Chicago is easily one of my favorite cities to visit. It has everything I love: walkable streets, a solid subway system, incredible food, and that familiar energy that makes it feel like a cleaner, smaller, slightly more Midwest version of NYC. But every time I come back, one thing always stands out, the breakfast. Chicago’s breakfast and café culture is on another level. Whether you’re after something sweet or savory, quick or sit-down, this city delivers. Everywhere you loo

I’ve eaten a lot of pizza in Tokyo, and I’ve said it over and over: not only is it an elite pizza city, but my favorite spot has to be Seirinkan. Tokyo‑style pizza, if you’re not familiar, is their spin on Neapolitan, wood‑fired, super chewy, and unmistakably Tokyo thanks to the extra olive oil and that big hit of salt. Some spots also add a twist to the crust, and you can find some really interesting flavor combinations, it is Japan after all. But Seirinkan keeps it simple w

Lords is the kind of place that makes you wonder why you ever slept on British food in the first place. Tucked into Greenwich Village, this modern English bistro leans hard into nose to tail cooking, cozy pub vibes, and the kind of rich, comforting dishes that make you want to linger over one more martini and definitely one more fry. Here’s a rundown of what I got! Starters Started off with a Scotch egg that immediately sets the tone. Instead of a basic sausage wrap, Lords us

This was my first trip to Paris in about 15 years, and over that time, alot has changed. Not only in the city of course, but for me. When I was there last time, it was just to visit my sister who was studying abroad, so this was the first time I was really there to dig into the food scene! What I found was a mix of classics of course, but also some stuff that really surprised me. Who knew I could get amazing Ramen in Paris?! So below is a list of my TOP 5 favorite restaurants

New York City diners are more than where you can get late night chicken fingers or early morning coffee; they are where this city has always felt most like home to me. It is where immigrants, night shift workers, and neighbors have sat side by side for nearly a century, sharing Formica tables, chipped mugs, and stories that never make it onto any menu.​ For almost a hundred years, diners have been the city’s unofficial kitchens, the places that never judge what time it is or

For National Bagel Day, New York City finally has a bagel you are not  allowed to toast, and it has my name on it. The Jeremy Bagel at Tompkins Square Bagels is meant to be eaten exactly as I designed it: warm, chewy, and unapologetically untoasted! Why This Bagel Matters to Me Only six people before me have had a namesake bagel at Tompkins Square Bagels, one of the truly elite bagel shops in New York City, and now “The Jeremy” is on that very short list. As a Jewish New York

Daily Provisions absolutely nails the kind of breakfast sandwich that makes you rethink your usual bodega BEC, and it’s the cream cheese that takes it over the top.​ Vibes Daily Provisions has popped up all over NYC the past few years, and while there is a line, there’s hustle, but there’s also that Union Square Hospitality polish that makes even a quick counter order feel that much more elevated versus a usually cafe or bodega. It fits perfectly into that NYC rhythm where br

Justin’s Salt Bread has officially landed in the East Village, bringing New York City its first bakery dedicated entirely to salt bread, from the team behind popular noodle spot Okiboru. Located at 58 Second Avenue, it is already positioning itself as NYC’s next carb obsession, centered around one buttery, salty, perfectly simple specialty.​​ A Seoul Craving Comes To NYC Almost a year ago, I was on the other side of the world, in Seoul, eating salt bread for the first time at

Stuffed bagels have officially hit New York City, and while I’ll forever be hesitant of any viral food, especially when it comes to messing with the perfection of a NYC Bagel, I was still intrigued. So trying to be unbiased, but with a raised eyebrow, I went to the brand new Moonrise Bagels in the Village to get a taste! First look at Moonrise Moonrise Bagels feels familiar at first glance: trays of bagels, the hum of a busy New York morning, people debating their orders with
