When I think of Cuban food in NYC, the place that comes to mind is Havana Central in Times Square. I was lucky enough to attend a delicious event there in several years ago, and another even the following year. We discovered another Cuban spot called Sophie’s Cuban Cuisine. They have several locations, and we […]

BÀO Tea House
I enjoy going to dim sum places, and always order some sort of steamed dumplings or Bao. You just can’t leave without having one or both of them! I’ve had some tasty ones from Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao, Yaso Tangbao, Jing Fong Restaurant, and Golden Unicorn. The bao offered at the BÀO Tea House is […]
A-Crepe
For many people, “Chinatown” in New York means the one in downtown Manhattan. But, if you ask the people who knows about the “REAL” Chinatown, they will tell you it is in Flushing, Queens. We were just starting to explore more eateries and restaurants before the Pandemic hit. You can find some great dim sum […]
Butler
When we ventured out to DUMBO one early Saturday morning, we found ourselves looking for a nice spot for breakfast/brunch nearby. After doing some research, we found Butler with tasty looking menu. They have more than one locations, and one of them were very close by. So we walked over to check them out. We […]
Flipper’s
Ever since the popular Japanese pancake shop, Flipper’s came to NYC, I have been wanting to go and try their famous soufflé pancakes. But, they always had a long line, and I was waiting until the line is much shorter, or better, no more line. We finally got to go to Flipper’s, with no line, […]
Thai Diner
One of the Thai restaurant that we really enjoyed in the past was Uncle Boons. They were very popular and with its small interior, it was not easy to get a seat on a busy night. Unfortunately, they closed its door permanently during the pandemic… The sister restaurant, Thai Diner has survived, and they offer […]
Konbini – Temporarily Closed
Ever since they officially opened toward the end of 2019, I have been wanting to visit Konbini. The name “Konbini” comes from a Japanese term, shorten from “Convenience Store” like Seven-Eleven. If you ever been to Japan and visited one of many convenience stores there, you know how awesome they are! If you haven’t then […]
Burger Heights 2020
We first tried Burger Heights in 2017, and we became a fan of their burgers and shakes. Dining out during the COVID time has been tough, and therefore, we haven’t really gone out to eat as much this year. Same for food deliveries, we don’t usually get deliveries to begin with, and that part didn’t […]
Maison Pickle #3
Since our very first visit at Maison Pickle, it has become our instant favorite. We did go back the second time to see if it all just a delicious dream, and they proved to us that they are indeed real! So, it was only fitting that we made time to dine here right before NYC […]
HARBS Chelsea #3
I’ve been to HARBS on 3rd avenue, and HARBS in Chelsea, and we find the Chelsea location better, since their menu seems to be bigger, and it is somehow more relaxing. We took others there at HARBS Chelsea several month ago, and they enjoyed the food and desserts as well. We really like their lunch […]
