This spot has been on my radar for a while, since it bears Japanese name, and it is a curry restaurant! I love Japanese curry, but yet this restaurant is located in Korean Town… So, is it Japanese or Korean restaurant??? So I ventured out to find out the answer for myself! From what I […]
I am a fan of Dominique Ansel Bakery, and I have visited Dominuque Ansel Kitchen twice (you can read about them here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dominique-ansel-kitchen/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dominique-ansel-kitchen-2/ ). I even visited the ones in Japan (you can read about them here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dominique-ansel-bakery-omotesando/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dominique-ansel-bakery-ginza/ ). But yet, I still haven’t visited Dominique Ansel Bakery in NYC…until now. With its crazy […]
When I first heard about this restaurant opening up in NYC this Summer, I was very excited. But, didn’t really make my way over there until now. Even though I was very curious, I didn’t feel any immediate need or desire to check out their simple teppanyaki-style food, and also, I heard some say that […]
One of the fun food specialty in Japan is Bento Box. They have so many different kinds by so many different vendors. Yes you can get them from convenient stores and such, but there are still some old-fashion bento shop that has been in a business for over 100 years! We went to one of […]
Ever since this restaurant opened up in July of this year, I have been very curious about them. Then, when I was in Japan during late Summer, I met with chefs who knows and worked with the Executive Chef at Mifune! So, I really had to go for a visit. It had a clean, modern […]
This is my second review of Olio e Piú (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/olio-e-piu/). We had such a great time the first visit, we went back for more. We decided to sit inside this time, and it was quite lovely. Still, quite tight with tables and chairs put closed to each other, and […]
I have been a fan of L.A. Burdick Chocolate ever since my love brought me a surprise sweet gift from here, several years ago. They have all sorts of handmade chocolates, from Bonbons, Truffles, Caramels and few other delectable and adorable items. They moved to its current location on Prince Street a little while ago. […]
We had an opportunity to attend NYC Wine & Food Festival, Backyard BBQ event ($175/person). It was at the rooftop of Pier 92, and held on Sunday evening. It was their 10th anniversary, so I heard it was extra festive this year. When we got there, it was already busy with lots of people, and […]
I have walked by this spot many times, but never actually dined here. Their lovely outdoor seating and exterior is very noticeable, and yes, I was curious. After several years, I finally got the opportunity to dine here. The ambiance of the exterior (to me) was some sort of old European café, with red bricks […]
One thing we enjoy doing on our way to Japan is visiting airport lounges. Not all the lounges are excellent, but it is better than waiting for your flight at the gate. We booked our flights with JAL, and like so many other airlines, JAL was partnering with Air France Lounge. It seemed like all […]
