Before I knew how big of a chain this restaurant is, I went to visit one in Texas. Then, I found out they have locations in over 25 States, including NYC! This restaurant never really came up on my radar until I visit Fort Worth, TX… The interior was large and spacious, with lots of […]
The Ribbon
We went to this spot for a tasty event. This restaurant was not under my radar, so it was good to discover a new spot. It had a simple, modern exterior, nothing too fancy but elegantly done. The first area at the entrance is more lounge-type dining set up, with a bar next to it. […]
Breakfast Club
A good breakfast spot that opens early is not as easy to find as it should be…but I successfully found a good spot here in Phoenix, Arizona. I first wondered if this is some kind of exclusive restaurant, as it is called “Breakfast Club” but I believe it is for any breakfast lovers. Thank you! […]
The Black Rooster Cafe
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 […]
SUGARFISH by Sushi Nozawa
I have been wanting to try out this sushi spot for a while, we finally got to go during lunch time. They do not take reservation, which makes it a bit difficult, especially since this is a popular spot. We got there after the lunch rush, so we didn’t have to wait too long before we […]
The Arrogant Butcher
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, […]
Maison Kayser
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 […]
Double Knot
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 […]
Even Stevens Sandwiches
When I traveled to Phoenix Arizona, I made sure to do some research on restaurants in the downtown Phoenix to make sure I have a delicious trip! The hotel I was staying at had a handful of dining options inside the hotel, but none of them stood out. So, I started with breakfast spots nearby […]
Patisserie Chanson
My fun research for afternoon Tea in NYC continues… I found this lovely spot who focuses on the art of dessert making, which is a song to my ears. Afternoon tea at a serious dessert spot? Count me in! The only thing is that they do not take reservation, so we decided to go there […]
