I am not a serious coffee drinker, but I like lattes and cappuccino and any other coffee creation every now and then. Especially if that place have good donuts. Then I am all in. I recently found one of those spots, Birch Coffee, with yummy looking doughnuts. They had me with their super cute chalkboard […]
One of my favorite Japanese restaurant in NYC is Bohemian. Not only they have amazing food, but they have the best setting for relaxing, calm, cozy, and beautiful dining space. They are exclusive (referral-only) East Village Japanese restaurant, hidden behind a butcher shop. No open table reservation or walk-in allowed here. You either have to […]
If you love good cup of coffee, Hugh Jackman, and using your money for good cause, then this is the coffee shop to visit! Many says that they have the best coffee, latte, and espresso in NYC, and I might just agree with that, and that is coming from a non coffee lover. Yes, I […]
There is a new restaurant opening up in NYC almost every week. The best time to try them is when they are just starting up, before they get too popular and too busy. I found this new Japanese restaurant, without the name up on the awnings just yet. It is called “Chochin” and is an […]
I visited this lovely eatery, Jon Doe on another event. I must say, this place has never even been on my radar, but I was so happy that I got to attend this event, for I have found another awesome spot in NYC! As they are a “Bar and Kitchen,” they have extensive drink menu, […]
I love Izakaya, and have been to a few of them in NYC and in Japan. The thing about Izakaya is that they are mostly open for dinner or late night. If they are open during lunch, they have regular lunch menu instead of Izakaya style menu, which is more like tapas, or small plates […]
I am always looking for a “hidden” restaurant in NYC (or anywhere for that matter). When I found this place, I was very excited to visit them. Their name, Sakagura means a sake warehouse, so they have over 200 kinds of sake there, which is very impressive. They are more of an Izakaya which I […]
I had an opportunity to attend an event held at Harlem Nights, and it was lots of fun. I don’t really venture out to that area, since it is not really easy to get to via subway, but I wanted to check out this new bar-lounge venue. I gotta say, it was pretty easy to […]
I am a fan of Starbucks beverage and food, but not a fan of their crowded space. So, when they opened an upscale shop called the “Reserve” where they offer specialty coffee line also named the Reserve in a not-so-crowded area in Chelsea, I was happy to go check it out. Even thought they have […]
I love desserts. That’s it. Can’t live without them. It is a curse bestowed upon me since I was a baby (or that is my excuse for eating them). When I heard about this unique donuts shop, said to be “NYC’s most creative doughnuts,” I had to go pay a visit. The “creative” part is […]
