November 17, 2014 Momofuku Milk Bar
While we were waiting for our table at Momofuku Noodle Bar, we decided to take a walk over to the Milk Bar a few blocks away. Dessert before dinner? You bet. So we try the cereal milk shake which was tasty, not quite as sweet as I thought it would taste – more like cornflakes, […]

November 10, 2014 Morganstern’s
I recently spent the weekend in NYC and met up with my co-worker (and fellow foodie) Cathleen for dinner. She suggested that at some point during the weekend to head to NOLITA and try out Morganstern’s Finest Ice Cream. A modern take on the classic ice cream shop, Morganstern’s serves up some of the most […]

November 6, 2014 Momofuku Noodle Bar
The first seating for dinner at Momofuku Noodle Bar is at 5:30pm. We arrive at 5:40 and we miss the first seating – come back in an hour they say. So we pop over to the Milk Bar around the corner to pick up some treats while we wait. The restaurant is packed and it […]

November 3, 2014 Doughnut Plant
We have always hit up the Doughnut Plant at their flagship lower east side location, but since we were staying in Soho this time around, we decided to pay a visit to the Hotel Chelsea location just a few blocks away from our hotel. The walls are festively decorated with “doughnuts” and there are a […]

May 26, 2014 Macaron Cafe
Back from a recent trip to New York, I received a box of macarons as a gift. How cute is this flavor card? Macaron Cafe has 3 locations: MacarOn CafĂ©’s flagship store is located on 750 Third Avenue (between 46th & 47th St.), a second location at 59th Street between Madison and Park Avenues, and […]
November 29, 2013 La Parisienne
Located a quick step away from our hotel, we grab a quick breakfast at La Parisienne. It’s quite the old school diner, the place is a bit dated and could certainly be described as “no frills”. The booths are small and they are named after people. Our service is quick and the food is ok […]

November 5, 2013 Remi
We were exhausted after running around the whole day, so we decided to eat relatively close to the hotel. We happened upon Remi for dinner. They have a very colorful decor with high ceilings – really quite stunning. I liked that the bread basket had so many options. A little goat cheese spread for the […]

October 30, 2013 Lafayette
Located in Noho, we stopped into Lafayette for breakfast Monday morning. The morning was hot and muggy, and although the patio looked lovely, we chose to grab a seat inside. I love the retro feel of this place, the decor is top notch. I had really high hopes for this place. Service was good, our […]

October 17, 2013 Coolhaus
We were on a mad dash from our hotel on 58th to get to 53rd to get a CoolHaus sandwich before they closed up shop. Follow them on Twitter and give them the “word of the day” to get $1 of 2 sandwiches. I get the chocolate chip cookie with the lime ice cream. We […]
