While we were in Japan over the winter holidays, we stayed a couple of nights in Tokyo. On our first night there, we were walking around, looking for a place for dinner. After going to a spot that has not opened for the new year just yet, we kept walking around, until we found this […]
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. […]
One of our favorite spots to get some clothes would definitely be UNIQLO. We have gone to so many UNIQLO shops everywhere. While we were visiting Japan, my sister told us about UNIQLO COFFEE at the newly renovated flagship store in Ginza. The coffee shop opened in 2021, and I heard their coffee and snacks […]
We found this lovely place called Cafe Lala in NJ when we were looking for a brunch spot in NJ. They opened not too long ago. They have some parking right in front of the cafe, and also behind the building from what I understand. It is a part of Lee Park Plaza, small outdoor […]
We went to have a brunch at one of the Ruby’s Cafe at Soho location last summer. Yes, I am still catching up from last year… They don’t take reservation, and so there might be a little wait when you go there during the peak time. The SoHo location is the only spot we’ve visited, […]
After about 3 and a half years later, we finally were able to go back to Japan! It was a long time coming… And yes, we had some amazing meals in Japan! One of the best culinary experiences we’ve had was at a restaurant called NUAGE ET VENT, which means Cloud and Wind. The name […]
We recently went to Çka ka Qëllu, a rustic restaurant offering modern Albanian and Kosovan dishes. I knew they had Bronx location, which seems to be even more authentic when it comes to the interior and atmosphere. But then again, the NYC location is easier to get to, so we tried the NYC location. The […]

If you’ve read my blogs enough, you will know my love for Speakeasies, like the The Little Shop and The Honey Well in NYC. There are other Speakeasy type of spots, which are more of a restaurants rather than bars. Sushi Lab Rooftop is kind of a Speakeasy restaurant, as it is a bit hidden […]
The last restaurant we visited last fall before we headed back home was Salvatore’s Ristorante. I say we did great job finding amazing restaurants during this trip, such as Beach Road Restaurant and The Pawnee House. We did, however, had some not-so-great dining experience as well, which I will not mention… We were hoping for […]
