Hello there! Remember me? I know, it’s been a while. Far too long. But The Perky Foodie is back and here to stay! Woooo!!!!! I hope you’re hungry! Today’s gem of a restaurant is Jajaja, an unassuming vegan Mexican restaurant on the Lower East Side in NYC! I say unassuming because I literally walked past…
Bienvenidos a Argentina!
¡¡Holaaaa amigos!! Sorry for my delay in posting, but it’s for a good reason, because as I’m sure you’re aware from my many photos on The Perky Foodie Instagram, I’ve been quite busy lately adventuring in Buenos Aires, Argentina for my semester abroad!

My Day on a Food Network Shoot
This past week, I got to live out my wildest childhood dream as a contestant for an upcoming show on Food Network!!!!!!!! WHAT is my life?! I was cast to participate in the “proof of concept” for the show, which will be shown to the Food Network execs to see if they’re going to eventually…
Riverpark
The best gifts always come in the form of food! An NYC Restaurant Week meal of my choice, a belated Chanukah gift from my mom, was obviously the perfect present for a foodie like me! Restaurant Week is such a wonderful thing. During this time, loads of very fancy NYC restaurants make fine dining a…

Miso Teriyaki Seitan Sandwiches
I’ve been in love with The Cinnamon Snail since I first encountered this insanely wonderful vegan food truck at Red Bank, New Jersey’s weekly farmer’s market. I’m a true fan who has followed their amazing journey as they blossomed from local vegan secret to the hottest food truck on the East Coast! After…

Silvana
I’ve been working right down the street from an absolute gem the whole summer and of course I didn’t find this spot until my second to last week… Silvana is a contemporary Middle Eastern restaurant in West Harlem, and it’s pretty much everything I could ever want and more in a café. Fantastic (and inexpensive)…
Rocking Horse Cafe
My favorite request in the world is, “Hey so can we get dinner in the city one night after work at one of your NYC foodie bucket list places please and thanks,” so thanks for that to my dear friend, Jenna. We chose Rocking Horse Cafe, and let me tell you, we chose wisely. Rocking…
Overnight Oats
Hey, it’s been a really long time since I’ve posted a recipe, hasn’t it? I’ve always wanted to try an overnight oats recipe 1) because they’re trendy and you can put them in Mason jars and I am a slave to the #aesthetic and 2) because I am Lazy with a capital L (which conveniently…
