Idol

We went to this restaurant for our first dinner in Santorini. It was recommended by our AirBnb host.

In terms of atmosphere and view, I really liked this place. Got some great sunset pictures here.

For drinks, tasted the Macallen Amber for the first time (apparently it is a different type of “line” from the regular macallen). Honestly, couldn’t really see why it’s worth more than a Macallen 12.

For appetizers, we got the mixed salad, fried calamari, and Greek carpaccio (which is made out of sea bass instead of beef). I’d order all of them again.

For the main, got a lobster pasta. Also really good (although a bit El dente).

Overall, would come back. However, the group might feel a bit different because they didn’t like the service (and gave no tip).

The William

Went to this place for some fancy drinks in New York City.

The one thing about this place is that it’s small, so getting a reservation ahead of time is recommended. We were, however, able to put our name down (for 3, and sitting at the bar), and waited for 1.5 hours (but waited at Park Avenue Tavern, which was close by).

For drinks, got something called Bad Love (very similar to an old fashion), and also tried the Tuna tar tar. The drink was good. The tuna though was not super fresh.

Itaewon Pocha

Visited this bar in Korea Town in New York. It is sorta hidden since it is on the second floor of a building, and the stairs to get to it are a bit hidden.

This place has excellent drinks and good. Got a strawberry soju and a whisky sprite (yea, pretty standard). For food, got vegetable dumplings and something called tofu in hell (it’s a sweet spicy sauce). Both great.

Wanted to get some more things that were on the menu, like some sort of traditional rice cake dish or bulgogi dish. I’ll be coming back.

Terminal F

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.
