After we visited one of the real, authentic Thai restaurant in NYC called Uncle Boons (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/uncle-boons/), we wanted more of that unique, tasty, delicious, authentic Thai food. So, we went to another very popular spot, Pok Pok in Brooklyn. They offer food from Northern Thailand. The first thing we saw […]

F.O.B.
This was the second Tasting Collective event that we attended. After the wonderful event at Win Son (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/win-son/), we were excited to go to this event. F.O.B stands for Fresh Off the Boat, and is a Filipino BBQ restaurant. Tasting Collective is a dining club for food lovers, and they […]
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema
I really enjoy dine-in theater, especially if it is a unique theater or dining spot. So far, Nitehawk and iPic Theater are my top favorites (you can read about Nitehawk posts here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/nitehawk-cinema/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/nitehawk-cinema-2/ and about iPic posts here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/ipic-theater-hudson-lights/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/ipic-theater-hudson-lights-2/). I have been waiting for this new theater, Alamo to complete construction and open up in Brooklyn for a […]
Win Son
At the beginning of this year, to improve and expand our dining experience further, I joined one of the dinner clubs in New York City, “Tasting Collective.” There are several members-only dining clubs out there, but I think this one is the best one, for its value and perks. Tasting Collective is a dining club […]
Museum of Food and Drink
Museum is a great place to get some education, relaxation, and appreciation of the arts. But, when a museum is about food and drink, it can get to the whole another level of education and fun! I have been waiting for such museum for…well, forever! So, I was so happy when this one opened up […]
Ocean View Cafe
As we browsed through the Russian restaurant options in Brighton Beach, we made our decision on this small restaurant on Brighton Beach Avenue. They didn’t look flashy, and had no obnoxious “only for tourists” vibe (expensive bad food) to it. We didn’t want to go to a tourists spot, but where actual locals (Russians, Ukrainians, […]
Mile End Delicatessen
We are fans of Mile End at their Manhattan location. While visiting Brooklyn on one weekend and looking for a brunch spot, we happily discovered that we are nearby their Brooklyn location. We head over to the delicatessen right away. The exterior was very modern, sleek, and clean look to it. No extra fancy decoration, […]
Cheryl’s Global Soul
One thing I look forward to on weekends (other than fun plans and a little R&R) is the brunch. I feel that the brunch time brings such a nice, relaxing time to have a good breakfast items from nice restaurants. Thinking about brunch makes me smile for some reason. It is such warm, cozy feeling, […]
Little Cupcake Bakeshop
I like desserts, and I love really awesome desserts. So, I am always looking for a good dessert spots. I first visited Little Cupcake Bakeshop several years ago, at their Manhattan location. I remember the cheese cake was really good, and I remember it was pretty busy. I have been to the Manhattan location a […]
Jus by Julie
If you are thinking of dieting or losing weight, or simply wanting to be healthy for the new year, doing a juice cleanse can be a good way to jump start. I usually do juice cleanse once or twice a year, and I have been relying on Jus by Julie since the very beginning. There […]
