I love finding a hidden gem, and there are a few good hidden gem restaurants in New York City. One of which is an elegant restaurant inside The Morgan Library & Museum. It is an upscale lunch-only American restaurant, and you do not have to pay for the admission for the Museum in order to […]

Petrossian Boutique & Cafe
I was looking for a nice breakfast that opens early morning, and located near Carnegie Hall. After some searches, I came across this spot. They are a cafe and also a shop. We went late Autumn, so it was decorated for the season from inside and out. The inside is not big, but rather small […]

The Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog #2
This was our second visit to this Irish joint, Dead Rabbit. We took someone who would enjoy this restaurant and the Irish food, and I think we did an excellent job. This time, we went all the way up to the third floor, to The Occasional Room. This room is described as a party or […]
Dominique Ansel Bakery
I am a fan of Dominique Ansel Bakery, and I have visited Dominuque Ansel Kitchen twice (you can read about them here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dominique-ansel-kitchen/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dominique-ansel-kitchen-2/ ). I even visited the ones in Japan (you can read about them here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dominique-ansel-bakery-omotesando/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dominique-ansel-bakery-ginza/ ). But yet, I still haven’t visited Dominique Ansel Bakery in NYC…until now. With its crazy […]
L.A. Burdick Chocolate & Devoción Coffee
I have been a fan of L.A. Burdick Chocolate ever since my love brought me a surprise sweet gift from here, several years ago. They have all sorts of handmade chocolates, from Bonbons, Truffles, Caramels and few other delectable and adorable items. They moved to its current location on Prince Street a little while ago. […]
NYCWFF 2017: Backyard BBQ
We had an opportunity to attend NYC Wine & Food Festival, Backyard BBQ event ($175/person). It was at the rooftop of Pier 92, and held on Sunday evening. It was their 10th anniversary, so I heard it was extra festive this year. When we got there, it was already busy with lots of people, and […]
Air France Lounge @ JFK
One thing we enjoy doing on our way to Japan is visiting airport lounges. Not all the lounges are excellent, but it is better than waiting for your flight at the gate. We booked our flights with JAL, and like so many other airlines, JAL was partnering with Air France Lounge. It seemed like all […]
Shake Shack @ UWS 2017
This is my second review of this Shake Shack location. (You can read about my first review here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/shake-shack-uws/) We went back to this location for a very specific reason: to get their limited time only shakes! Will & Grace-themed shakes!!! They have two kinds of shakes in honor of the return of the show. One […]
McDonald @ Japan
I am not a big fan of fast food restaurant, so I rarely get food from any of them unless I don’t have much option (like at an airport). I don’t remember the last time I willingly went to a fast food restaurant… But, when I am in Japan, I do get the desire to […]
