Jai Ho to Baluchis!

Since me and my friends are planning on going to the Village for the Annual Halloween Parade, I realized that there is a restaurant that I had eaten at in the Financial District on the night of Fashion's Night Out, back on September 8th. For all those people out there that are hesitant to try new or especially exotic food, I urge you to definitely go out and take someone who is maybe a bit more adventurous or at least knows a basis of the ethnic food, so they can order easy starter dishes for you.

Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, anyone?

The definition of serendipity (according to dictionary.com) is an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident. Serendipity 3 truly lives up to that definition. Now, although Serendipity is a quite a famous and popular restaurant already, there are reviews everywhere and there are probably quite a few of you who have even been there already. I, however, had my first lunch there this past Saturday. Serendipity was definitely on my To Do List of things and place to go to in NY and I'm so glad I did.

College Budget?

Due to midterms and a difficult work schedule, the only restaurant that I was able to eat were one's that were either by school or near/in the mall. So, I decided to make this blog post all about restaurants near campus that I have eaten at or have had delivered. The good thing about these restaurants it that they are all pretty budget-friendly and for the most part I was very satisfied with my meal. Take a break from Monty's...you know you want to!

Pixie Dust? Fairy Dust? Nope, it's Ellen's Stardust!

Ellen's Stardust Diner (the website is currently undergoing renovations, and although you should definitely check it out they do have a Facebook page for the time being) was an adorable restaurant and I had a smile on my face  the entire time I was in there. This also happens to be the restaurant that I had mentioned in my "John Really Knows His Pizza" blog that I ate dessert at and promised to write about, so hear we go. 

Kimchi, Please!

Our next destination on our food travels around the world, is Muk Eun Ji Korean Restaurant. Located on West 32nd St. and Broadway in the heart of Korea Town, you will be grateful for all the walking you can potentially do (and should do) because you will eat enough to last into the next day. This was a restaurant that my friend and her family had gone to the last time she was in the city and she took me so I could be made aware of it's deliciousness. If you can't tell by the picture, we ordered quite a feast for just the two of us. We had bulgogi (marinated thin sliced Prime Rib Eye), spicy tofu and vegetable soup, a steamed egg dish (on the house), rice, and many little plates of different kimchis and vegetables that are included with the meals. Everything was extremely tasty and there is even an option of grilling your own meat (it is prepared in the back and the grill is in the table). The only difficulty of this restaurant is not knowing what the names are and what is actually in the dish. It is best if you: do your research online and figure out, more or less, what you want to eat; bring a friend who can order for you; or just be adventurous and try guessing and ordering from the pictures on the menu! Enjoy!
