While we were walking around Chelsea, we decided to get some dinner. We found this restaurant called City Winery in Pier 57. It is kind of a T shaped restaurant, with the front part mostly empty, with the back area more full. We got there early so it was not as busy, but about the […]

I know I still have a lot of catch up to do from my Japan trip…but, let me get back to NYC for a bit. If you had chance to read many of my blogs, then you know I love speakeasy spots, and hidden/neighborhood gems. Well, let me introduce you to this hidden gem cafe […]
We had one of the best foods from MIFUNE New York. The Executive Chef, who is an acquaintance of my gourmet sister’s best friend. Everything we had was so good, we went back for more, and then again! I took my mother there while she was vising us here in NYC, and also, my in-laws. […]
Around the Christmas holiday season, we went to The Glass Onion in Cape Cod for dinner. It was a cozy restaurant, smaller than I thought it would be. The inside was relaxing atmosphere with earthy tone. They had a fully stocked bar near the entrance. Since we had a reservation, and it was not busy […]
We have been to Patisserie Chanson a few times, and to the Dessert Bar (CLOSED) below a few years ago. The space that used to be occupied by the Dessert Bar is now a hidden, a cocktail speakeasy lounge! While my family was here, I decided to take them there. There was a somewhat not-noticeable […]
I am back at writing about the places we dined several months ago… Better late than never! I found this spot called Riverpark while I was looking for a nice restaurant with a view of the river. I thought my mother and my niece will enjoy it. The location was not as easy to access, […]
If you read many of my posts, you know I absolutely love Speakeasy spots. We recently went to this fun place called Bathtub Gin in Chelsea. When you get to the address, you see Stone Street coffee shop, already closed for the day. But guess what, comes the magic hour, a staff will come out […]
There are so many great rooftop spots in NYC, I have been to a few, such as Sushi Lab Rooftop and Hotel Chantelle, and had a really nice time! This time, I found this spot called Elsie Rooftop for a Bottomless Brunch. I usually stay away from bottomless places, since they tend to water down […]
Update: We went back to The Cauldron NYC only four months later, in late September 2023. I was shocked at how much changes they made to everything… The only thing they didn’t change was the decor. We could no longer choose which sandwich we wanted, and the portion was significantly smaller. The waitress was not […]
