Sweet Endings


Before leaving NYC for winter break, the infernal trio went to one last dinner in trendy Soho. Our last dinner was in Lure Fishbar. The stylish  scene and the mouthwatering food was a perfect end to the fall semester. Not to mention the sweetest ending with an awesome dessert. 

Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie & Warm Chocolate Cake!

Gems in Nolita

Awarded the Michelin Star, Public is definitely one of my favorite spots in Nolita. With its eclectic, exciting, and trendy atmosphere Public combines both the beauty of design & the richness of taste. NYC is known for its restaurants with high ceilings and industrial designs, and Public epitomizes this trend. Public restaurant is known for using special ingredients from New Zealand and Australia such as kangaroo, venison, and wild boar. Each plate is perfectly composed of a combination of ingredients that make this food a piece of art and food heaven.

Oysters & Lobsters

When in Boston,

No one can go wrong with East Coast oysters. East coast oysters grow in the cold water temperatures of New England. They tend to be brinier and meatier compared to West coast oysters. Not to mention they are my favorite!
There is also nothing better than the taste of fresh lobster in a lobster roll. The perfect roll with crispy fries and creamy coleslaw on the side... Perfection.
A super special treat on a Sunday lunch. There is no harm in indulging in seafood heaven.
