I love coming to New York, The City That Never Sleeps, as I’m constantly surrounded by the hustling and bustling of the people. Everyone always seems to be in a rush headed to subways, offices, cafes and restaurants. Depending on what time of day, location or reputation of a restaurant, one may find long lines of people waiting in frigid weather to be seated in such restaurant. My recommendation is that before visiting any popular restaurant, try to make a reservation to avoid waiting periods. Also, I dare you to visit other places since this historic city has so many restaurants at almost any nook and cranny.

Trufa Restaurant: This is a small comfy restaurant located in the Harlem neighborhood, ( 3431 Broadway, New York). Most people, I noticed, order their food through seamless.com because of convenience. I had decided to seat in and have the brunch option (Brunch is my favorite meal). I opted for some French toast and Orange juice. The French toast came with a piping hot banana creamy sauce and it was absolutely delicious!

Mango Mango Dessert: Truly a dessert haven for mango lovers as most options have mango flavor incorporated into the recipe. There are four locations in New York and I visited the one at St. Mark’s Place.

Russian Tea Room (RTM): An exquisite and upscale restaurant that blends historic and modern style into an aesthetic pleasure for the eye, and mouth-watery meals for the stomach. I’m used to fine dinning places serving only little portions of food but this place offers a sensible meal size and long list filled with a variety of drink options.
