Review: Millburn Deli

Close to a week ago, a few friends and I decided to get together and have a pool day. After we swam, the friend who was hosting the pool day suggested that we order-in on Door Dash, and that we order from a popular sandwich joint called the Millburn Deli in Short Hills. After looking…

Review: Poke Mahi & Fresca Bowl

Over the weekend, my family and I walked through the college-town of Princeton, and stumbled upon a small poke bowl and acai bowl place. In the past, I’ve noticed that places like these typically don’t have much to offer that isn’t nut-free. So I went inside hesitantly, but still hoping for the best. In terms…

Review – The Cheesecake Factory

The Cheesecake Factory has always been a restaurant that is a staple in my family’s diet. We usually have a specific slew of foods that we like to buy from there when we eat there all together. But just last week after I finished my finals, my mom and I decided to go for a…

Review – Twenty/20 Taphouse

A few weeks ago, my friend had her conformation, and her family had booked a reservation for the party at the Twenty/20 Taphouse; a restaurant “with a new menu featuring tons of apps, burgers, entrees & full-service bar”. Its “menu appeals to a wide range of tastes”, and it’s located in Somerset, New Jersey. When…

Review – The Heights Restaurant and H Bar

During our trip to Ithaca, New York over Mother’s Day weekend, my dad had scoured the list of local restaurants to try and find the perfect place to take my mom on Mother’s Day. He eventually decided on The Heights Restaurant and H Bar, whose menu consists of “Mediterranean-inspired American cuisine”. After taking my time…

Review: Shamrock Burgers

Even though my family visits Canada quite a lot, we still aren’t aware of many of the worthwhile places to eat. So when it came time for us to order-in last night, we were all struggling to find a new and delicious restaurant to order from. Luckily my mom came to the rescue. Being the…

Review: Sahara

Ever since I was a baby, my family and I used to go out to eat at Sahara (a popular mediterranean restaurant located only in the state of New Jersey). Their original location was in New Bruinswick, New Jersey, and they recently opened up another location closer to my home in Manville, New Jersey which…

Recipe: Croque Monsieur

A few days ago, I discovered the ever-so-popular French dish called the Croque Monsieur, which can be found in cafes and bistros all around France. It first appeared on menus in 1910, but was featured in Proust’s In Search of Lost Time in 1918. The Croque Monsieur, or “mister crunch” when translated, is typically made…

Recipe: Peach Smoothie

My family and I are smoothie lovers, and that’s a fact. So when my sister came to me and asked if we could make a smoothie together, of course I said yes. My mom is usually the one who comes up with the combination of ingredients, so I was a little clueless where to start….
