Our last day in New York was a mad rush. There was much we wanted to do, but little time to do it all. So, after our early morning visit to Momofuku Milk Bar, we headed to Papaya King. … [Read more...] about Papaya King + Alaska Air EWR-SEA

Review: New York Sweets & Treats
Most of our Big Apple Adventure was free of junk food. Usually its because by the time we ate our amazing meals, we were too full or busy to get more food. But, during our final two days in The City, we made it a point to check out some New York Sweets. … [Read more...] about Review: New York Sweets & Treats
Review: Le Bernardin, a 3-Star Experience
Our trip to the Big Apple was all about the food for me. By this time, we've already had some GREAT meals at places like Noreetuh, Marea, and Sushi Nakazawa. But dinner at Le Bernardin was definitely the highlight of the trip for me. … [Read more...] about Review: Le Bernardin, a 3-Star Experience

Review: My Belly’s Playlist (Renaissance Midtown Room Service)
I really try not to eat within the hotel at which I'm staying. Usually, but not always, hotel food isn't all that great. Even if it is good, it is often fairly generic. Room service is even worst, and also incredibly expensive. But sometimes, you just can't help it. And this time, a case of the late-night munchies caused me to try the Renaissance Midtown Room Service. … [Read more...] about Review: My Belly’s Playlist (Renaissance Midtown Room Service)
Shake Shack New York: My Favorite Burger Joint
Who makes the best burger is a very touchy subject. I'd argue that discussions surrounding the subject matter can be even more intense than those concerning politics. And we all know how intense those discussions are now in the U.S. But, like many of that can appreciate a good burger, I keep a mental list of my favorites. Actually, I keep two mental lists, since it isn't … [Read more...] about Shake Shack New York: My Favorite Burger Joint
Big Apple Day 3: Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge
After a satisfying brunch at Jane, the wife and I headed out on our Big Apple Day 3 adventures. Now, we didn't really have any plans for this day. We were thinking about going to the 9/11 Museum, but that didn't happen. The metro line we took from Jane skipped the Cortland St. station and instead stopped at South Ferry Terminal. Since this is where you need to be for the … [Read more...] about Big Apple Day 3: Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge
Review: Jane Restaurant New York
Our third day in The City was a Sunday. So, what does one do on a Sunday morning? Brunch of course! Narrowing down where to go proved to be incredibly difficult. I don't even remember how we ultimately decided, but we chose to go to Jane Restaurant in Greenwich Village. … [Read more...] about Review: Jane Restaurant New York
Dining Review: Noreetuh New York
My dining philosophy when traveling is to avoid eating "local food," which is to say food I can get at home in Hawaii. There's nothing wrong with food in Hawaii, it's just that I prefer to experience a place through its food. It is a great way, after all, to try new things and experience different cultures. But while in New York, I decided to break my rule and booked us a … [Read more...] about Dining Review: Noreetuh New York
