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 […]
This is another awesome Tasting Collective dining club event we attended.

This is my second review of this Shake Shack location. (You can read about my first review here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/shake-shack-uws/) We went back to this location for a very specific reason: to get their limited time only shakes! Will & Grace-themed shakes!!! They have two kinds of shakes in honor of the return of the show. One […]
If “Foodllovergirl = sweets” and “Summer = cold, icy treats” then what do you get? Gelato! We headed over to Popbar in West Village for some of their Popgelato. They have been on my radar for a while, but haven’t really gotten around to visiting…until now! The inside is pretty small, just enough room to […]
This is my third visit to this dessert heaven. (You can read about my previous visits here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/eclair-bakery/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/eclair-bakery-2/) They still have all the yummy looking freshly baked goods and desserts… I hope this place never closes down! And of course the eclairs… I am so glad we don’t live near here, as we would be […]
So, we are back to our favorite themed cafe, once again! (You can read my previous visits here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/rue-la-rue-cafe/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/rue-la-rue-cafe-2/ ) Actually, this is for the last two visits combined. Since they have expanded their hours and menu, we wanted to try a few items that we haven’t tried yet. Another new thing is that they […]
