We have been to the Soba Noodle Azuma in NJ, and then found this spot in NYC. They seem to be a sister restaurant, since they share pretty much identical menu. We decided to check it out one day for lunch. It was still a bit early, before the lunch rush, so it was nice […]
This is another awesome Tasting Collective dining club event we attended.

This spot has been on my radar for a while, with their comfort food like burger and shakes. One weekend, we were nearby and looking for a place to eat, so we decided to check this place out. The first thing we saw was their nice, large bar. They offer beer, wine and cocktails. The […]
This is a little unique one since not everyone can get access to it. But, if you are a graduate student, postdoctoral researcher, or specific faculty – or you know someone who is one of these – then you are in luck. This is one of the several cafe spots at the main Columbia University […]
I found another interesting spot for afternoon tea, and what’s more exciting, it is a speakeasy afternoon tea spot! The entrance is through The Burgary which is a burger place. I didn’t really do my research on this before I went, so I didn’t know how to get in… I was ringing the doorbell to […]
I am a fan of Patisserie Chanson (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/patisserie-chanson/). I learned during my first visit to Patisserie Chanson that they have an evening/night face that is even more exquisite and sexy, with tasting menu of nothing but high end, unique, creative desserts! The entrance is located right next to Patisserie […]
I enjoy a nice bowl of poké every now and then. I had a few from The PokéSpot (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/the-pokespot/ ), but I have been eyeing on this spot with high ratings. We happened to be just in the area, so we decided to check it out. It was much smaller than I […]
Anyone who is a fan of Audrey Hepburn, or Tiffany accessories, then you know about The Blue Box Cafe. And if you didn’t know, yes, you can have “Breakfast at Tiffany” well, that is only if you can get a reservation. Getting a reservation here is so difficult, it took me a while to actually […]
Mifune is one of my favorite Japanese restaurant in the city. We had several amazing meals here (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/mifune-new-york/, http://www.foodlovergirl.com/mifune-new-york-2/ ), and brought a few people here too. And yes, they all enjoyed the food. I have been wanting to try their lunch menu ever since they started to offer lunch during […]
This is a hidden gem in Riverdale, New York. A bit far to get there from the center of Manhattan, but it is so worth the trip for a nice, quiet relaxation. It is a 28-acre estate overlooking the Hudson River. The estate has two houses and a botanical garden, but much, much smaller than Brooklyn […]
