Din Tai Fung
We missed eating out here last year, so I was looking forward to finally eating here. It’s all about the dumplings here so we were going to definitely try a lot of those. We had ordered cucumber salad, hot & sour soup, shrimp fried rice, green beans and bunch of dumplings of course! The first…

Verjus
Been wanting to go here. Never went when they were open before, but thanks to Steven’s invite, I finally had a chance to go. Verjus is a French-inspired wine bar from the owners of Quince (where we’re have some of our best meals, but in our opinion has fallen off in our most recent dining)…

Flour + Water
We’ve been meaning to eat here ever since they opened in 2009(!). When they first opened, there were no reservations and it was wait in line only so we never bothered. During the pandemic, we did have some of their food kits. We had also ordered on numerous occasions from the pasta shop and eaten…

Hazie’s
Our dinner at Dumpling Home was so quick, we decided to go to Hazie’s for some after dinner drinks since it was on our way back to our car and it looked quite nice from the previous times we’ve walked by it. Also, I had been reading about this new restaurant app, Blackbird, and this…

Dumpling Home
When we went to Nightbird a few weeks ago, we passed by Dumpling Home on our way. This was also on our list of places to try, but we hadn’t prioritized it since since you can’t make reservations (line up and put your name on the yelp list once open). Andrea had been thinking about…

Billingsgate
Just a quick lunch after my Saturday run (trying to get back into shape, so only up to 5 miles at this point). We usually purchase our seafood here, but they also make some cold dishes and was a good option to get something healthy and fresh. I started with the Wild Scallops Ceviche and…

San Ho Won
Andrea and I first ate here back in December of 2021 not too long after they first opened in November of that year. It was hailed as being high-end Korean cuisine with Corey Lee, of Benu fame, as one of the founders. We had very high expectations from our experience at Benu. Back then, we…

Saru
Popped in for a quick lunch at Saru. When they used to have lunch service during the week pre-pandemic, I had eaten here a 2 or 3 times a week after my mid-day run because they had a lunch menu then. Saru is only open for weekends now and it’s the same menu for lunch…

Virgin Upper Class – LHR to SFO
Upper Class seating on Virgin planes is a bit weird since you are in pods angled in sort of a herringbone type pattern. They are also a bit odd because the walls on them are not very high so you generally see everyone else due I had booked our seats across from each other because…

Virgin Clubhouse at London Heathrow
First time flying first class on Virgin. This was quite a treat at Heathrow. First, we were able to get dropped off at the separate check-in and security for first class passengers; Virgin calls this their Upper Class Wing. We basically pulled up and porters helped us with our luggage. There was no line for…
