The French Market

My friend Sam works at a place that just opened in Rumson called the French Market, and my friend Julia and I recently had the pleasure of eating there! It’s a French-inspired café selling artisan pastries, crepes, sandwiches, breads, and cheese. The French Market is so lovely. It’s a cute little building with a dark…

H Mart

I’ve been so inspired by Asian food lately! I’ve been craving that fantastic pho since I had it, and I can’t wait to go back soon. I also recently went to an amazing Thai restaurant called Kunya Siam– my pictures were not so amazing, so that’s why I didn’t write a blog post… Next time I go…

Pho LeVietnamese Restaurant

Red Bank is my favorite food town in NJ. I’m never bored there because there’s such an eclectic mix of restaurants to choose from, and literally all of them are fantastic. I was really looking forward to trying Via 45, a seasonal farm to table Italian restaurant, but because I do dumb things sometimes, I…

The Sandbox Café

Trader Joe’s Haul

A surprising number of people I have gushed to about Trader Joe’s have never been there, and this is a problem that I feel I need to fix. Trader Joe’s is a food store which is filled with friendly folks in Hawaiian shirts and even more importantly, tons of unique and very, very delicious specialty…

The Raven Tea Room

I graduated high school. I graduated high school. I graduated high school. I have to keep saying it over and over again because I just cannot believe it. Four years filled with millions of memories– ups and downs, stress, fun, and everything in between with the people I grew up with have come to an…

Asbury Park

So many birthdays and parties lately! Lots of fun! For my friend Katie’s birthday, we dined at Stella Marina, an Italian restaurant on the boardwalk in Asbury Park. I love the boardwalk (even when the wind coming off of the ocean makes it feel like it’s 30 degrees on a 70 degrees evening)! Asbury Park’s…

My Kitchen Witch

Let’s talk brunch! Today, my friend Becky and I brunched at the ever so wonderful My Kitchen Witch Café in Monmouth Beach! (Yes. I made brunch a verb. Don’t question it). I love a good brunch, and My Kitchen Witch serves a great brunch! I used to go to this café all the time with…
