I like finding a new coffee spot with almost a hidden area for relaxation, like The Chipped Cup. I heard Five Flies Coffee is one of those spots, and have been wanting to check this place out for a while, and the first visit several months ago, we have been going back a few times. […]
As we were looking at a brunch spot somewhere in DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights. And, I found a perfect place called Vineapple, on Pineapple Street. I know, what a cool name, right? They have a nice outdoor seating (for now), and a cute pineapple neon light at the window. Once you walk inside, there is […]
I know I still have a lot of catch up to do from my Japan trip…but, let me get back to NYC for a bit. If you had chance to read many of my blogs, then you know I love speakeasy spots, and hidden/neighborhood gems. Well, let me introduce you to this hidden gem cafe […]
While we were in Japan during the winter, we spend a day in Asakusa. After having a small-ish breakfast at Misojyu and walked around the vibrant streets of Asakusa, we were ready for some brunch-type food. We went during an off-season and off peak-time, so there was no line. Depending on the time and season, […]
There are so many great rooftop spots in NYC, I have been to a few, such as Sushi Lab Rooftop and Hotel Chantelle, and had a really nice time! This time, I found this spot called Elsie Rooftop for a Bottomless Brunch. I usually stay away from bottomless places, since they tend to water down […]
This spot has changed its name once or twice, and now it is called Inwood Farm. To be honest, we didn’t have the best experience in the past, under the different name/management, so we were a bit skeptical about the newly named restaurant. Still, we wanted to check it out since our friend had a […]
We first visited Set L.E.S. in 2020, and I remember how amazing the Bulgogi Burger was from there. We liked the fun and vibrant atmosphere, the food, and drink. Now in 2023, we finally got to revisit again. They now have a huge outdoor seating, with bright yellow chairs. It is fully covered, so you […]
I know, you are wondering why I am writing about the place that is now closed since we visited in January 2023? Well, they still have shops, pop up stores, markets, and park. You never know when they re-open the Moomin Cafe again! (Hoping and wishing bigtime here). We made it to the Solamachi location […]
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 […]
