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. […]
Rue La Rue Café #2 – CLOSED
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/). Instead of having so many updates, I decided to combine the last several visits into one. It has constantly being really busy, with its fun theme, good food […]
Enoteca Maria #2
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 […]
Lung Moon Bakery
When I think of Chinatown in New York and the food that they offer, the word that come to my head is “affordable.” This is not just the restaurant or grocery stores, but also includes bakeries. We ventured out to a local bakery in Chinatown called Lung Moon Bakery in a midst of (heavy) snow, […]
Uncle Boons – CLOSED
When you think of “Thai food” here in the US, most of us would think “Pad Thai” or “Pad See Ew” or some kind of noodle or rice dish. Most of them brown with typical sauce that they put on it. Sadly, most of us have become so numb to the typical offerings that we […]
Catch NYC
Before the Restaurant Week ended, we went to another seafood restaurant for Sunday Brunch. It was on 9th Avenue, but we didn’t really see any sign for Catch, but as we checked more closely, we found a sign that said to use the entrance on the 13th street. Then we finally saw their sign on […]
STK Midtown
Ever since I visited STK Orlando (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/stk-orlando/), I have been a fan of their food. And, my husband has been jealous of all the great dishes that I had. So, when we saw that they are a participating in the Restaurant Week, we made a reservation right away. They […]
Inakaya – CLOSED
I have been wanting to go to Inakaya ever since they opened up in Manhattan in 2009. But, I heard that are kind of pricey, so I have not had made my way there… then, the Restaurant Week came and saved the day. It is always good to try these expensive restaurant during restaurant week. […]
Delmonico’s
When you think of real, classic restaurant of all time in the US, Delmonico’s should come to your thoughts. It is THE first fine dining restaurant in the country, opened in 1837 by Demonico brothers. This is where the Delmonico Steak, Eggs Benedict, Balked Alaska, Chicken A la Keene, and Lobster Newburg were created. Yes, […]
Nobu Next Door – CLOSED
I love Restaurant Week in NYC. With so many restaurants participating, you get to discover a new restaurant during these weeks. We selected several restaurants from the list, and Nobu Next Door was the first one up. We made a reservation for Friday evening, and we were very excited to try their food. The inside […]
