A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Great Italian restaurant.
We had a pitcher of the Prosecco Sangria. It’s sweeter than regular Sangria, which I definitely like better.
We also got house bread which we mixed with olive oil and parmesan cheese. Mmmm.
For my main course, I got the Lomo Cosenza. It’s this pork tenderloin dish with a sweet thick sauce. I cleaned the plate!
Started off my morning with a (hot) mocha. This place served it in an interesting way, where it is layered and in a cup I usually expect a cold drink to be in.
I also got this small croissant filled with Nutella (no picture). It was insanely good!
Went to this place as the last drinking stop of the night.
One highlight is that they have a page in there menu that talks about prohibition in the US, and if you shine a blue light on it, a secret drink shows up on it (it was called the red old fashioned). The secret drink was not that great though (because there was red pepper unit).
The main drink that was great (in both presentation and taste) was Beauty and the Beast. Look at the pic below!
The first drink I got was also pretty good (I forget the name, but it had white chocolate covering the rim, and some truffle mixed in it).
I normally don’t post about bars, but this one is an exception.
Basically they specialize in flaming shots. We got 5 of them (I only remember three of them).
The first one was the marshmallow shot, where we roast marshmallows and put out the flame in the shot before eating it.
The second shot we had was the the speedy potter (like Harry Potter) where we eat an orange covered in cinnamon, and then take a shot that was just lit on fire.
The third shot we got (kalashnikov) was a shot similar to the second, but it was with a lemon instead of orange.
The fourth shot we got (B-52) was a shot that was on fire, and then you would drink it out of a straw while it was on fire!
The fifth shot we got was the Lorenzo, where they basically light the shot on fire, they would put it out, then you would smell it, then drink the shot, then smell it again. The second time you would smell it, there is a strong kick.
Overall, this was an excellent place!
A great place to have tapas in Barcelona!
We ordered a bunch of tapas, but the highlights for me were the seafood salad, the clams, the calamari, and the second picture (not sure what it was called). The only thing I probably wouldn’t get again (although everyone else liked it) is the anchovies. But yea, I would get everything else again!
Many people also like the fro grois with beef (I thought it was ok).
Also, the sangria was refreshingly sweet.
We popped into this place before catching a show on Broadway that was at 7pm. Service here was fast, and we were out within an hour.
We ordered a bunch of dishes to share. The only dish I wouldn’t get again from below is the “Ramen” (I would barely call that dish a ramen… it was basically noodles and beef in soup). Everything else was great (although the Michelin recommended bun didn’t seem too special, but I would get it again).
Tried out this sushi-bowl place in lower midtown. I got their signature dish, the sichuan chili salmon. The location we went to was on 27th street (this place is a fast food chain in New York).
I could go to this place again, but one thing that I did notice is that the mayo sauce was kinda thick.
We checked out this place to catch up with a friend who now lives in New York.
Although the place was small, the food and drinks were great (not sure what drinks I ordered, but I did notice a bunch of Japanese whiskey on the wall).
The one dish we got that stood out (pictured below) is the Okonomi-Yaki. We also got chicken wings as well as a deep fried cauliflower dish (name??).
After lunch, we wandered around Korea Town for coffee and found this place.
I ordered a mocha and mochi waffles. The mochi in the waffles were hidden and subtle, which was fine since what I enjoyed the most was the Nutella and bananas.
We checked out this place in Korea town.
I ordered the short ribs. It came in a sweet sauce, and there was a good amount of meat (unlike the usual order or short ribs in a Korean restaurant). Also, the side dishes were great (is the salad, miso soup and this tofu dish).
Also, we saw David Schwimmer in this restaurant! A great reason to come back here 🙂
