Ever since the Harlem Eatup in May, I have been really excited to visit the actual Sylvia’s Soulfood Restaurant located at 328 Malcolm X Blvd, New York, NY 10027.  Sylvia’s is considered a Harlem landmark serving generous helpings of Southern comfort food since 1962.  When I attended the private dinner in May, I was inspired…

On our last evening of our trip, we were not interested in any of the evening session tennis matches of the US Open, so I made us a reservation to one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. I was introduced to this restaurant a few years ago by my god-mother.  She has some pretty fabulous…

Restaurant and Bar Villa Serena As I told you before, I never ever forget an amazing dining experience.  When I was a preteen, my mother and her companion at the time took me and my friend to this restaurant.

On the second evening of our trip, I coordinated with our personal concierge and made a reservation at the popular Los Tres Gallos Restaurante. This place came highly recommended as a place to visit and even the taxi driver agreed.
