One of the fun things to do in NYC during the holiday season is to go visit New York Botanical Garden. Why go to a botanical garden in a cold Winter? Well, they might not have all sorts of flowers blooming there, and their trees might not be full. So, what do they have? An […]
I was first introduced to tasty beer from Bronx Brewery at a super fun event called The Brew Hop 5K (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/the-brew-hop-5k/). At that time, we were encouraged to visit the brewery by our friend. It has been a several months since then, but we eventually got there! It was situated […]
I have had my eye on this place ever since I heard about them having some scrumptious fried chicken. I went for a visit during holiday season. Fried chicken and cold weather goes really well together, don’t you think? It was easy to spot, as it was colorful and vivid, without being too “loud”. The […]
One thing you might want to check out when you are staying at a hotel is there breakfast offering and quality. Not everyone has a really good breakfast that suits most everyone staying there. During the Thanksgiving holidays, I got to have a full continental breakfast at Hilton Midtown. They have Herb N’ Kitchen located […]
After visiting this lovely spot the first time, I did promise myself that I will go back again and again for more of their delicious treats…(you can read more about my first visit here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dominique-ansel-kitchen/) And since my mother was visiting, I thought why not introduce her to this delightful place! As we had a […]
Since my mother was coming for a visit during Thanksgiving holiday, I looked for an afternoon place that we haven’t been to. Then, I found a coupon for this spot called The House in Gramercy. We both like Gramercy, and with its interesting history behind it, I was very intrigued. Then, I found a coupon […]
I have been a fan of Cinnamon Snail for a while now. Even though I am not vegetarian or vegan, I know good food when I see it (more like when I taste it). I visited them when they only had operations out of a food truck, and then when they opened up a permanent […]
I enjoy going to the Yankee Stadium for the whole game experience. (You can find my other reviews on Yankee Stadium here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/yankee-stadium/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/yankee-stadium-2/) First thing we do when we get there is to go to the Monument Park, before it gets crowded. Once everyone start making their way over there, it gets […]
It certainly has been a hot Summer. What saves us from the heat? Nice air conditioned room, ice cream, beach…and then there is Italian Ice. We heard everyone talking about this one in particular, near Corona Park. On a weekend we were visiting the Corona Park, and had some nice water splashing our face from […]
After a nice, relaxing time at Harbes Family Farm (you can find it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/harbes-family-farm/), we decided to do some fun activity right across the street. What fun activity, you might ask? Strawberry picking! We saw a few “pick-your-own” places, but then we heard Patty was one of the best spot for strawberry picking. So, […]
