with the birthday girl The idea behind Ikinari Steak  is to serve super thick high-quality meat quickly & economically. Therefore people stand while consuming their steaks.  It’s a fun, interactive, communal & brand new experience for New Yorkers. They have storage bins under the table for your convenience.  Please don’t forget to ask staff to put a cloth on your belongings  so that you can keep them clean while enjoying our steak. BUT--- we went to their new Midtown location & this one is a sit down. But for me, it is a pro not a con. Ikinari Steak is a Japan-based standing steak restaurant chain owned by chef  & restauranteur Kunio Ichinose.  It opened in Tokyo in December 2013. It is a booming hit in Japan  with 187 locations (by the end of 2017) including over 60 locations in Tokyo City alone.  200 more locations opening in 2018.  Steaks are cut to order, cooked...

Spot is a dessert bar like no other. Traditional confections are re-imagined & spiked with dose of Asian flare.  They use unique ingredients like Green Tea, Kobacha, Yuzu & more.  Spot Dessert Bar is truly one of a kind. It is fun to bring friends at Spot for the first time as it is a fun place to have desserts. Our friend came to the city from upstate NY to pre-celebrate her birthday  & we decided to bring her to Spot for desserts. We ordered the 4 Tapas Special (it was too much for 4 of us as we were kind of full from dinner)  This is the most famous dessert as it is so cute! The Harvest -layers of berries, soft cheesecake, meringue kisses, oreo crumbs (which is the “soil"!), raspberry sorbet, black rose milk tea (use to water the “plant"!) Milky Puff -warm puff pastry, milk ice cream, corn flakes, brûlée banana, whipped cream, white chocolate honey comb Big Orange *new for winter -layers of ...

Hail a taxicab anywhere in New York City and tell the driver,  "Take me to the best cheesecake in New York.”  Odds are you will end up at Junior's.  Their story begins long before Opening Day in 1950.  In 1929,  Harry Rosen opens a restaurant on the corner of Flatbush Ave Ext and DeKalb,  a luncheonette called the Enduro.  Over the years, he expands the restaurant to several storefronts occupying the entire corner.  After weathering several changes in the economy, including Prohibition and the Great Depression, Harry expands the Enduro to a full service restaurant with a night-club atmosphere  including a raised bandstand with live entertainment. After World War II,  the returning servicemen did not have time or interest in visiting nightclubs and fancy restaurants.  Brooklynites were busy rebuilding–their lives, their families, the city and the country after the war.  The En...

When we got married, we bought a Soda Stream using our wedding gift money. Powered by a CO2 cylinder, SodaStream allows you to turn tap water into sparkling water in an instant. So easy! That’s it! Or 3rd step if you want it flavored. The carbonating bottles are either glass or BPA-free plastic! I bought it because: *the hubby loves sparkling water -it is a good soda replacement for that fizzy craving *it is eco-friendly -no trash from single use plastic bottles/cans *you can always make sparkling water anytime - you can offer sparkling or still to your guests! *it saves you or delivery guy from carrying extra groceries *if you want flavored sparkling water which is the trend now, you have the flexibility to create your own sparkling drinks by adjusting the fizziness & flavor level to your personal taste I make my own Sprite/7-up to marinate my meats like my homemade tocino that I made here . Here is my DIY recipe! Healthy...

For my #adulting post related to water, do you know if your water is soft or hard? When we lived in London, we experienced hard water & it was no fun. Hard water will affect the performance & life expectancy of water-using appliances & will leave scale buildup on shower heads, fixtures, dishes, etc. If your test shows you have a hardness level of 7 Grains Per Gallon or higher, you have hard water and will likely encounter above symptoms. I know that the water here in our apartment in NYC is soft as we don’t have above symptoms, but I would like to show you the instructions on how you can check your water at home. The good news is: the test is free & soooo easy! For best results, please follow instructions carefully: 1. Collect cold water sample from a tap source that is not filtered or softened. 2. Remove your test strip from its packaging. Dip it into your water sample for 3 seconds (without motion). 3...
