When I was visiting Cape Cod in Massachusetts around the Holiday, I discovered a nice shopping mall area, called Mashpee Commons. It has lots of stores, eateries, and even a movie theater. It is an outdoor mall, so not super convenient on a rainy day or snowy day, but it is very well organized and […]
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 […]
Once again, I returned to my favorite Italian restaurant in New York, Enoteca Maria with my mother and my husband (You can read about my previous post here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/enoteca-maria/). I discovered this lovely, wonderful restaurant almost 10 years ago, and I fell in love with everything that this restaurant had to offer; food, atmosphere, service, and […]
The new Eataly location opened up in the Summer of 2015. I waited for a while before I visited, since I assumed it will be crazy crowded with everyone checking it out. I finally went for a visit during the Winter, on a weekday. It was cold and a bit rainy, so the Eataly was […]
Restaurants and bars are not the only places to get food and drinks. There are many events going on throughout the year in NYC that combines activities with food and drink. This is just one of many. I found this fun event called Beer Hop 5K in September 2016. It was their first event, and […]
I always get excited when there is a brand-new restaurant or eatery opening up. So, when I first saw the sign that said “Pizzeria coming soon” I decided that I will be the first one (or, more realistically, “one of” their customers) to be there on the day they open. The week before they opened, […]
While I was doing some extra research on Cape Cod for a colleague who was going to visit for the first time, I found a hidden gem for myself as well. I always enjoyed visiting wineries and vineyards, and trying some of their wines. I found a lovely winery in Upper Cape, called Cape Cod […]
I enjoy going to the Yankee Stadium for the whole game experience. (You can find my other reviews on Yankee Stadium here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/yankee-stadium/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/yankee-stadium-2/) First thing we do when we get there is to go to the Monument Park, before it gets crowded. Once everyone start making their way over there, it gets […]
It certainly has been a hot Summer. What saves us from the heat? Nice air conditioned room, ice cream, beach…and then there is Italian Ice. We heard everyone talking about this one in particular, near Corona Park. On a weekend we were visiting the Corona Park, and had some nice water splashing our face from […]
Another great spot we got to visit during the Restaurant Week Summer 2016 was The Leopard at des Artistes. We went for a weekend Brunch. It is located nearby Lincoln Center, nice quiet area. It had scaffolding right on that building, so we could not fully appreciate the beautiful architecture design on the building. However, […]
