Roka Akor- Dining in SF

November 20, 2019

The one great thing about living in a new city is exploring the food options. I rarely dine in San Francisco, but I’m going to start making an effort. Going into SF on the weekend is the same feeling I use to have about going to BK from Harlem. It seemed like a journey and a half, and I rarely did it. I’m exaggerating a bit on the SF side; the only thing that makes it difficult is that transit here is a whole hot mess! Also, don’t get me started on the crazy hills and why I’m terrified of driving in SF.

Anyways, I did make the venture to SF, and I’m so glad I did because my friend took me to this gem of a restaurant called Roka Akor, which is a restaurant that serves Modern Japanese food with strong drinks, and beautiful decor! This is a great spot for a date night, girls night, or any night you want some good food!

Bubby’s // Let’s Do Brunch

May 20, 2017

Nutella Pancakes

If you don’t know Brunch is my favorite meal, and I love trying out new spots. Once I saw that Timeout New York crowned bubby’s the best pancake stack I knew I had to give it a try. Bubby’s has been around since 1990 and has been serving up Brunch since then. I had a chance to check out the location in TriBeCa, but there is also a location located on the high line. Once you walk through the door, you instantly become a part of the family. Everyone who works at Bubby’s is so friendly and accommodating! On the menu, you’ll find some amazing brunch dishes like buttermilk biscuits, Nutella pancakes(which are AMAZING), and eggs benedict. Bubby’s is a family friendly spot and a good place for you and friends to grab brunch as well. That’s what I did a couple of my friends headed to Bubby’s around 11:30 and me. Bubby’s does not take reservations on the weekends, so its best to get there early to avoid the wait.

I recently checked out Louis Wine Bar and immediately was sold when one of my friends told me there was wine on tap. It was the perfect outing to hit on the beautiful Sunday we just had in New York. Spring has finally decided to show up, and I couldn’t be more excited.

Restaurant Review // The Edge

A few of my girlfriends and I decided to take advantage of Black Owned Restaurant week happening in Harlem. This is similar to the restaurant week that happens in big cities all over the country. In which certain restaurants offer a prefix menu for a set price. Black Owned Restaurant Week offers the same deal, but you get to support Black Owned Business. The Edge was one of the restaurants participating and I must admit that a 3-course meal for $30 is hard to turn down! Check out the link here to find other restaurants that are participating.
