Not to be confused with Wolfgang Puck, Wolfgang’s Steakhouse was opened by Wolfgang Zwiener, a former headwaiter at Peter Luger for over 40 years. There may be 12 locations of the steakhouse around the world but Wolfgang’s ain’t no chain. Its’ quality is evidenced by its repeated appearances on Best Steakhouses in New York lists. When the same friend, who insisted I […]
The trend of superfoods is slowly growing in Singapore. Just the past two years alone, a slew of cold-pressed juice bars and acai bowl cafes have sprout up in speeds quicker than our bowels take to digest them. Before my trip to the USA, I was so excited to visit the country which made superfood big. If […]
Amy’s Bread is a well-known American bakery with three branches in Manhattan. Due to other more highly-reviewed bakeries like Dominique Ansel, I never placed Amy’s Bread high on my bucket list. On my last day in New York, the Greenwich Village branch was just around the corner from my brunch cafe. After a fairly-ok New York brunch, my […]
Shack Shack needs no introduction. Created by revered New York restaurateur Danny Meyer, it has 41 U.S. outlets and more 29 overseas franchises from cities Dubai to Tokyo. Hard to believe it began from a from a humble burger stand in Madison Square Park. Shake Shack may be a fast-food joint but once you […]
There are two popular doughnut bakeries in New York: Doughnut Plant and Dough. Both are always cited on “Best Doughnuts in NYC” lists. After trying both, my conclusion: skip Dough, RUN for Doughnut Plant. Seriously. Run to get your hands on any of Doughnut Plant’s stunning doughnuts. You won’t regret the calories! Doughnut Plant Ever […]
New York has a lot of good food but they are scattered all over Manhattan and another popular borough, Brooklyn. Unless you have a lot of time to hunt down the food in these two boroughs, there is a high chance you are going to miss out on the amazing variety New York has to […]
New York City was the last place on earth I expected to find an unforgettable bowl of ramen. Much less from a Japanese restaurant specializing in yakiniku (which is said to be one of the best in the city.) But I did. In the West Village, Takashi flips its yakiniku operations around and for two midnights a […]
TCS New York City Marathon 2015. The main reason I travelled to New York City. Together with over 50,000 runners, I completed the marathon with a timing of 4 hours 30 mins and 57 seconds. My personal best so far. This race was also the best experience of my life! When the finisher medal was placed […]
One of my must-eat food in New York is cupcakes. On my last trip, I had 18 cupcakes in a week – that’s how obsessed I am with it. On this trip, however, I was more interested in trying out the non-NYC native bakeries: LA’s Sprinkles Cupcakes and Washington DC’s Georgetown Cupcakes. After trying three […]
One of my favourite food in New York City so far has to be the gyro platter from the famous Halal Guys food truck. So good that I have had it twice in two days. It also helps that it is one block away from my hotel. The food is just a platter of […]
