  • Mom’s Kitchen & Bar: The Most Iconic Spot In Man…

    Hey y’all! Today we come with a good old restaurant review. Mom’s Kitchen & Bar is the spot to go to in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan. This restaurant is so cute, very welcoming, and it’s decorated with retro decor. This is a great place to go with your family, friends, lover or even by yourself on a solo date. I went to Mom’s Kitchen with my best friend, and we had a wonderful time with amazing food and even better service. The only thing is that when we went it got packed, therefore, we left right after we ate. However, I can’t wait to go back and try other things on the menu.

    Now let’s talk food! The food is to die for. I had the Fruity Pebbles Pancakes and I absolutely loved them. They were delicious, ever since I tried these I haven’t been able to stop thinking about them (lol). Apart from being delicious, their portions are huge. My bestie ordered the waffles and chicken, and it was also delicious, you already know, I had to try them. We also got some drinks, and they were pretty good too. Their price ranges from $17-$26 per plate, which I find pretty affordable due to the quality/flavor of the food.

  • A 90s Diner in 2023: In The Heart of NYC

    Hey y’all! What if I tell you that there was a diner decorated with a 90s decoration in Times Square NYC, so cool, right!?? Well, let me tell you that I actually found one! I was looking for a place to take a bite the other day when I met with my bestie and boom, we found this diner. It was pure coincidence. The 90s diner doesn’t look all that on the outside but once you go in, it looks amazing. I found out that this diner opened its door to the public recently, about a year or so ago.

    How was my experience?

    The experience in the 90s diner was amazing! Food was wonderful, we both ordered burgers with fries and natural juices. The burgers and fries were on point when it comes to flavor. The natural juices, didn’t really feel that natural, however, they were still okay. The overall experience of going to the past and living this history, like a blast from the past was amazing. The waiters and cashier were amazing too, they were very attentive. That being said, if you ever find yourself close to 43rs St and Broadway, go and have a little some, some from this diner. You won’t regret it!

    What are the benefits of drinking matcha latte?

    Matcha Latte is full of antioxidants, even antioxidants that may help prevent cell damage and lower the risk of certain diseases. Matcha may help with weight loss by boosting metabolism and burning fat. It also contains an amino acid that can help lower anxiety. Matcha helps to boost brain health, function, and alertness. In addition, it supports the heart and the cardiovascular system. My point is that matcha is an excellent supplement for use to consume on a daily basis. However, matcha is high in caffeine so you have to be careful, and not consume it more than twice a day.


    Ingredients:

    • One tsp of matcha powder (add more or less depending on how strong or light)
    • 1 oz of hot water
    • 6 oz of milk
    • ½ tsp of vanilla extract
    • ⅛ tsp sea salt
    • ½ tsp of cinnamon powder
    • 2 pumps of vanilla syrup (Click here for a homemade vanilla syrup)

    Preparation:

    • In a small bowl, add 1oz of hot water and 1 tbs of matcha powder.
    • Whisk it until you get the perfect mixture.
    • Once you have the matcha mixture ready, start adding the pinch of sea salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder and homemade vanilla syrup. Whisk it again, until the mixture has the perfect consistency.
    • Now, start steaming the milk, and combine with the matcha mixture in a mug.
