We wanted to get some upscale, fancy Indian dining, and I found this spot. It was said to be kind of a hidden gem, and I could see why. On the day of our reservation, we walked right pass it, and couldn’t find it! It has very “quiet” sign, not super noticeable. Some may say […]
Le Baratin
Since the very first I had Croque Madame many years ago, I have been a big fan. I have had many Croque Madame at many different restaurants/cafes. Some good, some not-so-good, and some amazingly delicious ones. It is just such a nice, comforting dish, especially for brunch. Few months ago, I found this French bistro-cafe-bar […]
The 41-70 – CLOSED
When one door closes, another will open…which could be said for restaurant also. When one restaurant closes, sometimes another, brand-new restaurant opens up. And we just hope it is a good one, or better than the previous one. Here, on Water Street in Cape Cod, we found just the spot. This place used to be […]
iPic Theater @ Hudson Lights
Going to a movie is always fun, especially to a dine-in theater. I have been a fan of Nitehawk Cinema (you can read about them here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/nitehawk-cinema/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/nitehawk-cinema-2/) in Brooklyn, with interesting movies, events, and good food. I recently heard about this brand new movie theater, who is determined to provide you the “ultimate” movie […]
Wahizza
I always get excited when there is a brand-new restaurant or eatery opening up. So, when I first saw the sign that said “Pizzeria coming soon” I decided that I will be the first one (or, more realistically, “one of” their customers) to be there on the day they open. The week before they opened, […]
Chola
I have been wanting to go to an Indian buffet, and there are many restaurants that offers just that, but I wanted to find a one with high review. During my research, I came across this restaurant Chola, which seem to have a pretty good rating. The exterior is surprisingly modern, and it looked kind […]
Mary Ellen’s Portuguese Bakery
I love finding a local hidden gem, so hidden that some of the other locals might not know about! This popular spot is hiding behind a Dairy Queen, and has that very cozy, friendly, home-y feel to it. A great spot for breakfast and brunch, especially if you like those home cooked or diner-like food […]
Cafe Katja
This place has been on my radar for a while, and after attending a fun event in Lower East Side, we decided to head over for dinner. It didn’t have a large, visible sign, but instead, it had an intricate metal sign. It brought out antique feel to it, I liked the old-fashion style. They […]
Doughnut Plant
I love sweets and I do have a weakness for doughnut, as most of people I know. I hate it when people post a beautiful photos of super yummy looking doughnuts, and then I see that the store is somewhere really far away… When I first heard about Doughnut Plant few years ago, I was […]
Aangan
We met up for lunch with one of our friends who has been a New Yorker for almost 90 years. When we asked about a good Indian restaurant in his neighborhood, this is where he recommended. When a foodie who is nearly three times your age recommends a restaurant, you trust it! So, off we […]
