We went to Uproot back in May of 2022. Yes, I am still trying to catch up! We needed a place for lunch, and this spot looked like a great one. We didn’t have a reservation, but since it was a weekday, it was not busy at all. They had a nice high ceiling, with […]

Alimama Tea
Since we love good Cream Puffs, this spot has been on my radar for a while… We finally got to check it out! It is a small spot, with an outdoor eating area right in front. The artwork on the outdoor eating area was colorful, really cute and comical. The inside was equipped with several […]
Çka ka Qëllu
We recently went to Çka ka Qëllu, a rustic restaurant offering modern Albanian and Kosovan dishes. I knew they had Bronx location, which seems to be even more authentic when it comes to the interior and atmosphere. But then again, the NYC location is easier to get to, so we tried the NYC location. The […]
Contento
This is another awesome Tasting Collective dining club event we attended back in March 2022.

Tasting Collective is a dining club for food lovers, and they offer brunch and dinner at great NYC restaurants. They close off […]
Salvatore’s Ristorante
The last restaurant we visited last fall before we headed back home was Salvatore’s Ristorante. I say we did great job finding amazing restaurants during this trip, such as Beach Road Restaurant and The Pawnee House. We did, however, had some not-so-great dining experience as well, which I will not mention… We were hoping for […]
The Pawnee House
Still trying to catch up with the Martha’s Vineyard spots we visited last Autumn… After having a great dining experience at the Beach Road Restaurant, we were ready for more! We found this lovely place called The Pawnee House, named after a historic grand Victorian Hotel with the same name. It is located at where […]
Kitsby Café
Anyone who knows me knows how much I enjoy afternoon tea. I have been to so many afternoon tea locations, and I still can’t get enough! The last place I tried in NYC was Prince Tea House in East Village, and it was great! This time, we headed out to Brooklyn, to Kitsby Café. They […]
Delicious MV Bakery
During our visit to Martha’s Vineyard last fall, we made sure to stop at an ice cream shop for a nice little relaxation time. We have been to Scoop Shack in Edgartown when we visit Marta’s Vineyard in 2019, but this time, we were looking for ice cream shop in Vineyard Haven. We found a […]
Sugar Hill Creamery
It is getting hot in the City! Well, it is still not that bad, but soon, it will be 90-something-degree everyday… On those days (or any day, really), the perfect little pick-me-up is hands down ice cream in my opinion! There are hundreds of ice cream spots in NYC, like Taiyaki NYC and Tipsy Scoop, […]
Il Fiorista
Every time we walked by this spot, they always caught my eyes with beautifully decorated outdoor seating areas. But yet, we never went in to see what they were all about. One weekend, we finally had the opportunity to have a brunch here. The outdoor seating pods didn’t have much of any elaborate decorations at […]
