On one Sunday, we were walking around, looking for a brunch spot. Then, we walked by this place called Bazár Tapas Bar & Restaurant. We must’ve walked by this spot so many times, but for some reason, we never really paid that much attention… We love tapas, so we decided to check it out. It […]

Cacao Bar by MarieBelle
One of the most fun dining experiences out there, in my opinion, is afternoon tea. My mother loves afternoon tea, and so do my husband and I. When my mother and my niece came for a visit in late summer/early fall of 2022, I made sure to take them to a few afternoon tea spots. […]
BLACKBARN Restaurant
I have been interested in BLACKBARN for while, and when we walk by during peak hours, it was always looked full and busy. A good sign of good food. So, when my family was here during the late summer of 2022, I decided to take them there for lunch. We had successful lunch/brunch at spots […]
The Little Shop 2022
When we first visited this adorable and super awesome Speakeasy, The Little Shop for the first time, we absolutely loved it! So, when my mother and my niece were visiting us in September 2022, we decided to take them there. They were of course a bit confused when we took them to a small grocery […]
Onden Ippo
While we were in Japan over the winter holidays, we stayed a couple of nights in Tokyo. On our first night there, we were walking around, looking for a place for dinner. After going to a spot that has not opened for the new year just yet, we kept walking around, until we found this […]
Hotel Chantelle
Ever since we first visited Hotel Chantelle in 2016, we became fans of this spot. We especially love their rooftop dining. It has such fun and cute Parisian feel to it. We thought my mother and my niece would also really like this place, so we brought them for an early brunch in September 2022. […]
Dowling’s at The Carlyle
One of the fine dining places I took my mother and niece was the gorgeous Dowling’s at The Carlyle. They have several dining room options at The Carlyle, all beautifully decorated and unique on its own way, making the decision difficult. I went with the Dowling’s at The Carlyle since we needed the real lunch […]
UNIQLO COFFEE
One of our favorite spots to get some clothes would definitely be UNIQLO. We have gone to so many UNIQLO shops everywhere. While we were visiting Japan, my sister told us about UNIQLO COFFEE at the newly renovated flagship store in Ginza. The coffee shop opened in 2021, and I heard their coffee and snacks […]
Boqueria
This is one of the restaurants I selected when my mother and niece was visiting us here in NYC in September 2022. I was looking for a restaurant near the theater district, but not one of those tourist trap type places. The menu at Boqueria looked enticing, and it was close enough to the theater […]
Blue Cafe
While we were in NJ, we found this very popular restaurant called Blue Cafe. Seems like we are finding places with “cafe” in their names in NJ lately…such as Cafe HESED, and Cafe Lala. Let’s see how Blue Cafe is like, shall we? The place was packed with a handful of people waiting outside. Luckily […]
