During the summer, when things seemed like was getting better around NYC, we did managed to go out and have some fun around the city. One of the place we dined during that time was Coco Bistro, a French restaurant and a bar located in South Street Seaport. They have a corner lot, and they […]
I am a fan of Boucherie, and visited both Boucherie locations at West Village and Union Square. We had great experience and amazing food from both places. When they added another location named Petite Boucherie, we were more than excited to go try this location. As the name of the restaurant implied, the inside was […]
I had a pleasure of dining at their original spot in West Village about a year ago (you can read about it here : http://www.foodlovergirl.com/boucherie/). Now that they have a secondary location in Gramercy Park, we went to check it out. The restaurant was easy to spot with bright red awnings. The inside was astonishingly […]
We first visited Bastille Day celebration last year in 2016, and had a super fun time at their Champagne and Chocolate Tasting event (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/bastille-day-festival/). Bastille Day, also known as French National Day, is a holiday celebrating the beginning of the French Revolution and the Storming of the Bastille. This […]
If you are a fan of Eataly, European food/groceries, or French food/groceries, then head over to Boorkfield Place near World Trade Center for Le District. It is basically a French version of Eataly. If you have the time, you can go visit both Eataly downtown (you can read more about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/eataly-nyc-downtown/) and Le […]
It is always interesting to visit “the oldest” establishment, such as restaurant. I feel like they either stay completely authentic, or become a tourist spot, losing its authenticity. I found one of those “oldest” kind, the oldest French bistro in the Theatre District. It was founded in 1948, and still owned and managed by the […]
One of the most interesting movies I’ve watched is called Amélie. It is such a cute, strange, adorable and weird story and characters! Well, I found a restaurant called Amélie, which is a modern wine bar/lounge with French flair. The inside decoration was…well, unique. It had white cloth loosely hanging on the black-colored ceiling, with bright red […]
My weakness is desserts, and if it is Japanese or French, then that is it, I am done! I once heard a chef on a TV said that the best dessert he has ever had was a French dessert done Japanese way in Japan. I can totally understand that… However, while in America, I can […]
I have been wanting to go to Lafayette for some exquisite, upscale French-inspired desserts for a long time. We finally got to make our way over to this sweet heaven. It had a really large outdoor seating, more than most other restaurant, and they had big blue sunbrellas to keep customers cool. The inside was […]
Macaron has always been some sort of fancy, classy, upscale sweets in my mind. Since its popularity exploded several years ago, it has become more familiar, with much easier access. It also brought great amount of colors and flavors, some creative, some unusual. Everyone has their own opinion on which place has the best macaron […]
