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 […]

Tasting Collective is a dining club for food lovers, and they offer […]
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. […]
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 […]
I went to a fun and tasty event at one of Dos Toros location in NYC, at 40th and Madison. This location is still relatively new, modern look with clean lines and spacious room. The super high ceiling adds to the spacious feeling, as well as light earth-tone and mirrors, creating more open feel to […]
I am always looking for a new restaurants who serves delicious food. In New York, there is a new restaurant popping up all the time, it is hard to catch them all. Recently, I was invited by this lovely “mom and pop” Italian restaurant to try some of their food in Brooklyn. I love Italian […]
I hope everyone had a fun Memorial Day weekend! We have done many fun things over the years during the 3-day-weekend, but one of the top, best, and most delicious experience we’ve had was at Maison Premiere. They have a bit of Speakeasy feel to it, since there is no actual sign, other than the […]
I first discovered Tabe Tomo when I went to the Tasting Collective event. It was such an awesome experience, with so many delicious and high quality food, we just had to go back. And, we knew a couple who would totally appreciate their food too, so we decided to make it a fun double date. […]
I love well-crafted, high quality, and fancy cocktails. I prefer cocktails over beer, wine, and even bubbly. The whole history, creativity, and art of making cocktails are fascinating to me. I attended a fun event at a furniture showroom in SoHo, a mixology class! At the event, they had two mixologists (a.k.a. bartenders), teaching us […]
