I have been patiently waiting for this café to open up since last Fall. Today, I finally got to visit them during their Soft Opening period. I am still not sure when the hard opening would be, but for as long as I got to go in, who cares when the hard opening is, right? […]
Museum of Food and Drink
Museum is a great place to get some education, relaxation, and appreciation of the arts. But, when a museum is about food and drink, it can get to the whole another level of education and fun! I have been waiting for such museum for…well, forever! So, I was so happy when this one opened up […]
Jing Fong Restaurant
I am sure there is a favorite Chinese dish for everyone out there. But, to me, the greatest creation of Chinese cuisine/style is Dim Sum. It is like tapas of Chinese food. You get to have small amount of dishes, one after another, until you are fully stuffed with yummy goodness. A really nice way […]
Tung Thong 181
It is always to fun to check out kind of a new restaurant. We found this Thai restaurant that was still kind of new, and since we like Thai food, we decided to check it out. It is hard to miss with that bright orange colored awning against a very white wall. The inside was […]
Orwasher’s Bakery
When I heard about an old fashion bakery with 100 years of history, I had to many my trip up to Upper East Side. It is called the Orwasher’s, and was founded in 1916! A Hungarian immigrant family started the bakery for the immigrant community, and has been passed on from generation to generation of […]
The Palm West Side
I always thought of The Palm as “soooo New York City!” The exterior doesn’t look like much, but as soon as you walk in, you are greeted by tons of caricatures on the wall. They feature everything and anything that is Theater, as they do lots of pre and post broadway show meals. They also […]
Socarrat Paella Bar @ Chelsea
I love Spanish food, especially Tapas and Paella. And guess what, so does my hubby and my mother. While my mother was visiting us, she wanted to get some good paella. Who can blame her? There has been this Paella Bar that I have been wanting to go to, so we decided to go during […]
Grand Central Oyster Bar
I first visited Grand Central Oyster Bar with my mother almost 10 years ago. Since then, I had the pleasure of visiting them several times, including their super fun Oyster Frenzy event. The Oyster Bar first opened its doors in 1913, where it used to be an old and rundown train depot on the lower level […]
Tanner Smith’s
I like a place with history, or place that incorporates history in their own way. I found this place that provides fun Brunch called the Tipsy Tea, where you get a choice of entrée and a choice of one spiked teapot, containing two servings of cocktails. The price of this Tipsy Tea themed Brunch comes at […]
Gingerbread House Kit @ Costco
Yes the Christmas season is over. But, maybe this could be helpful for the next Holiday season! In 2015, we bought a gingerbread house kit from IKEA. It was around $10, and the box came with pre-cut gingerbread that you had to put together. I have never tried to build a gingerbread house before, so […]
