Ok, it is official, I am in LOVE! Well, maybe a close second to my sweet husband. But seriously, this brand-new spot, Maroni Hot Pots have won my heart with their amazing meatballs. I had whispers about their meatballs, and it got my curiosity all going, so I decided to go check it out. Once […]

Havana Central
As most New Yorkers, I am NOT fans of Times Square, so when I was invited to go to an event at Havana Central in Times Square, I was a bit concerned. The restaurants in Times Square don’t really have good reputation, as they are mainly for tourists (expensive food and not very quality food), […]
Óxido
I discovered this restaurant through an event, and boy, it was a great and tasty event! If you are (or were) a fan of Chipotle at any point of your life, this might interest you, as they have very similar concept. After being there once, I fell in love with the place (and the food, of […]
Papaya King
One of the most famous quick & cheap eats of NYC is Papaya King. I know there are other “Papaya” guys out there, like Gray’s Papaya Dog (founded by a former partner of Papaya King), and Papaya Dog, but I believe Papaya King is the oldest, and original. The history of this establishment is quite […]
Ichi Cellar
I discovered this hidden bar/lounge through a fun event. It is located underneath the IchiUmi, which I have been to once several years ago, and I was not very impressed. When I was looking for Ichi Cellar, I was surprised to find the location, but if you look at the name of IchiUmi and Ichi […]
Cafe Zaiya
One thing I love about Japanese cuisine is their sweets. They really do great job with pastries and all sorts of desserts. It is somehow more delicate, light, and never overly sweet. No matter which one you chose, you can almost be certain that you will get a great flavor. A quick background about Cafe […]
Caffè Storico #3
This is my third review of Caffè Storico. (You can see my previous reviews at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/caffe-storico-2/ & http://www.foodlovergirl.com/caffe-storico/) So as you can see, I like going to this restaurant for 2 reasons. Beautiful restaurant with good food, and the fact that it is inside a beautiful museum. I enjoy art, creating and seeing, so we were […]
Go! Go! Curry! Times Square
One of the best Japanese comfort food to me is Curry. It is tasty, savory, lots of different types, ingredients, veggies, and it is so good any season of the year. There is a small Japanese restaurant that does curry and curry only. They have grown to 4 locations in the city now. It is […]
Saggio #2
This is my second review of Saggio. (You can see my first review at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/saggio/) This place was so warm and tasty that we went back for more. They have hand-written special menu of the day, addition to their regular menu. What they offer on the special menu of the day is almost always recommended […]
Jacques Torres Chocolate
I love chocolate. I don’t understand the ones who say otherwise. How can you not love chocolate, am I right? A pastry chef, Jacques Torres, started a chocolate store in Brooklyn, where everything is made from scratch. It is one of my favorite “local” chocolate here in NYC. From all the cute and tasty little […]
