A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
First bagel place that I’ve tried in New York.
Got a ham and swiss bagel near midtown west. I had it with the “everything bagel” (apparently it’s a common bagel that has seeds of various spices like onion, garlic, etc). Definitely enjoyed the bagel, but next time would probably get it not toasted.
Had a glavlocks bagel at this place (hoping it would taste as good as Ivan’s locks bagel). Unfortunately it did not meet expectations. Also had the minestrone soup. It was too think and would not recommend. O well.
If I did come here again, I think I would try their steak and cheese (a picture in the restaurant was posted, only which I saw after I was done eating).
This place was recommended by our AirBnB host. It had mostly American food, and it was pretty meh. Got a pizza with mushrooms, pepperoni and cheese, and wasn’t the biggest fan. for a drink, got Four roses (wanted to keep it simple.
We went to this place for a late lunch.
I originally wanted to get a seltzer (from tap), but they ran out. So I got a sampler of longboard IPA, as well as the wailing wheat beer. Both are what I expected from the beers.
For lunch, tried the margarita and Hawaiian pizza. The margarita pizza was pretty bland, but the Hawaiian pizza had a bbq sauce twist to it, and was pretty good.
So this is actually a grocery store (a chain in exclusive to Hawaii), but decided to grab a poke lunch from it (we went here to shop for Thanksgiving).
I got the seaweed salad and the California roll poke. Gotta say, neither were that good (now I know).
Went to this fancy restaurant as the last dinner of my New York trip.
For starters, we got the seafood appetizer platter. Could not go wrong with it.
For my main, got the braised beef. Also a great choice.
For dessert, got the apple crumbled with ice cream. Also great.
Nothing bad to say about this restaurant’s food (my first cocktail though I didn’t like so much, but their old fashion made up for it).
Had to stop by this place for a snack, and of course got a shake and fries. Fries were great, and the shake was also good (got the coffee flavored ones). I did notice though that all the flavors are actually colored white. Hmm.
Grabbed lunch at this American Asian restaurant.
We got the dim sum platter plus the fluke crisp as an appetizer. Gotta say all the dishes were pretty awesome (although very Americanized).
Went to this fancy restaurant for the first night I was in NYC.
From the starting bread, to the mushroom cheese pizza, to the steak, to the chocolate cake with chocolate mint ice cream, the food was really good. Also, the merlot went great with the food.
We got brunch at this place in Austin.
I would go back (as they have mimosa carafes), however, they completely did not have my order lol.
For brunch, I ordered crab cake and egg Benedict’s. I modified the eggs to be scrambled. However, they did not have the crab cake, so they replaced it with sausage.
