We went to Harlem Public when they had some special menu for just one week. We went on the second day to order the “secret” menu items; taco, burger and a drink. They had a nice outdoor space, and for a Tuesday evening, they had a good crowd going. Inside was a bit dark, and […]
I really do enjoy going to a Speakeasy or a bar that has the Speakeasy-feel to it. If you are not familiar with the term, The Honey Well had its definition on their sign: An illicit liquor store or night club inconspicuously located. They also had an example “Honey Well “doesn’t” serve cocktails *Wink, Wink*” […]
I heard that the original Capitol Diner was the oldest continuously opened restaurant in this neighborhood. The diner has been operating since the early 1920s, but with current and modern era and its crowd, the diner has changed its face and its owner. I never visited the old diner, but we decided to check out […]
We went to Terravita almost a year ago, when it was still rather new. We decided to go back to see how they are doing, and if they have something interesting on their menu. We started off with Iced Coffee ($3). It came in a nice size glass, not too big nor too small. It […]

We were looking for a place for light dinner one evening, and found this interesting spot. The entrance is down the stairs from the street, almost hidden a bit. The entrance area was marked with a large nautical-looking compass on the ground. The inside felt like you are on some kind of large, old ship. […]
There are so many pizza shops in NYC. Ones with history, ones with huge slices, ones with unique toppings…you name it, we have it. We recently visited a pizza shop with an interesting name, “&pizza” (and pizza). They have three locations in NYC, and we went to the newest location on Wall Street. The small […]
It has been 25 years since the first episode of Friends aired on TV, and came into many our lives. To celebrate, they set up a fun pop-up in NYC! We went to the 20th anniversary event too, which was a Central Perk Café with a looooong line. This time, they had timed tickets! I […]
Ever since I heard about the news of this Japanese restaurant opening in NYC, I was so excited to visit and try the unique dining experience this place offers. Just few months before their one year anniversary, I finally got to visit them for the first time! What is so unique about this restaurant? Well, […]
One of my favorite comfort food is grilled cheese. I love the classic kind with just the cheese, and I love all the creative or fancy kinds too. Luckily for me, there is a shop that offer all sorts of “melts” dishes, like Chicken Melts, Burger Melts, and of course, Grilled Cheese! They have many […]
