Oh how I missed you my sweet, delicate, heavenly eclairs… Ever since I visited this amazing spot right at closing time (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/eclair-bakery/), I have been dreaming about their eclairs. I love eclairs, and I have had my share of disappointments with very small amount of filling, or not so tasty […]
This is the third Tasting Collective dining club event we attended. (You can read about the previous posts about Tasting Collective events here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/win-son/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/f-o-b/) I really love Tasting Collective!!! Tasting Collective is a dining club for food lovers, and they offer brunch and dinner at great NYC restaurants. They close off the restaurants for the club, […]
Even though I love cocktails, I don’t really go to bars for drink. I occasionally have a cocktail or two at dinner, but that’s about it. But, a place I do enjoy visiting is a speakeasy. Thankfully, New York City has many speakeasy bars that you can visit. Recently, I found another one called Apothéke. […]
When is the best time to go to a very popular, super tiny ice cream shop? On a day that is snowing like crazy. Yup. I have been sooo wanting to go to Taiyaki NYC for a while, but I know they usually have lines, so I waited until the right moment. When the moment […]
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 […]
This is my second review of Kitchenette, you can read about my first post here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/kitchenette-uptown/ Kitchenette is still a popular spot in this area, it is cute, good breakfast/brunch menu, and there are not many other brunch options around here. I always liked the way they look from the outside, with bright blue awning with […]
Ever since I saw some photos of melted cheese being drizzled over yummy food from this restaurant, I have been wanting to go for a visit. About a year later, we finally gotten around to visiting them! It had crowd of people waiting outside for a table, but since we had reservation, we had no […]
I came across this restaurant without looking for it. Sometimes, you find something really good only when you are not looking for it…and lots of times, it turns out to be the best thing ever. I was hoping for this kind of outcome when we decided to go check it out. It is located at […]
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 […]
After we visited one bakery in Chinatown called Lung Moon Bakery (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/lung-moon-bakery/), we got curious enough to check out more bakery in that area. We found one called Kam Hing Coffee Shop that is famous for their sponge cakes. I was thinking “Really? Just sponge cakes?” But then again, […]
