I love well-crafted, high quality, and fancy cocktails. I prefer cocktails over beer, wine, and even bubbly. The whole history, creativity, and art of making cocktails are fascinating to me. I attended a fun event at a furniture showroom in SoHo, a mixology class! At the event, they had two mixologists (a.k.a. bartenders), teaching us […]

Petite Boucherie
I am a fan of Boucherie, and visited both Boucherie locations at West Village and Union Square. We had great experience and amazing food from both places. When they added another location named Petite Boucherie, we were more than excited to go try this location. As the name of the restaurant implied, the inside was […]
Eclair Bakery 2019
I love all sorts of desserts, but éclair is one of my top favorites. And this shop is definitely one of my favorite dessert spots in NYC. I have been here a handful times since when I first had their éclairs (you can read about them here: Eclair Bakery #1, #2, #3 ). But, it […]
TabeTomo

Tasting Collective is a dining club for food lovers, and they offer brunch […]
HARBS Chelsea
Ever since I first visited HARBS a while back, I have become a big fan of their cakes. I also loved their omelet sandwich too. We’ve enjoyed their cakes many times over since the first visit. But, we haven’t really had the chance to go back for another brunch. As I was checking a current […]
Bibble & Sip
This place has been on my radar for a quite a long time… I finally made it there for a quick snack! It was described on the wall that “Bibble” means to eat messily and hurriedly. And I love their tag line “BS all you want”… LOL! They offer hand crafted drinks, specialty coffee, baked […]
Happy Wheelie
I love Japanese taiyaki, and there are similar snacks from Japan and other Asian countries. When we went to have sum dim sum in Flushing, I found a place that sells “Taiwanese wheel cake” which are quite similar to Taiyaki, but in a round shape. It is located inside the small mall called Landmark Quest […]
GupShup
We went to an event here at GupShup, an upscale Indian cuisine, inspired by old Bombay. Still new, less than one year since they first opened their door. I was excited to see what they are all about, and sample some food! The restaurant is on the small side, it was quite busy on Monday […]
Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao
We do enjoy good dim sum every now and then. There are so many dim sum options in Chinatown, like Jing Fong and Golden Unicorn. However, some say that you must travel a bit further away, to Flushing, to get even better options, including better pricing, more dish offerings, and more authentic dishes. When we […]
Inwood Bagels
I am not a huge fan of bagels, unless it is a really good bagels… I saw this spot with great varieties of bagels, and it seems like a popular spot. So, we decided to check them out one weekend. It had a rather small storefront, but with signs right out side, it was easy […]
