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 […]

The last tasty spot my gourmet sister took us to was a fun dinner spot called Tsukishima Monja Moheji. People nowadays might know one of the traditional Japanese comfort food, Okonomiyaki. We can get them in NYC too, from a spot like DokoDemo. Monja is similar, but it is not solid as okonomiyaki. You will […]
Around the Christmas holiday season, we went to The Glass Onion in Cape Cod for dinner. It was a cozy restaurant, smaller than I thought it would be. The inside was relaxing atmosphere with earthy tone. They had a fully stocked bar near the entrance. Since we had a reservation, and it was not busy […]
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 […]
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 […]
I found this lovely spot from my parents in 2019. I was so looking forward to revisiting Kamameshi Hana when we return to Japan. Finally after a long wait due to pandemic, we got to go back to Japan and to Kamameshi Hana! Japan is still very careful with the virus, so most people are […]
After having an awesome breakfast at Junkissa PanEsu, we looked for a lunch spot that is as awesome. We walked by Tokyo Tarako spaghetti a day before, and it was packed with people waiting outside. We went over around 11am, and it was still quiet. The entrance is on the second floor, so we walked […]
One of the fine dining places I took my mother and niece was the gorgeous Dowling’s at The Carlyle. They have several dining room options at The Carlyle, all beautifully decorated and unique on its own way, making the decision difficult. I went with the Dowling’s at The Carlyle since we needed the real lunch […]
