One thing I look forward to on weekends (other than fun plans and a little R&R) is the brunch. I feel that the brunch time brings such a nice, relaxing time to have a good breakfast items from nice restaurants. Thinking about brunch makes me smile for some reason. It is such warm, cozy feeling, […]
Finding a good food at any airport is always a challenge. Sometimes, you get lucky, but most of the time, you are not getting much of quality or tasty food. Most of us have learned to “settle” for whatever is available at the airport…(you can read my other experiences on airport food at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/custom-burger-newark-airport/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/wolfgang-puck-express/).

Pronto is one of a chain eatery in Japan with an interesting concept (to me). They are cafe, restaurant, and bar (Izakaya). It seems like they change their face depends on the time of the day/night, according to what people would want. What a creative and awesome concept it that? If you go there during […]
Lots of people, both local and travelers say one of the best place to eat in San Francisco, especially or brunch, is Brenda’s French Soul Food. So, of course, we had to check it out. It was fairly easy to spot, with its red painted exterior. The chef/owner of this place, Brenda (naturally), grew up […]

We went to one in Upper West Side on 84th and Amsterdam, walking distance of the American Museum of Natural History and the Riverside Park. It has nice open space with large windows, bringing in […]
Zabar’s is well known for their smoked fish, but also have a huge variety of gourmet goods, prepared foods, cookware, and so much more. And if you think they are more of an “expensive” store, let me tell you, their coffee mugs are less than $2! Ok, so this is a food blog, and you are […]
Yes, there is a cafe at the Fairway in Upper West Side. It is on second floor, and pretty roomy but crowded. It has lots of big windows, so it was nice and bright, with mostly red brick walls which gives that nice cozy feeling. Each table had a cute flower arrangement with fresh flowers, […]
One of the hot spot in Astoria. Sweet Afton is a lively and friendly Irish pub with a hip vibe, beautiful exposed brick and beam interior, and most of all, “locally sourced” amazing food. Some local Astorians say this place has the best burger in the Astoria, so I had to go check it out. […]
