Bubby and I went out to dinner on our weekly dinner date and as she was telling me how to get there, we pulled into the same little plaza where my favorite Starbucks is. I’ve gone to the same Starbucks since I started working at my job in January and I never ever noticed that…
Sushi Review! Tamarind Asian Grill and Sushi Bar
There are so many sushi restaurants down here that it can be hard to decide on a place to go. How do you tell the difference between a place that is actually good or is just another general sushi restaurant? It’s good that I have friends and family with good taste to give me recommendations,…
Greek Islands Taverna: THE Place to Go for Greek
Ever since I got into the whole “foodie” trend, people have been telling me about a certain Greek restaurant in Fort Lauderdale that I absolutely must try, and I kept saying over and over that I would go, eventually… Eventually turned into a year later. I finally got around to going to Greek Islands Taverna…
Boca Restaurant Review: Saquella Cafe
I’ve passed by lots of cafes & bakeries that serve dinners and have always wondered if the food is any good. I mean, these places are mostly known for pumping out delicious desserts and coffee drinks, so the food should be pretty good too, right? I recently learned that YES, this is totally 100% accurate….
Restaurant Review: Rosso Italia
NOTE: This restaurant has since closed. New restaurants always call my name. I should say they usually call Bubby’s name first and then, as long as she has had a good experience, they call mine. It’s a good sign when a restaurant gets the “Bubby seal of approval.” Two new restaurants opened recently on Military…
Mom’s Visit to Boca: Brio, Two George’s. DaDa’s
Mother-daughter relationships are interesting. When you’re in middle and high school, you don’t want anything to do with your mom. Then you go to college and you start to tolerate her more, mostly because you aren’t living with her anymore. Then you graduate college and move out on your own, in my case many states…
Dinner at The Atlantic Grille at Seagate Hotel
I love my dinner dates with Bubby. Now that I’m not living with her anymore, it’s important to me that we still have our time together. She loves introducing me to new restaurants, and especially loves finding good restaurants with great dinner deals. How does this one sound? Appetizer, entree and dessert — and a…
VIP at The Boca Beach Club
Wednesday will be my one-year anniversary since I moved to Florida. I can’t believe I’ve been here a year — time really has flown. For four months, I was pretty much on vacation. It got to the point where my parents even gave me an ultimatum if I didn’t find a job soon. The new…
A Little Taste of Italy: Lunch at Maggiano’s
By now you should know my friend, Kristy, who has been mentioned in quite a few of my posts. It’s great having her in Florida with me. We are both complete Jersey Girls at heart, but we love our new lives down here. While we both love to cook and bake, we never shy away from going out…
A Hidden Gem: The Cuban Cafe
I had another great dinner with my Bubby this past weekend at a local spot that she loves. The Cuban Cafe is tucked away in a real quiet strip mall; you would never know it was there if you didn’t already know about it. When you walk inside, you’re instantly hit with Cuban style and…
