  • Long Awaited Post: Park Avenue Autumn with Ryan Boyd!

    Long Awaited Post: Park Avenue Autumn with Ryan Boyd!

    So what else would I be doing on a Friday summer night in Manhattan? BLOGGING OF COURSE. With the television on the show ABDC (America’s Best Dance Crew) whilst cleaning the bathroom, I realized that it is about time for me to blog. Clearly I have not achieved my goal of blogging once a month…

  • Mountains of Ice!

    Mountains of Ice!

    I know spring has only begun, but that doesn’t mean we can’t think and crave summer foods right? One particular ingredient pops into my mind: Shaved Ice. Ice is such a versatile ingredient when it comes to creating a delicious dessert, especially when consuming it under the hot, humid sun, nothing is quite like how…

  • A Slew of General Deliciousness

    A Slew of General Deliciousness

    Okay since I am having trouble writing about ONE particular restaurant/bakery/eatery, I figure this entry can be about a myriad of places that have one common trait: tasty food. I will name some “must-haves” when in New York, though this definitely is not a complete list whatsoever. What is this, you ask? Let me introduce…

  • New Year: Bring It On!

    New Year: Bring It On!

    2009 is here! Bring on the new year, and hopefully better luck than the last. As I sit here, blogging because I am currently un-staffed, it gives me the chance to devote myself to writing about my delicious food experiences. As I’ve noted before I know I’m pretty bad at updating this blog but I…

    Just in Time to Reminisce about Winter Restaurant Week…

    Yes, you read the title correctly. I’m going to write about Winter Restaurant Week. I know, I know, summer restaurant week is just around the corner but I think it’s good to note that there are both GOOD and BAD experiences associated with dining during this promotion. Not to mention I can’t afford to eat at…

  • Lan: Fusion Japanese Done Well

    Lan: Fusion Japanese Done Well

    I’m always hesitant about Japanese food in the city. There are a lot of Japanese restaurants out there, and majority of them I am not often too impressed with. Either the quality of fish is lacking (reflective in the price), or it’s so expensive that I wouldn’t dare step in (i.e. Maru, 15 East, Blue Ribbon…

  • Brunch Edition: Dos Caminos & 202

    Brunch Edition: Dos Caminos & 202

    I love brunch. The idea that you can get something sweet like pancakes or savory like eggs all in one meal. Marvelous. Plus there are usually delicious (and probably strong) drinks involved. I don’t really indulge in that, but the fact that it’s there is a wonderful concept. Dos Caminos (Soho) 475 West Broadway I’ve…

  • Casa Mono…Yes or No?

    Casa Mono…Yes or No?

    So, I’ve been getting into tapas bars recently so naturally Casa Mono came up on my list. This is one of Mario Batali’s restaurants, and it’s also where the 2nd season of Top Chef, Ilan Hall, cooked prior to winning. I would pass by this place everyday walking home from NYU campus when I lived…

  • Review: Pearl Oyster Bar

    Review: Pearl Oyster Bar

    Yes, I know it’s been a while since I’ve last blogged…but I’ve come back with reviews! There have been many MANY great eats with my beloved pictures, so stay tuned to my food journies. =) I more frequently update my flickr account so definitely check that out too. Pearl Oyster Bar Neighborhood: Manhattan – West Village…

  • Burger Thursday + Late Saturday Brunch

    Burger Thursday + Late Saturday Brunch

    Thursday, February 1. Corner Bistro is where my friends and I trek to, even in such cold weather for lunch. Located in the West Village, it’s a great place to have a simple All-American meal – burgers and beer. Despite the fact that by accident, my friend spilled beer all over my stuff & me (which…
