One of the spot that I found during my research was also one of the recommended spots by locals. It is located at the CityScape, on the upper level. They have both stairs and escalators from the sidewalk. The main lobby area seems to be sharing space with the hotel right next door, Kimpton Hotel Palomar […]
When I attend a conference for work, I must say, the food provided at concession inside the convention center is…well, not great. So, I looked for a place where I can grab a lunch outside the convention center. The one that was nearby with raving review. I went over little before 2pm, without realizing that […]
During my business trip to Phoenix, Arizona, I got to explore the downtown food scene a bit. The first one I visited was The Arrogant Butcher, interesting name that came with high reviews. It was a nice weather, and they had a good amount of outdoor seating. I took these photos in the morning time, […]
A fun thing about any kind of holiday, big or small, is that they get their own special treats. During March, we went to get some fun green treat for St. Patrick’s Day. We found an enticing and tasty sign in front of Maison Kayser one evening, we decided to try it out. The […]
There is something about speakeasy that is so sexy and attractive…maybe it is the secrecy, or the mysteriousness of it, or just a simple joy of discovering a hidden gem. We enjoyed our dinner at an izakaya-style speakeasy in Philly called Royal Izayaka (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/royal-izakaya/). Then, we found another pretty […]

While we were traveling in Philadelphia, we saw this interesting sign hanging outside a red brick building. After a quick research, we found out this is a very unique restaurant. It comes with rich history, the building was commissioned as the City Tavern around 1773. What I thought was really cool was that in July […]
As a dessert lover, I have always been curious about this dessert festival, Dessert Goals. I didn’t get to purchase the ticket last year before all the ticket got sold out within minutes…so, this year, I was ready and I got the tickets! Also, they doubled up on their tickets, which helped as well. I […]
When we travel, we must find some good desserts/sweets! The best time to consume lots of sugar and calorie is in the morning (in my opinion), so we went to this cute little bakery & cafe serving French pastries, sandwiches, crepes & coffee for breakfast. We got there quite early in the morning, so there was no […]
