Olio e Piú – 2023
Ever since we first visited Olio e Piú in 2017, we’ve become a massive fan of the restaurant. We returned again shortly after, and the experience was as great as the first time. When my family was visiting, I thought they would love this spot too. So on a rainy day, we headed over for […]
Bathtub Gin
If you read many of my posts, you know I absolutely love Speakeasy spots. We recently went to this fun place called Bathtub Gin in Chelsea. When you get to the address, you see Stone Street coffee shop, already closed for the day. But guess what, comes the magic hour, a staff will come out […]
Elsie Rooftop
There are so many great rooftop spots in NYC, I have been to a few, such as Sushi Lab Rooftop and Hotel Chantelle, and had a really nice time! This time, I found this spot called Elsie Rooftop for a Bottomless Brunch. I usually stay away from bottomless places, since they tend to water down […]
The Cauldron NYC 2023
Update: We went back to The Cauldron NYC only four months later, in late September 2023. I was shocked at how much changes they made to everything… The only thing they didn’t change was the decor. We could no longer choose which sandwich we wanted, and the portion was significantly smaller. The waitress was not […]
Momofuku Noodle Bar
We were lucky to go attend a fun event hosted by Momofuku Noodle Bar at their East Village location. They had this interesting large photo print at the entrance, I wonder what the story behind that is… As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed with warm smiles and nice drinks. The first drink […]
Inwood Farm
This spot has changed its name once or twice, and now it is called Inwood Farm. To be honest, we didn’t have the best experience in the past, under the different name/management, so we were a bit skeptical about the newly named restaurant. Still, we wanted to check it out since our friend had a […]
The Purple Tongue
We got to visit this lovely spot, The Purple Tongue, a winery that will turn your tongue purple with great tongue, and make you more social, just like a giraffe (with purple tongue, and known to be a social animal). How cute and creative is that name? We were there for a fun and tasty […]
Kalye
We had a tasty opportunity to try out some of the dishes offered at Kalye at an event. They opened in 2022, when the city and the world is coming back from the struggles of pandemic. It is described on their website that their name, Kalye, “comes from the Tagalog word for “street.” We chose […]
Set L.E.S. 2023
We first visited Set L.E.S. in 2020, and I remember how amazing the Bulgogi Burger was from there. We liked the fun and vibrant atmosphere, the food, and drink. Now in 2023, we finally got to revisit again. They now have a huge outdoor seating, with bright yellow chairs. It is fully covered, so you […]
