A few months ago, I stopped eating red meat. There’s no solid reason why, I just felt like doing it and had been thinking about doing it for a while. I miss cheeseburgers everyday. Anyway, going into it a big concern of mine was that I thought I was going to have trouble finding things to eat […]

Take a Bao
I love pork buns. They are my weakness. I’m on a chicken-only diet but I always (ALWAYS) cheat for pork buns and I don’t even care. When I found out there is a place in Astoria basically dedicated to wrapping different food items up in steamed buns I was like: And so I happily made […]
RaMen > Most Men
“Ramen, the only thing on this Earth that falls into the ‘men’ category that doesn’t disappoint me,” my friend Brittany said as she dug into a steaming hot bowl of Miso Ramen noodles. Ramen is the most comforting food I can think of (other than the homemade chicken soup my grandma makes). This Japanese soup dish is […]
Caffeine Fix For Finals Week
I don’t know about you, but I can’t function well without coffee. I get all foggy, sentences are processed slower in my head and I just have a harder time being human. Of course, this kind of dependency is not completely healthy. I’m okay with that though, because a little kick doesn’t hurt. Especially during finals […]
Italian Haven in Astoria, Queens
Last week, I was watching “Everyday Italian” on the Food Network (favorite channel, favorite show, don’t judge. Also, wild spring break). Giada de Laurentiis is a famous Italian celebrity chef with countless cookbooks and a house in Malibu. She has a number of TV shows, but in this one she cooks Italian classics right from […]
Tongue Thai’d Around Queens
I love Thai food. It’s my second favorite food (tacos are first, of course). Thai cuisine is so unique. It’s one of the most popular cuisines in the world, and it has grown to be very popular in the U.S. Thai food is never disappointing. The flavor combinations are so interesting. Some common ingredients in […]
Fries Before Guys: Speciality Fries Around Queens
Fries are a pretty common guilty pleasure. Well, they are for me, at least. I constantly crave them and I can never have just one. They’re my weakness. My Achilles heel. I even like the fries from McDonald’s, and I don’t particularly like McDonald’s. Not only are french fries my kryptonite, but also speciality fries. […]
Let’s Taco ’bout It Again
What’s the key to my heart? Tacos. Every kind. All of the time. A variety of different flavors come together on a glorious bed of tortilla. All of the ingredients become one. Tacos can be fast food (I’m a sucker for Taco Bell), but can also be really dressed up and maybe fancy! (Romantic, even…) […]
Galentine’s Day: Date Ideas With Your Friends in Queens
Valentine’s Day. The most romantic, fun-loving holiday there is. How could you be upset on Valentines’s Day? You’re celebrating love, the coolest thing ever. I don’t only mean love romance-wise, but I mean in general. You celebrate the love you have for your family and friends, as well. I personally love this holiday; I love […]
Ba(e)gels: Get Toasted at Bagel Shops Around Queens
Bagels are bae. I never really understood completely what bae means, but according to Urban Dictionary, its seems to be a good thing. Right…? Bagels are “before anyone/anything else.” Mainly because they’re a breakfast food, consumed before any other meal of the day. Secondly, because they are just so damned delicious and they make people happy. Or […]
