We first tried Filipino restaurant Jollibee back in 2016. Since then, its been a fast food favorite of ours.
After our first visit, a location opened in New York City with a more limited menu. On the way to the NY Times Travel Show, Lucas and I stopped in to enjoy a meal of Chickenjoy and Jolly Spaghetti. Continue reading Tasty! Jollibee Opening Times Square Flagship On August 18!
Around five years back, we gave popular Filipino fast food chain Jollibee a try for the first time.
I had first heard about the restaurant when Anthony Bourdain visited on his CNN series, Parts Unknown. After seeing that a location existed in Queens, NY, we headed over and it was instant fast food love! Continue reading Awesome! Jollibee Is Opening A Huge Flagship Location In NYC!
When visiting an international destination, I always make it a point to visit McDonald’s.
Besides being a real treat for my kids, I love seeing what interesting (and sometimes local) menu items might be offered.
I’ve also been to some very interesting looking McDonald’s. A couple that stand out is one with Maori cavings in New Zealand and another in Pennsylvania which has a train car attached to it! Continue reading Bad News: Unique McDonald’s Times Square Closing For Good
It’s going to be cheeseburgers in paradise in New York City as plans were announced for the opening of a Margaritaville Resort in Times Square.

For those of you visiting a city like New York for the first time, there are lots of scams to look out for during your trip.
Last year I wrote about a tourist who paid $400 for a free trip on the Staten Island Ferry. In a new scam that I recently came across, a tourist was taken for lots of money by Mickey Mouse. Continue reading Scam: Tourist Charged $310 for Photo with Times Square Mickey Mouse
Times Square is an area in NYC that I try my best to avoid.
With an abundance of bright lights and costume characters, there’s also no shortage of mega-stores like M&Ms World, Hershey’s Chocolate World, Disney Store, a giant Toys R Us with a ferris wheel inside.
Food options aren’t great in the area and I’d recommend trying the amazing onion soup burger at Le Rivage which is a short walk away.
If you’re a fan of breakfast, specifically cereal and you’ll be near Times Square you’ll soon have an interesting place to dine. Continue reading Kellogg’s Cereal Restaurant Opening in NYC
Kim and I recently went to see Cirque du Soleil’s Paramour on Broadway.
With the show starting at 7:30 PM and lasting for around two hours, we needed to find a place to go for dinner close by (before the show).
Since I try to avoid the Times Square area as much as possible, I wasn’t really sure where we should dine. But then I remembered a place that I had read about a while back which served a burger that won the New York City Wine & Food Festival’s Burger Bash in 2013.
That made our decision easy. Kim and I headed to a pre-theater dinner at Le Rivage NYC. Continue reading The Amazing French Onion Soup Burger at Le Rivage NYC
