We visited Da Andrea at their Chelsea location for an event a month ago, and we had a pleasant experience there. We got to try some samples of their small bites, and some cocktails, and we enjoyed everything we had. This time, we went back to try their regular dinner menu. The exterior has bright […]
While we were walking around Chelsea, we decided to get some dinner. We found this restaurant called City Winery in Pier 57. It is kind of a T shaped restaurant, with the front part mostly empty, with the back area more full. We got there early so it was not as busy, but about the […]

I know I still have a lot of catch up to do from my Japan trip…but, let me get back to NYC for a bit. If you had chance to read many of my blogs, then you know I love speakeasy spots, and hidden/neighborhood gems. Well, let me introduce you to this hidden gem cafe […]
We found this newly opened dessert spot called SALSWEE, offering French style desserts and Viennoiseries, as well as some savory items like sandwiches. They are said to be an expansion of Chinese bakery in Flushing Queens called Shakalaka Bakery, but the menu offering is quite different. I would say the owner decided to open up […]
We had one of the best foods from MIFUNE New York. The Executive Chef, who is an acquaintance of my gourmet sister’s best friend. Everything we had was so good, we went back for more, and then again! I took my mother there while she was vising us here in NYC, and also, my in-laws. […]
Another great place we went in the Fall of 2023…Amuse Bouche Bistro! I was looking for a more casual place, and I found this lovely spot. But, I must admit, I was a bit confused as I approached the address. I didn’t see a building or anything that could like a small restaurant or an […]
We have been to Patisserie Chanson a few times, and to the Dessert Bar (CLOSED) below a few years ago. The space that used to be occupied by the Dessert Bar is now a hidden, a cocktail speakeasy lounge! While my family was here, I decided to take them there. There was a somewhat not-noticeable […]
I am back at writing about the places we dined several months ago… Better late than never! I found this spot called Riverpark while I was looking for a nice restaurant with a view of the river. I thought my mother and my niece will enjoy it. The location was not as easy to access, […]
When you have out-of-town visitors, there are a few places that might be interesting for them. It might be a bit tourist-y, which usually means pricey and not very tasty dishes. Well, I might’ve found a pretty good spot! It is Cipriani Dolci, inside the landmark, Grand Central Terminal. Cipriani has many, many locations all […]
