This is a hidden gem in Riverdale, New York. A bit far to get there from the center of Manhattan, but it is so worth the trip for a nice, quiet relaxation. It is a 28-acre estate overlooking the Hudson River. The estate has two houses and a botanical garden, but much, much smaller than Brooklyn […]
We like visiting an old diner that has been in business for a long time, with lots of loyal local customers. We found one in Brooklyn when we visited Brooklyn Museum. This diner is family owned operated since 1936! And yes, is quite popular among the locals and alike. We were excited to get some […]
I get cravings for good Japanese or Japanese-esque food when I am traveling. While I was in Boston, I looked for a good Japanese type restaurant, and this one seemed the most interesting to me. I as started to walk towards the location of the restaurant, I realized I was walking into China town. So, […]
We love it when we find a brand-new spot that just opened up recently. This wine bar opened a few months ago, and since we really enjoy a good glass (or bottle) of wine, we went to check it out. They offer natural wine and genuinely seasonal dining, hence, their menu for both wine and food […]

One of the breakfast place that I really wanted to visit while I was in Boston was Mike & Patty’s. They had photos of super tasty looking sandwiches, and yes, with rave reviews. I finally had the time to visit them right before I had to go back home to NYC. It was at a […]
We were looking for a breakfast spot in the Bay Ridge area in Brooklyn. To my pleasant surprise, they had many great options! Out of all the attractive places, we narrowed it down to this spot. They actually have several locations, all in Brooklyn. They do state that they are “Born & Raised in Brooklyn.” […]
Brooklyn has so many new and interesting restaurants opening up everywhere, it is not easy to keep up. When we tried to go to one of the very popular restaurant, it had a very long wait… So, we decided to look up a different spot, and easily found several options nearby. The name of the […]
While we were in Boston, we found an interesting Japanese eatery called Yume Ga Arukara. The literal translation of that is “because I have a dream.” It is located inside the Lesley building at Porter Square. They have some shops and other eateries in the inside. They all share a public rest room. Yume Ga […]
We were looking for a place to grab some dinner one evening, and we found this spot. We were actually planning to eat elsewhere, but they had crazy long wait, and this place was less busy, so… We still had to wait but only about 10-15 minutes of wait. The inside is not so big, […]
