PJ’s BBQ, Saratoga Springs

I have sung the praises of PJ’s BBQ before on this blog, but I can never get enough of it so I’m assuming you all can’t either. Fun fact: it used to only be open during the summer (track) season but...

Sunday Brunch at Bistro Nora, New York

I have quickly and unintentionally created a brunch tradition with Kiyo and our friend Tanner, who also graduated from Skidmore and lives in New York City. Every Sunday, one of us chooses where to eat...

Rum Fire, Honolulu

These pictures are pretty bad since I was using my phone outside in the dark the night we first went to Rum Fire, but the bar itself is not bad at all. On the weekends it turns into a bass-thumping...

Strange Food Saturdays, St. Patrick’s Day Edition: Green Ketchup at Burger King

On St. Patrick’s Day last year, Kiyo and I drove all the way back to Saratoga Springs from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It was quite the trip and we were sad to miss out on the usually rowdy holiday;...

Brunch at The Local, Saratoga Springs

Now that I no longer live within a mile of all my friends and am therefore no longer involved in Sunday Dinners, Sundays seem like a good day to talk about brunch. Kiyo and I ate brunch once at The...

10th Avenue Cook Shop, New York

When my dad visited this October, I was in the middle of helping coordinate a multi-day event for one of our clients at Milk Studios in Chelsea. My dad came by to check out the event and afterwards we...

Arepas Cafe, Astoria

A very unfortunate nuisance has occurred: our refrigerator is broken. On Sunday when I was on my way back to the city from a weekend in Saratoga, Kiyo texted me that our fridge didn’t feel very cold....

The Bun Truck, Santa Monica

When I went to visit my sister in Santa Monica, we had our whole Saturday planned out: breakfast at the hotel, shopping at the Third Street Promenade (and Brandy Melville!), beach / Santa Monica Pier,...

Honolulu Burger Co. (I already covered them in another post) opened a new location closer to my house in Hawaii, across the street from Kahala Mall. When I was home for the holidays this year, I took...

Brunch at Spring Street Natural, New York

I’d heard good things about Spring Street Natural, which I’d passed by after brunch at Jack’s Wife Freda. One Saturday Kiyo and I met up with some friends (Chelsea, Flavia and Mikayla) for brunch at...

What I Ate Wednesday: New York

It’s been a while since I’ve done a WIAW post! Either I forget to take pictures or I’m too busy to do so. Finally, this Monday I remembered and stuck with it all day. Here’s what I had: Breakfast:...

Strange Food Saturdays: Tenerife

This is possibly one of the least-appetizing pictures I’ve ever posted on eyechow. And when you hear what that brown sludge consists of (pork fat – you can see the white chunks – flour, oil and/or...

What I Ate Wednesday: New York & Astoria

Another hump day, another WIAW! Breakfast was a gluten-free English muffin with Cinnamon Swirl peanut butter from Peanut Butter & Co. (it has raisins too!). These Ezekiel muffins aren’t as good as...

Dinner at Waverly Diner, New York

Even though it’s a family holiday and an American tradition, I haven’t been home for Thanksgiving since 2007. Last year, Kiyo and I ditched the cold and escaped to Jamaica for an amazing long weekend....

The Counter, New York

I’ve written about the chain restaurant The Counter before, but that was the Hawaii version. Since I’m a sucker for saving money / deals / free things, when I found out you could get a free order of...

Brunch at Rèst-âü-Ránt, Astoria

Kiyo and I live on the edge of Astoria and Long Island City, which allows us to experience the best of both worlds but also means we’re sort of suspended in no-man’s-land. The rest of civilization is...

The County General, Toronto

As I said in my 2013 recap post, I don’t make New Year’s resolutions. However, about a week into this new year I did end up making one: stop spending so much money! I know that sounds detrimental to...

Lunch at the Ritz Carlton, Montego Bay

If you read the blog regularly you already know that the Ritz Carlton where Kiyo and I spent Thanksgiving in 2012, in Montego Bay, is now closed. However, that doesn’t stop me from daydreaming about...
