At the height of the “food hall” craze, which actually lasted several years before the pandemic, we gained many food halls across NYC. We have Turnstyle Underground Market, The Pennsy, Essex Street Market, and so many more. The latest news before everything shut down was The North End Food Hall, all the way up in […]
For many people, “Chinatown” in New York means the one in downtown Manhattan. But, if you ask the people who knows about the “REAL” Chinatown, they will tell you it is in Flushing, Queens. We were just starting to explore more eateries and restaurants before the Pandemic hit. You can find some great dim sum […]
For the last few years, I have been hearing and seeing more “flagship” stores coming to NYC. Which is a bit surprising, as flagship usually requires large space, and NYC is very tight when it comes to real estate…but there is always opportunities for business who wants to have their flagship store in the heart […]
When we ventured out to DUMBO one early Saturday morning, we found ourselves looking for a nice spot for breakfast/brunch nearby. After doing some research, we found Butler with tasty looking menu. They have more than one locations, and one of them were very close by. So we walked over to check them out. We […]

Even though I haven’t actually cooked the dish (yet), I was very curious to go and try it ourselves. Native Noodles offers Singaporean dishes, […]
When I heard that a new Japanese restaurant focusing on meat dishes just opened up, I had to go check them out immediately! The restaurant is called Prime Meat Rokko, and the owner has a few restaurant (mostly yakiniku restaurants) in Japan. From doing a quick research on Prime Meat Rokko, this restaurant seems to […]
Since we didn’t really venture out much during the pandemic, we haven’t cry visited Brooklyn for over a year. This fabulous and cozy little café, Ciao Bella Coffee seems like the right spot to go for our first visit to Brooklyn! They have been opened for about a year, which must have been tough to […]
