We like visiting an old diner that has been in business for a long time, with lots of loyal local customers. We found one in Brooklyn when we visited Brooklyn Museum. This diner is family owned operated since 1936! And yes, is quite popular among the locals and alike. We were excited to get some […]
We love it when we find a brand-new spot that just opened up recently. This wine bar opened a few months ago, and since we really enjoy a good glass (or bottle) of wine, we went to check it out. They offer natural wine and genuinely seasonal dining, hence, their menu for both wine and food […]
In New York, there is always something new to do and see, and new shops and restaurants opening up all the time. That also means that some shops and restaurants are closing very often too. It is a tough city to make it… But then again, there are some unique spots that opens for a […]
We were looking for a breakfast spot in the Bay Ridge area in Brooklyn. To my pleasant surprise, they had many great options! Out of all the attractive places, we narrowed it down to this spot. They actually have several locations, all in Brooklyn. They do state that they are “Born & Raised in Brooklyn.” […]
Brooklyn has so many new and interesting restaurants opening up everywhere, it is not easy to keep up. When we tried to go to one of the very popular restaurant, it had a very long wait… So, we decided to look up a different spot, and easily found several options nearby. The name of the […]
We were looking for a place to grab some dinner one evening, and we found this spot. We were actually planning to eat elsewhere, but they had crazy long wait, and this place was less busy, so… We still had to wait but only about 10-15 minutes of wait. The inside is not so big, […]
I had a pleasure of dining at their original spot in West Village about a year ago (you can read about it here : http://www.foodlovergirl.com/boucherie/). Now that they have a secondary location in Gramercy Park, we went to check it out. The restaurant was easy to spot with bright red awnings. The inside was astonishingly […]
There is something about the Victorian era… It comes with great novels, architecture, fashion and all other things that somehow are romantic and elaborate. One of the renowned writer lived during this era and produced striking novel such as The Picture of Dorian Gray. Yes, I am talking about Oscar Wilde. And I discovered a […]
I love Japanese izakaya, and I have been wanting to visit this spot for a while now. Since they don’t take reservation, and with its popularity, we haven’t had the chance to visit…until now! We decided to get there little before they open for the evening, and they already had some people lined up in […]
A high quality seafood at real Japanese restaurant, and I mean, REAL Japanese restaurant can be pricey. The best time to go have some tasty meal is during lunch time. This spot came under my radar, with their delectable lunch specials. But, it is not always to have lunch during the weekdays when you work […]
