Last weekend, I ventured out to Astoria in Queens and decided to check out Jack Jones, which was great.

Salivating over this burger Without realizing it, I actually came during brunch, which happens here on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am to 4 pm. I got the 'Jack Jones House Burger, which came with lettuce, tomato, and onio

After the holidays wrap up and the new year begins, it is always the perfect time to eat better and get on a health kick. I decided to check out Zest in Fairfield, New Jersey, to start mine.

Plus, everything at Zest is gluten-free, so if you are a non-gluten eater, this place is perfect for you! When I went, I ordered 'The 973,

If you love Mediterranean food and cafes, then you have to check out Grami Caffe in Malverne, New York, as this is the perfect spot for you!

Nothing beats an iced coffee When I went, I got an iced coffee with sugar-free caramel syrup and almond milk. Usually, I prefer my iced coffee to be extra, insanely sweet. However, this was really good and hit the spot. The 'Span

Burgerology out on Long Island has been on my food list for a while now, and I finally had the chance over the weekend to check it out.

Over the weekend, I was in the city, down in the West Village, and stumbled across Denino's Greenwich Village. I was with a friend, and we both thought this place was worth a visit. To start the meal off, we got the 'Mozzarella Sticks,' which were a hit! You cannot go wrong with 'Mozzarella Sticks' in my opinion. Super crispy and crunchy on the outside, and cheesy and gooey on the inside. Plus, the sauce was top-tier! 'Mozzarella Sticks' are the ultimate app! My friend an

The flavors I chose were the 'Tramontana,' 'Dulce De Leche,' and 'White Chocolate.' The gelato was unbelievable, and tasted super creamy and fresh. My favorite

My latest food find is Shaka Kitchen in Morristown, New Jersey, a wellness-based cafe that focuses on nutrition and serving food to fuel you.
