We went back to this adorable café that holds one of my favorite cream puff for more! We got some hot drinks, Praline Latte ($4.82/small) and Matcha Jasmine Latte ($4.75/small). Praline Latte was almost velvety, sweet but not too overwhelming. Very comforting nice drink on a cold day. Matcha Jasmine was interesting. From the first […]
I enjoy coffee and tea, well, more tea than coffee…anyways, while we were hanging out in Brooklyn, we were looking for a spot for a good cup of coffee or tea, and this spot came up on my search. It had raving reviews, so I was excited to try their creations. We actually walked pass […]
One of the most popular pizzeria in all of NYC is Grimaldi’s. You can see their long lines around the block on most days. I first visited Grimaldi’s nearly 10 years ago. And since then, I have gone back a handful of times. But, since they moved just a few steps up the road to […]
We went to Harlem Public when they had some special menu for just one week. We went on the second day to order the “secret” menu items; taco, burger and a drink. They had a nice outdoor space, and for a Tuesday evening, they had a good crowd going. Inside was a bit dark, and […]
I really do enjoy going to a Speakeasy or a bar that has the Speakeasy-feel to it. If you are not familiar with the term, The Honey Well had its definition on their sign: An illicit liquor store or night club inconspicuously located. They also had an example “Honey Well “doesn’t” serve cocktails *Wink, Wink*” […]
I heard that the original Capitol Diner was the oldest continuously opened restaurant in this neighborhood. The diner has been operating since the early 1920s, but with current and modern era and its crowd, the diner has changed its face and its owner. I never visited the old diner, but we decided to check out […]
We went to Terravita almost a year ago, when it was still rather new. We decided to go back to see how they are doing, and if they have something interesting on their menu. We started off with Iced Coffee ($3). It came in a nice size glass, not too big nor too small. It […]

We were looking for a place for light dinner one evening, and found this interesting spot. The entrance is down the stairs from the street, almost hidden a bit. The entrance area was marked with a large nautical-looking compass on the ground. The inside felt like you are on some kind of large, old ship. […]
There are so many pizza shops in NYC. Ones with history, ones with huge slices, ones with unique toppings…you name it, we have it. We recently visited a pizza shop with an interesting name, “&pizza” (and pizza). They have three locations in NYC, and we went to the newest location on Wall Street. The small […]
