Taylor Eats: Sunday In Brooklyn
Located in the heart of Williamsburg, Sunday In Brooklyn is the perfect restaurant to have brunch. Why? Because they serve brunch EVERY SINGLE DAY until 4 pm! Can you imagine brunching on a Tuesday afternoon?I love brunching so much that I had to take a trip to Sunday in Brooklyn to see what it was like to brunch on a weekday. All of the positive Yelp reviews further confirmed that I needed to visit this restaurant and many of the reviews pointed to trying the Malted Pancakes. How did we make these decisions before Yelp? Lol?? Disclaimer: If you do not have a sweet tooth, the Malted Pancakes is not the dish for you. The Malted Pancakes were visually stunning. They were fluffy, drizzled with hazelnut maple…

Taylor Eats: SoCo Brooklyn
Perched on Myrtle Avenue, right between Ryerson and Grand Streets in Brooklyn, sits SoCo Restaurant serving southern fusion cuisine. Draped in an all black sleek looking facade with a regal cornice crowning the windows, Soco definitely has curb appeal. I love when businesses keep that historical Brooklyn feel while adding a modern design touch. The Interior certainly does not disappoint either. Exposed brick walls, stainless steel counters with wood accents. I love it! So warm and welcoming. I arrived at Soco at 2 pm on a Tuesday afternoon. I was greeted by the host and seated right away. The atmosphere was very relaxed and old school R&B was playing in the background. Not too loud and not too overwhelming. You should…

Chery’s Global Soul – Bites Before The Brooklyn Museum
I know I can always find exactly what I’m looking for in Brooklyn. On Thursday, I took a trip to the Brooklyn Museum for a crash course in feminist art history. The Brooklyn Museum is one of my favorite spots because there’s always something interesting going on there. In addition, with the assistance of Google, I know I can always find an inexpensive restaurant to try nearby. This time, Google pointed me to Cheryl’s Global Soul located on 236 Underhill Avenue, steps away from the Brooklyn Museum. Cheryl’s is a small, quaint restaurant perfect for a quick fuel up before tackling the Museum. They have great entrees and appetizers, all priced around ten to fifteen bucks.…

Dining In TriBeCa For Two Under $60
I have a deep fondness for Asian cuisine. I could honestly devour Asian food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I didn’t care about my soy and sugar intake *silent tears*. There is something so indescribable about the savoriness of a well-prepared Asian meal. And for this reason, I had to take a trip to China Blue. Located in the heart of TriBeCa, China Blue serves delicious authentic Shanghainese food that will leave your taste buds and pockets extremely pleased, to say the least. The restaurant itself is tucked away on the corner of Watts and Washington street directly down the block from a breathtaking view of the Hudson River.…

Taiyaki x Taylor
If you are not paying attention, you might miss Taiyaki. Located on 294 Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Taiyaki serves up Japanese soft serve ice cream in fun fish-shaped waffle cones! I decided to try their Unicorn Taiyaki which is vanilla ice cream, rainbow sprinkles, a red bean cone and topped with an edible unicorn horn. Looks good right? Keep reading. The Unicorn Taiyaki taste like it’s from your average neighborhood ice cream truck. There is nothing special about this soft serve. If you’re looking for an Instagrammable ice cream spot, this is the place for you. But if you’re looking to indulge in some delicious ice cream, this isn’t the…
