Y here. I believe that this restaurant will be the last of our Hawaii reviews. Let’s all have a moment of silence (pause sadly). The good news is that New York spring is just around the corner (last weekend was phenomenally warm), so I look forward to getting out of my hibernation and trying out [...]

M here. Happy Mardi Gras! As I picked at the stale roll that was delivered with the risotto I ordered for dinner, I could not help but reminisce of better times in Hawaii and at Bravo. Y and I stopped at Bravo for lunch as a perfect segway between hiking Manoa Falls trail and Pearl Harbor. We did not [...]

Y here. Thank God for privacy filters during work. Unfortunately, there’s not that many good food places in Midtown in New York. Fortunately, I still have several more places to blog, so I can think back to the delicious days of coconut shrimp and mai tai’s. We were lucky that Tiki’s Grill and Bar was [...]

Y here. And obviously missing Hawaii while she alternates between too hot (overheated apartment with central heating system) and too cold (open window with 30F breezes coming in).

But tonight…she started taking a nap, and dreamed of images of …a shrimp truck. So she decided that the great shrimp gods from above [...]

M here. Generally when I leave my beloved city, I like to eat where the locals eat. When in New Jersey, I like to dig into an enormous omelette at infamous Jersey diners. When in Milan, I like to snag a cocktail and munch on the wide assortment of finger foods during Apertivo. That’s why [...]

M here. After a morning of sunbathing in Waikiki, Y and I decided to grab a bite to eat at Teddy’s Bigger Burgers, a Hawaiian burger joint. As its name suggests, the local favorite offers a variety of large flame-broiled burgers including the Monster Double, weighing at over 1 lb! In addition to its enormous [...]

M here. Long time no write. Apologies for being MIA, but the real world (more specifically my day job) took over and I just haven’t found the time. For this review, I decided to try something different, to implement a somewhat more efficient rating schema (for more on this, see Rating Criteria) that will hopefully [...]
