For years I've been hearing how amazing Zen Palate is for vegetarians. Seeing that my best friend is vegetarian, I even considered taking him for his birthday over the last many years. But after today's accidental encounter at the Union Square location, THANK GOD I never did! The menu (which is extensive) looked wonderful from the outside, not to… Continue reading Zen Palate Ruined My Palate

Bar Americain: Expensive but Yummy
I had a great time at Bar Americain. The food was delicious - I do love the flavors Bobby Flay puts together.

Having said all that, it is exactly what you would expect from a famous chef's restaurant: overpriced.… Continue reading Bar Americain: Expensive but Yummy
Daily Recommendation: Homemade Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
August 9: Homemade Oatmeal Raising Cookies I recently bought two containers of old fashioned Quaker Oats and after attempting for the nth time to make it a breakfast regular, I realized it was useless.

Best Pizza… EVER in Kutna Hora!
Small town. Dark. Gray. Cloudy. Medieval. Cobblestones. Quiet. Secluded. Historic. No English. These are the words that describe the little town of Kutna Hora in Czech Republic.

I knew it… Continue reading Best Pizza… EVER in Kutna Hora!

Thai Thai – Nice Ambiance, Hit or Miss Food
A new Thai place to try in New Jersey? YES PLEASE! So far I've tried 5 Thai restaurants in NJ and have my favorite but am hoping to find one that will top it (no luck yet).

To watch my daily recommendations on Snapchat, be sure to follow me at “SaadiaExplores”. April 5: Your Health, Your Priority I've always been relatively active - dance, gym, kick boxing, zumba, aerobics, yoga. You name it, and I've tried it, BUT I've never been consistent with any of it.

To watch my daily recommendations on Snapchat, be sure to follow me at “SaadiaExplores”. April 2/3: Don't Begin with "So" on Snapchat It's as annoying as saying "umm" during a presentation, the word, "so".
