I know, you are wondering why I am writing about the place that is now closed since we visited in January 2023? Well, they still have shops, pop up stores, markets, and park. You never know when they re-open the Moomin Cafe again! (Hoping and wishing bigtime here). We made it to the Solamachi location […]

Junkissa PanEsu
After a day full of delicious eats with my gourmet sister, I casually mentioned to her that we haven’t decided where to go for breakfast the next morning. She sent me her recommendation, and of course we trusted her 100%. So, when we got up, we went looking for this spot called Junkissa PanEsu. We […]
Red Feather – CLOSED
We were looking for a brunch spot, and we were feeling some kind of Asian food. We found Red Feather near Washington Square Park. There are several steps up to the restaurant entrance, not accessible from what I could see. The inside was a bit smaller that I thought it would be. The exterior and […]
Bazár Tapas Bar & Restaurant
On one Sunday, we were walking around, looking for a brunch spot. Then, we walked by this place called Bazár Tapas Bar & Restaurant. We must’ve walked by this spot so many times, but for some reason, we never really paid that much attention… We love tapas, so we decided to check it out. It […]
Cacao Bar by MarieBelle
One of the most fun dining experiences out there, in my opinion, is afternoon tea. My mother loves afternoon tea, and so do my husband and I. When my mother and my niece came for a visit in late summer/early fall of 2022, I made sure to take them to a few afternoon tea spots. […]
BLACKBARN Restaurant
I have been interested in BLACKBARN for while, and when we walk by during peak hours, it was always looked full and busy. A good sign of good food. So, when my family was here during the late summer of 2022, I decided to take them there for lunch. We had successful lunch/brunch at spots […]
Hotel Chantelle
Ever since we first visited Hotel Chantelle in 2016, we became fans of this spot. We especially love their rooftop dining. It has such fun and cute Parisian feel to it. We thought my mother and my niece would also really like this place, so we brought them for an early brunch in September 2022. […]
Dowling’s at The Carlyle
One of the fine dining places I took my mother and niece was the gorgeous Dowling’s at The Carlyle. They have several dining room options at The Carlyle, all beautifully decorated and unique on its own way, making the decision difficult. I went with the Dowling’s at The Carlyle since we needed the real lunch […]
Blue Cafe
While we were in NJ, we found this very popular restaurant called Blue Cafe. Seems like we are finding places with “cafe” in their names in NJ lately…such as Cafe HESED, and Cafe Lala. Let’s see how Blue Cafe is like, shall we? The place was packed with a handful of people waiting outside. Luckily […]
Steak Frites Bistro
Since the pandemic, we haven’t really had the opportunity to take an advantage off of the Restaurant Week promotions. This winter, we finally got to try the Restaurant Week menu at Steak Frites Bistro. They offer bistro cuisine such as oysters, escargot, onion soup, and of course, steak frites. As soon as you step inside, […]
