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 New York #3
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 […]
Wave Hill
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 […]
Tom’s Restaurant
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 […]
Mad Hatter’s G&T Party – Pop Up
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 […]
Cocoa Grinder
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.” […]
Fumo Pizza-Bar-Pasta
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, […]
Boucherie Park
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 […]
Oscar Wilde
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 […]
Izakaya Mew
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 […]
