I came with a friend, and we started off with the 'Margarita Flight,' as it is a Happy Hour special, and we had to take advantage of it while it lasted lol. The flight came with four flavors, and unique names for them, and it was hard to tell which flavor was which. There was 'Performer

Who doesn't love fresh pasta? There's truly nothing better...at least in my opinion! And for all you Long Islanders or visitors, you can get some at The Pasta Project in Farmingdale. They are located inside Gino's of Farmingdale. What's great about this place is that you can create your own pasta by choosing the pasta, sauce, and toppings. Or you can try a signature dish here instead. Fresh pasta always hits the spot! When I arrived, I tried the 'Pesto Siciliano,' which

This serves about four to si

When I was last in the city a few weeks ago, I decided to check out Jacob's Pickles, as I came across their 'Chicken Caesar Wrap' on Instagram, and knew I had to try it!

I had the chance to check out Pavlo Mochi in the East Village of Manhattan the other day, and I was very impressed by all the mochi and the variety of different mochi flavors.
