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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
We like to arrive at any airport early when traveling by air, so that we can get through all the check-in, security, finding the gate, etc., then relax at an airport lounge. I did write about our experience at Casa Alitalia Lounge @ JFK, No.1 Lounge @ Heathrow Airport, JAL Sakura Lounge 2017, etc. in […]
I like finding a new coffee spot with almost a hidden area for relaxation, like The Chipped Cup. I heard Five Flies Coffee is one of those spots, and have been wanting to check this place out for a while, and the first visit several months ago, we have been going back a few times. […]

We were looking at a brunch spot somewhere in DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights. And I found a perfect place called Vineapple, on Pineapple Street. I know, what a cool name, right? They have a nice outdoor seating (for now), and a cute pineapple neon light at the window. Once you walk inside, there is a […]
