Everyone knows what CIA is, but do you know there is a place called “The Other CIA”??? It stands for The Culinary Institute of America, and it is an American private college and culinary school specializing in culinary, baking, and pastry arts education. The great thing is, you don’t have to be a student or teacher […]
This is a little unique one since not everyone can get access to it. But, if you are a graduate student, postdoctoral researcher, or specific faculty – or you know someone who is one of these – then you are in luck. This is one of the several cafe spots at the main Columbia University […]
Since I found a new love in Boston with Tatte (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/tatte-bakery-cafe-back-bay/), I also found out that they have multiple locations! Thanks! The one located on Charles Street was directly on the way to the conference I was attending, so I started to go to this location on the way […]
I am a fan of Patisserie Chanson (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/patisserie-chanson/). I learned during my first visit to Patisserie Chanson that they have an evening/night face that is even more exquisite and sexy, with tasting menu of nothing but high end, unique, creative desserts! The entrance is located right next to Patisserie […]
I first learnt about this place and their product from a sweet friend of mine with a sweet gift. She gave us a box full of artisan chocolates! So, while I was in Boston, I went to check their store and their chocolates. They are located on the upper level of a red brick building, […]
I love finding a new cafe with delectable baked goods and desserts. During my stay in Boston, I found a cafe that quickly became my favorite. I visited Tatte Bakery & Café in Back Bay, super early in the morning. They had nice outdoor seating, but it was not the perfect outdoor day (just yet), […]
Anyone who is a fan of Audrey Hepburn, or Tiffany accessories, then you know about The Blue Box Cafe. And if you didn’t know, yes, you can have “Breakfast at Tiffany” well, that is only if you can get a reservation. Getting a reservation here is so difficult, it took me a while to actually […]
We were visiting Boston during one of the “Free Days” at the Museum of Fine Arts. They had a long line to get in, seems like lots of art lovers were trying to take advantage of the free day. It is a nice, large museum with many different kinds of art pieces from all over […]
This is a hidden gem in Riverdale, New York. A bit far to get there from the center of Manhattan, but it is so worth the trip for a nice, quiet relaxation. It is a 28-acre estate overlooking the Hudson River. The estate has two houses and a botanical garden, but much, much smaller than Brooklyn […]
We like visiting an old diner that has been in business for a long time, with lots of loyal local customers. We found one in Brooklyn when we visited Brooklyn Museum. This diner is family owned operated since 1936! And yes, is quite popular among the locals and alike. We were excited to get some […]
