When we first visited this adorable and super awesome Speakeasy, The Little Shop for the first time, we absolutely loved it! So, when my mother and my niece were visiting us in September 2022, we decided to take them there. They were of course a bit confused when we took them to a small grocery […]
While we were in Japan over the winter holidays, we stayed a couple of nights in Tokyo. On our first night there, we were walking around, looking for a place for dinner. After going to a spot that has not opened for the new year just yet, we kept walking around, until we found this […]
Ever since we first visited Hotel Chantelle in 2016, we became fans of this spot. We especially love their rooftop dining. It has such fun and cute Parisian feel to it. We thought my mother and my niece would also really like this place, so we brought them for an early brunch in September 2022. […]
One of the fine dining places I took my mother and niece was the gorgeous Dowling’s at The Carlyle. They have several dining room options at The Carlyle, all beautifully decorated and unique on its own way, making the decision difficult. I went with the Dowling’s at The Carlyle since we needed the real lunch […]
One of our favorite spots to get some clothes would definitely be UNIQLO. We have gone to so many UNIQLO shops everywhere. While we were visiting Japan, my sister told us about UNIQLO COFFEE at the newly renovated flagship store in Ginza. The coffee shop opened in 2021, and I heard their coffee and snacks […]
This is one of the restaurants I selected when my mother and niece was visiting us here in NYC in September 2022. I was looking for a restaurant near the theater district, but not one of those tourist trap type places. The menu at Boqueria looked enticing, and it was close enough to the theater […]
While we were in NJ, we found this very popular restaurant called Blue Cafe. Seems like we are finding places with “cafe” in their names in NJ lately…such as Cafe HESED, and Cafe Lala. Let’s see how Blue Cafe is like, shall we? The place was packed with a handful of people waiting outside. Luckily […]
The very first restaurant we visited during our trip to Japan was a brand new restaurant callled Mokichi Kamakura. They are owned and operated by a Sake Brewery (how cool is that?), and this is their newest Mokichi location, just opened in December of 2022. My brother from another mother took us to this spot, […]
Since the pandemic, we haven’t really had the opportunity to take an advantage off of the Restaurant Week promotions. This winter, we finally got to try the Restaurant Week menu at Steak Frites Bistro. They offer bistro cuisine such as oysters, escargot, onion soup, and of course, steak frites. As soon as you step inside, […]
We found this lovely place called Cafe Lala in NJ when we were looking for a brunch spot in NJ. They opened not too long ago. They have some parking right in front of the cafe, and also behind the building from what I understand. It is a part of Lee Park Plaza, small outdoor […]
