If you are a serious fan of Diner experience or comfort food, then you must head to where it all began: Worcester, MA. The history has it that the first diner was in a form of horse-pulled wagon from 1872 in Rhode Island, but the actual commercial production of lunch wagons began in Worcester, MA […]
If you really want to soak up the Irish experience during St. Patrick Day celebration (or any other day), then you must head to the border of Bronx and Yonkers, where a Little Ireland resides. This cute neighborhood called Woodlawn is filled with great Irish pubs, bakeries, and gift shops. The street that divide Bronx […]
As I continued on with my search for traditional/authentic Irish pub and food (you can read my first Irish discovery here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/the-dead-rabbit-grocery-and-grog/), I discovered second interesting spot called Molly’s. They are “pub and shebeen” and was established in 1960, therefore, naturally the most traditional Irish bar in New York. I was very excited to see […]

There are all different types of art, from classic to modern, paintings to sculptures, exhibitions and performance. You can find all of these, right here in […]
One of my weakness when it comes to food is burger and fries. I don’t what it is about them, but they always get to me… Among hundreds of burger joints in the city, there are few places that offers really excellent burgers. They might not be “cheap eats” but you will get quality. Umami […]
This is my second review of MacarOn Café, different location from the first review. (You can read my first review at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/macaron-cafe/) We went to their 3rd Avenue location for afternoon snack, and also to buy a few of them as a gift to my co-worker friend who told me that she never had macaron before.

One of the joy of my life is to take my mother to different afternoon tea spots in NYC when she comes for a visit. It is such a fun experience, and I have taken other family members, friends, and my husband to some of my favorite spots. Since my mother can’t come for visit […]
