upon my further investigation (Yes I do love to investigate a spot before we go and dine…), I saw that they also have tasty looking […]
Huber’s Cafe
While vising Portland, my hubby really wanted to have the special cocktail at Huber’s Cafe. Furthermore, Huber’s Cafe is Portland’s oldest restaurant and bar, founded in 1879, known for roast turkey and Spanish coffee. The entrance is slightly trick to find. You must first locate a barbershop next to Huber’s Cafe, and enter through a […]
Switchback Grille
In July, we went to New Hampshire to take in all the nature. During our trip, we went to a restaurant with a spectacular view. The Switchback Grille is located high atop the mountain slopes of Bretton Woods. To get there, you get to take a scenic Gondola ride, which was really fun! I can […]
Aunts et Uncles
During the summertime, we had an opportunity to visit the Little Caribbean neighborhood near Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Here, we found this lovely spot called Aunts et Uncles, a plant-based, vegan friendly restaurant. They are also a cafe, bar, and even has a retail space. We heard great thing about their offerings, so we decided […]
Gilda’s Italian Restaurant
During our trip to Portland Oregon in June, we definitely wanted to visit food cart pod spots like Tokyo Sando, but also, there were a few classic spots we wanted to visit. One of them was called Gilda’s Italian Restaurant, with a soft “g” which is a name of an Italian Grandmother. You can find […]
