Lower Manhattan is a place where you can find many interesting restaurants and ATRIO Wine Bar & Restaurant is one of them. A couple of weeks ago, I was hosted by the Conrad New York at their lovely all suite property. I was also hosted for dinner at their in house restaurant ATRIO. ATRIO Wine Bar & Restaurant is open 7 days a week and serves Sunday brunch. The first thing that I noticed about ATRIO besides the beautiful interior was that the clientele is very versatile – there were[...]
Staying at the Conrad New York is one the best decisions I made in regards to my NYC trip. I’m so happy that I was able to partner with this lovely five star property. Although my visit was sponsored, all opinions are my own. It doesn’t matter which entrance of the Conrad New York you walk through, you don’t feel like you’re in a hotel. I felt like I was in a gallery or a museum. Think gallery vibes mixed with a cozy warm feeling. The design of the hotel is striking and very differen[...]
I am always eager to try new restaurants and cafes and that’s why I decided to visit the Kellogg’s NYC Cereal Café. The café is located in one of the most beautiful parts of New York City, Union Square. Although Kellogg’s did host me at the café, all opinions are my own. To be honest, I am a great fan of cereal. That is exactly why I wanted to check out the menu of this café and see how seemingly ordinary breakfast food can be turned into something inventive and special. Inspire[...]
I was trying to find a really cool NYC dessert trend when I stumbled upon Taiyaki NYC. It is a small shop that offers an instaworthy ice cream dessert that I think everyone must try.

Taiyaki NYC has taken the Taiyaki concept to the next level by creating fish shaped cones filled with flavoured ice cream. Flavours include red bean, matcha, chocolate, and vanilla. I feel that ice[...]
Bar Gonzo is an eccentric 70’s style bar situated in Hell’s Kitchen, minutes away from Yotel and Times Square. The inspiration behind Bar Gonzo is the literary style and excess of the disco era. Writers George Plimpton, Ernest Hemingway, and Hunter S. Thompson influence the space. Many of the references on the menu are credited to Hunter S. Thompson. You feel like you’re on vacation the moment you walk through the doors. The tropical themed design is a mix of old and new. The co[...]
I recently partnered with YOTEL NYC and I'm excited to tell you about this property. As always, all opinions are my own. If you’re looking for a budget friendly and trendy hotel for your next trip to New York City, Yotel NYC is your answer. Before I go any further, I must tell you that if you’re a high maintenance traveler, than Yotel is not a good fit for you. Yotel NYC is not a designer boutique hotel but a new concept for the on-the-go traveler who is looking for something hip, conve[...]
