During the summertime, we had an opportunity to visit the Little Carribean neighborhood near Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Here, we found this lovely spot called Aunts et Uncles, a plant-based, vegan friendly restaurant. They are also a cafe, bar, and even has a retail space. We heard great thing about their offerings, so we decided […]
The last spot to highlight from our Japan trip this past winter, is Takeno to Ohagi. A place to pick up traditional Japanese sweets, Ohagi, also called Botamochi. It is made with glutinous rice, white rice, and sweet azuki paste. The cooked rice is coated with thick azuki paste by hand. It usually looks like […]
I am back at writing about the places we dined several months ago… Better late than never! I found this spot called Riverpark while I was looking for a nice restaurant with a view of the river. I thought my mother and my niece will enjoy it. The location was not as easy to access, […]
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 […]
The last spot we tried during our trip to Marco Island was Sami’s Pizza & Grill, who offers all sorts of dishes, range from Breakfast to Dinner. They also offer pizza, as their name suggests. We just wanted some pizza for the family to have at home, so we called and placed our order, and […]
I love visiting a botanical garden, of all sizes and collections. And in my opinion, the food offerings are better than what you get at, say, a zoo such as Bronx Zoo. I had a lovely Afternoon Tea at Wave Hill, which is kind of a secret menu. The café at NYBG is a-ok, not […]
This is another awesome Tasting Collective dining club event we attended.

Since the City is trying to go back to somewhat “normal” life, I know many of us are thinking of losing the horrid pandemic weight… No more “lounge wear” and back to fabulous clothes, or REAL work clothes. And they might be a bit tight for some reason…they must have shrunk during the pandemic! Healthy […]
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 […]
I have always been curious about Maman, I knew they had really good baked goods items, and I do like having all sorts of baked goods… But, they do offer more than just baked goods, it is a popular spot for brunch and lunch. We happened to be very closed to one of their locations, […]
