Dinner at Plan B Restaurant – A Creative Tapas Restaurant in Nolita

Plan B signage and interior

Plan B restaurant is an eccentric, tongue-in-cheek kind of tapas restaurant that sticks out from other tapas restaurants. Some menu items are familiar but have a certain twist the makes it different (like their take on a Cubano sandwich) and some are offal cuts that not many [...]

Dinner at Jo’s in Nolita, NYC

Interior of the dining room; Glasses of Anne Pinchon Rosé and The Narcissist

Jo’s is not a stranger to me, as I’ve eaten and written about this restaurant almost three years ago. Thinking back what I ate then and compared to what I had a few nights ago, the interior didn’t change [...]

Toby’s Public House: Exterior, Wood fire brick oven and menu

Over this long weekend, I visited Toby’s Public House in Manhattan’s Nolita for brunch with a friend.

It’s relatively new location, as they expanded from their South Slope, Brooklyn location. Inside is a rustic, homey kind of restaurant where there’s dark [...]

Dinner at Ken and Cook – A Good Neighborhood Restaurant

Outside at Public

Standing outside the breezy, insanely cold Sunday morning, I was invited by Hagan to join him on his ambitious food project called 93 Plates. Partially, I was regretting saying “yes” to drag my butt out of my warm bed but I refuse to [...]

A Morning Rush to Work

I know I haven’t written in ages, but it’s just the fact that I haven’t really found anything tasty around the Upper East Side that is new to me. Sure, there’s Alice’s Tea Cup and a few Le Pain Quotidiens around my area but seriously, why should I write repeats of myself? Yeah, I do [...]

Surviving the Major Chunk of Midterms: Bouchon, Grandaisy, Prem-On Thai

For the past week, I had three midterms and a ten-page paper due, all crammed within four days. I was suffering with stress that I want to scream in vexation due to my aching head. Isn’t college life just awesome? At least I survived the roughest week and there’s a little sprinkling of tests for [...]
