At the height of the “food hall” craze, which actually lasted several years before the pandemic, we gained many food halls across NYC. We have Turnstyle Underground Market, The Pennsy, Essex Street Market, and so many more. The latest news before everything shut down was The North End Food Hall, all the way up in […]
For the last few years, I have been hearing and seeing more “flagship” stores coming to NYC. Which is a bit surprising, as flagship usually requires large space, and NYC is very tight when it comes to real estate…but there is always opportunities for business who wants to have their flagship store in the heart […]
Since we didn’t really venture out much during the pandemic, we haven’t cry visited Brooklyn for over a year. This fabulous and cozy little café, Ciao Bella Coffee seems like the right spot to go for our first visit to Brooklyn! They have been opened for about a year, which must have been tough to […]
Ever since the popular Japanese pancake shop, Flipper’s came to NYC, I have been wanting to go and try their famous soufflé pancakes. But, they always had a long line, and I was waiting until the line is much shorter, or better, no more line. We finally got to go to Flipper’s, with no line, […]
Ever since they officially opened toward the end of 2019, I have been wanting to visit Konbini. The name “Konbini” comes from a Japanese term, shorten from “Convenience Store” like Seven-Eleven. If you ever been to Japan and visited one of many convenience stores there, you know how awesome they are! If you haven’t then […]
We first tried Burger Heights in 2017, and we became a fan of their burgers and shakes. Dining out during the COVID time has been tough, and therefore, we haven’t really gone out to eat as much this year. Same for food deliveries, we don’t usually get deliveries to begin with, and that part didn’t […]
Since our very first visit at Maison Pickle, it has become our instant favorite. We did go back the second time to see if it all just a delicious dream, and they proved to us that they are indeed real! So, it was only fitting that we made time to dine here right before NYC […]
After having a fun brunch with friends at Vinatería, we walked around the Central Park and Morningside Park to burn some calories. Then, we decided to get some desserts nearby. We decided to check out The Hungarian Pastry Shop, popular among any and all writers, for some sweets. It was crowded, but we managed to […]
I love having a brunch burger. Well, I do have a weakness for most burgers… I saw a photo of a tasty burger from Set L.E.S. somewhere, which was totally drool-worthy, so we decided to go check them out for a brunch. We arrived a few minutes before they opened, and there were handful of […]
We visited Vinatería for brunch about a month ago. They offer upscale Italian- and Spanish-influenced dishes. We went there right when they opened, so it was almost empty. They had a large bar right at the entrance, with a real chair instead of bar stool chairs. The inside was actually a bit smaller than I […]
