We went to a grand opening of the Grand Bazaar NYC, weekly market located on the Upper West Side. The great thing about this market is that the profits from the market donates 100% of its net revenue to four neighborhood public schools, benefiting over 4,000 children by providing them with art enrichment programs, books, supplies, […]
This is the second review of this sweet spot (you can read my first review here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/chocnyc/), we had to go back get some more sweet goodness. This time, I was going for their eclairs. They looked glittery gold sweet jewel in the refrigerated show window. We chose Pistachio and Chocolate Éclair ($3.75/each) to go so […]
It is always interesting to visit “the oldest” establishment, such as restaurant. I feel like they either stay completely authentic, or become a tourist spot, losing its authenticity. I found one of those “oldest” kind, the oldest French bistro in the Theatre District. It was founded in 1948, and still owned and managed by the […]
While I was doing some extra research on Cape Cod for a colleague who was going to visit for the first time, I found a hidden gem for myself as well. I always enjoyed visiting wineries and vineyards, and trying some of their wines. I found a lovely winery in Upper Cape, called Cape Cod […]
One of the most interesting movies I’ve watched is called Amélie. It is such a cute, strange, adorable and weird story and characters! Well, I found a restaurant called Amélie, which is a modern wine bar/lounge with French flair. The inside decoration was…well, unique. It had white cloth loosely hanging on the black-colored ceiling, with bright red […]
I enjoy going to the Yankee Stadium for the whole game experience. (You can find my other reviews on Yankee Stadium here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/yankee-stadium/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/yankee-stadium-2/) First thing we do when we get there is to go to the Monument Park, before it gets crowded. Once everyone start making their way over there, it gets […]
My weakness is desserts, and if it is Japanese or French, then that is it, I am done! I once heard a chef on a TV said that the best dessert he has ever had was a French dessert done Japanese way in Japan. I can totally understand that… However, while in America, I can […]
Since we had such great food at Sakagura the last visit specifically for their lunch special (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/sakagura/), we went back for more! We went on a different day of the week, as their special lunch menu is weekly menu. Again, they only serve it 30 a day, and at […]
It certainly has been a hot Summer. What saves us from the heat? Nice air conditioned room, ice cream, beach…and then there is Italian Ice. We heard everyone talking about this one in particular, near Corona Park. On a weekend we were visiting the Corona Park, and had some nice water splashing our face from […]
I have been wanting to go to Lafayette for some exquisite, upscale French-inspired desserts for a long time. We finally got to make our way over to this sweet heaven. It had a really large outdoor seating, more than most other restaurant, and they had big blue sunbrellas to keep customers cool. The inside was […]
