Have you ever wanted to spend a weekend just eating and lounging? Heck, that sounds like every weekend for me, but I’m usually the one cooking and cleaning. It’s nice to get out and have someone do the cooking and cleaning for me, and it’s even better when they make me feel right at home …
* Before you continue reading, do not judge my pictures in this post. I forgot to take my beloved Sony G-Lens camera, so all of the pictures were taken via my iPhone 4S (they didn’t come out THAT bad!) I haven’t written a Restaurant Review in a while, not because I’m lazy but because I’m …
People here (NYC) aren’t really deprived of a good drink. But from time-to-time you can come across a bad bar or overpriced dilluted drink. From my experience (and of course a little help from older, cooler siblings), I’ve narrowed down a few places that I think serve good drinks, and drinks that are worth the …
About 2 weeks ago, my boyfriend and I decided to dine like the rich- well, at least feel rich during restaurant week! If you don’t know what restaurant week is (which I hope is not the case, because it’s awesome and should be taken advantage of!!), it happens 2-3 times a year, where upscale Manhattan …
I graduated college in May 2010. Ever since May 17th, I’ve been home in Staten Island, NY. Now, to some people coming back to their “parents” home is a drag and no fun. However, I still refer to my home as MY home, not my parents. According to my philosophy, it’s still my home until …

But, as my title states, contrary to popular belief, Starbucks is NOT unhealthy. However, I can’t say the same about Gloria Jeans. What I can say is that I am a LOYAL …
A few nights ago my family and I (mostly my mom and I haha) had a craving for Mexican food. But sometimes during a hectic week, one doesn’t really feel like cooking and cleaning. That’s when we head to Jose Tejas– good, fast CHEAP, and awesome Tex-Mex cuisine. I’ve eaten at many, many Mexican restaurants …
Ever since I was a child, my family and I have been fans of eating out. My parents like to diversify their weeknight meals by changing up the type of food we eat- it’s not always Indian! So I’m used to eating out a lot, and I think that’s trained me to make healthier decisions. …
Staten Island is known for having the most Italian restaurants amongst the 5 boroughs, and they’re all delicious! However, there is one that stands above the rest- Goodfella’s. Growing up in NYC, I have tried my fair share of pizzas, pastas, sauces- you name it! Goodfella’s has the BEST marinara sauce BY FAR. They are …
