When we travel to Japan, we usually use Japan Airlines (JAL). I know some people prefer other airlines, but JAL has been good to us… You can read about our past experience in 2015, 2017, and 2019 also. We flew to Japan at the end of the year 2022 and came back after the New […]
Ruby’s Cafe
We went to have a brunch at one of the Ruby’s Cafe at Soho location last summer. Yes, I am still catching up from last year… They don’t take reservation, and so there might be a little wait when you go there during the peak time. The SoHo location is the only spot we’ve visited, […]
Cafe HESED
We go to NJ for grocery shopping at some of the Asian Supermarkets. One of them is H Mart in Little Ferry, and there is this lovely spot called Cafe HESED that serves breakfast, lunch, desserts, and other light bites. We started to go there in April of 2022, relatively soon after they first opened. […]
NUAGE ET VENT
After about 3 and a half years later, we finally were able to go back to Japan! It was a long time coming… And yes, we had some amazing meals in Japan! One of the best culinary experiences we’ve had was at a restaurant called NUAGE ET VENT, which means Cloud and Wind. The name […]
Emily
I have many loves when it comes to food. One of which is a good burger. For that reason, Emily has been on my radar for a long time. You might think that they are more of a pizzeria, and yes, they do offer pizza, and obviously pizza loves Emily according to their cute neon […]
Uproot
We went to Uproot back in May of 2022. Yes, I am still trying to catch up! We needed a place for lunch, and this spot looked like a great one. We didn’t have a reservation, but since it was a weekday, it was not busy at all. They had a nice high ceiling, with […]
Alimama Tea
Since we love good Cream Puffs, this spot has been on my radar for a while… We finally got to check it out! It is a small spot, with an outdoor eating area right in front. The artwork on the outdoor eating area was colorful, really cute and comical. The inside was equipped with several […]
Çka ka Qëllu
We recently went to Çka ka Qëllu, a rustic restaurant offering modern Albanian and Kosovan dishes. I knew they had Bronx location, which seems to be even more authentic when it comes to the interior and atmosphere. But then again, the NYC location is easier to get to, so we tried the NYC location. The […]

Sushi Lab Rooftop
If you’ve read my blogs enough, you will know my love for Speakeasies, like the The Little Shop and The Honey Well in NYC. There are other Speakeasy type of spots, which are more of a restaurants rather than bars. Sushi Lab Rooftop is kind of a Speakeasy restaurant, as it is a bit hidden […]
