A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Went to this speak easy on a Monday night in NYC. Being a Monday, no line.
I was pretty impressed that the speak easy is behind this hidden wall. And it’s disguise as a coffee shop. Also the place is Tesla themed (the inventor).
I will say service was a bit slow, but the menu looked pretty sick (like an engineering notebook from Tesla).
Got a Strawberry magic (it’s like an Aperol spritz, but tasted more orangey). Also got Toki on the rocks.z
Overall yea, like mentioned, would come back.
Went to this place for a late lunch in the Baixa neighborhood. They have a lot of local Portuguese food. Ended up eating sushi at Confraria do Sushi (thought process is that Lisbon is known for seafood, so why not try it!)
Also, this market has a dedicated Aperol Spritz stand! Definitely took advantage of that.
We went to this restaurant for our first dinner in New York in NOHO.
Overall, great Italian place an vibe. Would come back here again.
For drinks I mainly got an Aperol Spritz. For food, we shared several appetizers, and also each got our own main (not 100% sure what most things below are called, but would heat each of them again).
We came here for dinner on our first night in Mykonos.
For drinks, got an Aperol Spritz. For appetizers, we shared a Greek meatball dish called Soutzoukakia. It tasted like a traditional meatball dish, but still pretty good. Also got some fried feta. It was alright, but prefer mozzarella sticks.
For my main, got penne with salmon. It was great, and again, great portion size.
While walking from Thira to Oia, we stopped by this place for lunch (city called Imerovigli)
Aside from the service being a bit slow, this place was great (from the food to the view).
For drinks, got an Aperol Spritz and a latte.
For appetizers, got some spreads (tzatziki and a salmon spread… really loved the salmon spread), as well as tomato fritters.
For the main course, got the spinach ravioli.
Stopped by this place for brunch for our second day in Spain.
Again, they didn’t know what a mimosa was (I should literally walk around with orange juice so I can add it to Cava, which literally is champagne), so I ordered an aperol spritz.
For the meal, we ordered a mixed salad, Jaman croquette and garlic shrimp. Gotta say, the garlic shrimp was awesome. Would order everything again, but still calling out the shrimp.
We stopped by the rooftop bar in Madrid. Music was fire. (Basically big room progressive house).
Drinks were ordered through a QR code (needed to order them one by one). Basically got an Aperol spriz e and a Sangria). Prices I think were a bit high for Spain, but really like the wine of the place. Would go back.
An Italian food market great for drinks and, well Italian food and pastries. (There are also locations in Vegas and Paris, but this one is about the New York).
This is located at the World Trade Center building 4. Definitely great for Aperol Spritz and making your own cannoli (made mine with cow’s milk, and ciocolatto, which is 70% chocolate).
Next time I really want to try the pizza and/or pastas.
We grabbed lunch here after shopping at Dubrovnik Shopping Minceta.
I ordered the Lasagna, and I gotta say it tasted alright (not as good as Carmen’s in Tisno). Also ordered the Aperol Spritz, and it was what I expected from Europe (not too bitter). Overall, wouldn’t not come back here again lol.
We went to this place from a recommendation from our AirBnB host. It was super cheap, but probably wouldn’t come back here again.
I ordered the Tagliolini di Casetello and an Aperol Spritz. The Aperol Spritz tasted what I would expect from Europe (it is supposed to be less bitter in Croatia), but the Tagliolini has too thick of a sauce (and was just ok in taste).
