I heard a whisper about this little delightful sweet shop and cafe opened up in Inwood, just few months ago in March. I am always looking for a pastry shop that can really deliver the high quality, tasty sweets, so I went out there to check them out. It is an upscale and modern Pastry […]
I am so happy to see there are more bar/lounge place that are opening up for weekend brunch! This way, they get to show off their culinary skills, additional to offering bar food or small plates to accompany their cocktails or any yummy beverages. And, the best part is that I get to try them! […]
This is the second review of Beard Papa’s. (You can read my first review here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/beard-papas/) They are Japanese chain, and said to be one of the BEST cream puffs in the world. There used to be several locations in NYC a few years ago, but now, there is only one locations now. So, if […]
I am not a serious coffee drinker, but I like lattes and cappuccino and any other coffee creation every now and then. Especially if that place have good donuts. Then I am all in. I recently found one of those spots, Birch Coffee, with yummy looking doughnuts. They had me with their super cute chalkboard […]
One of my favorite Japanese restaurant in NYC is Bohemian. Not only they have amazing food, but they have the best setting for relaxing, calm, cozy, and beautiful dining space. They are exclusive (referral-only) East Village Japanese restaurant, hidden behind a butcher shop. No open table reservation or walk-in allowed here. You either have to […]

There is a new restaurant opening up in NYC almost every week. The best time to try them is when they are just starting up, before they get too popular and too busy. I found this new Japanese restaurant, without the name up on the awnings just yet. It is called “Chochin” and is an […]
I visited this lovely eatery, Jon Doe on another event. I must say, this place has never even been on my radar, but I was so happy that I got to attend this event, for I have found another awesome spot in NYC! As they are a “Bar and Kitchen,” they have extensive drink menu, […]
I love Izakaya, and have been to a few of them in NYC and in Japan. The thing about Izakaya is that they are mostly open for dinner or late night. If they are open during lunch, they have regular lunch menu instead of Izakaya style menu, which is more like tapas, or small plates […]
I am always looking for a “hidden” restaurant in NYC (or anywhere for that matter). When I found this place, I was very excited to visit them. Their name, Sakagura means a sake warehouse, so they have over 200 kinds of sake there, which is very impressive. They are more of an Izakaya which I […]
