At Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse Lounge; Mint Julep made with Bulleit Bourbon paired with Bacon wrapped scallops with couscous, bell pepper sauce
Last week I attended to Bulleit Bourbon paired dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in Midtown West. If you’ve recalled in my recent review (on my Easter gift guide), they create very [...]
A few weeks ago I’ve attended to Artisanal Cheese‘s hands-on mozzarella class ($110). Of all the classes Artisanal has, this is the only class where attendees can make, taste, and take home containers full of freshly made mozzarella. It’s educational, fun and you’re certainly bound to have a [...]
Exterior and Interior of Pie Face; Savory and Sweet Pies
I’m a big fan of pies. I don’t care if it’s sweet or savory. I’ll eat them all. This lead me to the Australian-based bakery Pie Face in Midtown West, about a block from the Sullivan Theater.

I had lunch with an employee of the Dinex Group (a press company owned by Chef/Owner Daniel Boulud) at db Bistro Moderne. As it was my first time there, this place struck me as the restaurant catered to the theater lovers (it’s pretty close to Times Square), business people, and ladies [...]
Several weeks ago, I asked my family if they would like to go out eating at Sesonal, the 1* Michelin-rated, Austrian restaurant that’s located in Midtown West. Everyone except my father could attend and we set the date back last Saturday. My reasoning was the fact there aren’t that many restaurants in Manhattan that serves [...]
Earlier last week, I went to BCD Tofu with my mom for lunch. She craved Korean food and I asked my best friend, Helen for suggestions a few days earlier (she’s Korean, so she knows what’s good), this ended up as the destination of choice. Admittedly, BCD is sort of on the hype end of [...]
Recently I’ve been invited to a Greek benefit dinner at Molyvos, whose meal frames around the Greek Orthodox tradition of Lent. Knowing what Lent is, I am a skeptic. I’m an omnivore who loves her meat and dairy. Frankly, I don’t think I can go a day without any dairy since I need a splash [...]
