Even though I love cocktails, I don’t really go to bars for drink. I occasionally have a cocktail or two at dinner, but that’s about it. But, a place I do enjoy visiting is a speakeasy. Thankfully, New York City has many speakeasy bars that you can visit. Recently, I found another one called Apothéke. […]

Kitchenette Uptown #2
This is my second review of Kitchenette, you can read about my first post here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/kitchenette-uptown/ Kitchenette is still a popular spot in this area, it is cute, good breakfast/brunch menu, and there are not many other brunch options around here. I always liked the way they look from the outside, with bright blue awning with […]
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema
I really enjoy dine-in theater, especially if it is a unique theater or dining spot. So far, Nitehawk and iPic Theater are my top favorites (you can read about Nitehawk posts here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/nitehawk-cinema/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/nitehawk-cinema-2/ and about iPic posts here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/ipic-theater-hudson-lights/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/ipic-theater-hudson-lights-2/). I have been waiting for this new theater, Alamo to complete construction and open up in Brooklyn for a […]
Raclette
Ever since I saw some photos of melted cheese being drizzled over yummy food from this restaurant, I have been wanting to go for a visit. About a year later, we finally gotten around to visiting them! It had crowd of people waiting outside for a table, but since we had reservation, we had no […]
Water & Wine
I went for a nice business dinner a couple of months ago in New Jersey. It is in a restaurant offering contemporary American fare with Italian influences. The “Water” part of the name comes from the fact that it is located by a lake, with a beautiful view of the water. The inside was quite […]
Win Son
At the beginning of this year, to improve and expand our dining experience further, I joined one of the dinner clubs in New York City, “Tasting Collective.” There are several members-only dining clubs out there, but I think this one is the best one, for its value and perks. Tasting Collective is a dining club […]
iPic Theater @ Hudson Lights #2
This is my second review of the iPic theater. (You can read my first review here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/ipic-theater-hudson-lights/). We again went there on a weekend, in a morning. I love how empty they are during the morning shows! This one was in a smaller theater, with only four rows of seats. Other than the number of […]
Rue La Rue Café #2 – CLOSED
Since their soft opening few weeks ago, we have been going to this lovely café almost every weekend. (You can read about my first visit here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/rue-la-rue-cafe/). Instead of having so many updates, I decided to combine the last several visits into one. It has constantly being really busy, with its fun theme, good food […]
Catch NYC
Before the Restaurant Week ended, we went to another seafood restaurant for Sunday Brunch. It was on 9th Avenue, but we didn’t really see any sign for Catch, but as we checked more closely, we found a sign that said to use the entrance on the 13th street. Then we finally saw their sign on […]
STK Midtown
Ever since I visited STK Orlando (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/stk-orlando/), I have been a fan of their food. And, my husband has been jealous of all the great dishes that I had. So, when we saw that they are a participating in the Restaurant Week, we made a reservation right away. They […]
