When is the best time to go to a very popular, super tiny ice cream shop? On a day that is snowing like crazy. Yup. I have been sooo wanting to go to Taiyaki NYC for a while, but I know they usually have lines, so I waited until the right moment. When the moment […]
I really enjoy dine-in theater, especially if it is a unique theater or dining spot. So far, Nitehawk and iPic Theater are my top favorites (you can read about Nitehawk posts here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/nitehawk-cinema/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/nitehawk-cinema-2/ and about iPic posts here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/ipic-theater-hudson-lights/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/ipic-theater-hudson-lights-2/).

Ever since I saw some photos of melted cheese being drizzled over yummy food from this restaurant, I have been wanting to go for a visit. About a year later, we finally gotten around to visiting them! It had crowd of people waiting outside for a table, but since we had reservation, we had no […]
I came across this restaurant without looking for it. Sometimes, you find something really good only when you are not looking for it…and lots of times, it turns out to be the best thing ever. I was hoping for this kind of outcome when we decided to go check it out. It is located at […]
I went for a nice business dinner a couple of months ago in New Jersey. It is in a restaurant offering contemporary American fare with Italian influences. The “Water” part of the name comes from the fact that it is located by a lake, with a beautiful view of the water. The inside was quite […]
At the beginning of this year, to improve and expand our dining experience further, I joined one of the dinner clubs in New York City, “Tasting Collective.” There are several members-only dining clubs out there, but I think this one is the best one, for its value and perks. Tasting Collective is a dining club […]
After we visited one bakery in Chinatown called Lung Moon Bakery (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/lung-moon-bakery/), we got curious enough to check out more bakery in that area. We found one called Kam Hing Coffee Shop that is famous for their sponge cakes. I was thinking “Really? Just sponge cakes?” But then again, […]
When you can’t go all the way downtown for a great, unique Thai food at Uncle Boons (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/uncle-boons/), you still find another Thai restaurant that serves more than boring, brown dishes elsewhere. In Upper West Side, Thai Market is one of the most popular spot for Thai food options. […]
Since their soft opening few weeks ago, we have been going to this lovely café almost every weekend. (You can read about my first visit here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/rue-la-rue-cafe/).

Once again, I returned to my favorite Italian restaurant in New York, Enoteca Maria with my mother and my husband (You can read about my previous post here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/enoteca-maria/). I discovered this lovely, wonderful restaurant almost 10 years ago, and I fell in love with everything that this restaurant had to offer; food, atmosphere, service, and […]
