"I missed having a place that is a "quiet" place to chill and just eat sweets. My friends invited me out, stating that Spot had some really yummy desserts. Ordered the "Family Style" of 3 desserts at…" - Joanna

"I live 5 minutes from the Union Square Trader Joe's, so I know the horror of waiting up to 40 minutes in line sometimes... so it was such a relief to be able to get through the line with less than a 2…" - Joanna

"I've never been a great karaoke singer, but at Toto, I just tend to be APPALLINGLY bad. Why? Many of the songs are waaay off key, or they're flat. I've been there a few times, once for my birthday.…" - Joanna

"I've been going to DDK since I moved to the area. Jamie, the woman who runs the counter, is very nice and courteous. Since we discovered we both speak Chinese, I've been speaking Chinese to her every…" - Joanna

"Went for brunch. Seemed to be the trendy "it" spot for Connecticut families coming to the city to have a nice sit-down brunch. Think, sweaters tied around shoulders. Arrived and was seated on the 2nd…" - Joanna

"Oh Taj. You're down the street from me, yet I tend to avoid that area. I've been to Taj twice in the past year or so. The first time for an Ivy mixer (heh... I was a plus 1) and the second time for a…" - Joanna

"Wow. There must really be no good food on Hilton Head for all the people that were inside. Firstly, I guess I should leave a slight disclaimer before I give my review. I'm from NYC. I eat brunch…" - Joanna

"Brooklyn Bowl is my new hot spot! I love how you can play a free hour including shoes Monday through Thursday between 6-7pm. After that it's $40/hour, but hey, can't beat getting an hour free!…" - Joanna

"It wasn't as amazing as I thought it would be. The Gremlin was what made my meal. Half grape, half lemonade... who would've thought it'd be such a great mix? Ordered the South Philly Chickensteak.…" - Joanna

""Be afraid... Be very afraid." Despite it being broad daylight, the Eastern State Pen had that creepy feel to it, like you weren't the only ones there (and I don't mean, other visitors, I mean the…" - Joanna

"After just getting back from Italy, I'd been craving good gelato. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find that in New York (strange right, but I haven't looked very hard yet). When I took my side…" - Joanna

"It makes me sad to see so many bad reviews for Shine. I've never had a bad experience with them. They're at the corner of my street and I'll stop by for a sandwich when I'm in the mood. My favorite is…" - Joanna

"Yes, I did wait in a line to go to brunch. Strangely, it didn't turn me away from wanting to go in! Sat at the bar, which turned out to be a great idea. Attentive servers (I mean they have to be at…" - Joanna

"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more. That's what I wanted to say when I walked into Carnival... unfortunately I was too out of breath from climbing 5 flights of stairs to even say a…" - Joanna

"The food is healthy (really healthy...!), with a good variety... but unfortunately that makes it... BLAND! I decided to stop in after trying to avoid it for months, and was treated to a really bland…" - Joanna

"Beautiful bar with shelves lined with every whiskey imaginable (or at least more than I can imagine). Friendly wait staff and a delicious prix fixe that was $16 for a poached egg, slice of ham,…" - Joanna

"I completely forgot to write an update when I moved away from the UES. I really miss Cleaners 77. Lawrence was one of the best cleaners that I've dealt with. Always gracious and kind. Even if a little…" - Joanna

"Dear Basta Pasta,The sea urchin pasta (not the one on your online menu...) was so mind numbingly delicious that I'm practically drooling as I write this letter. As I attempt to regain my composure, I…" - Joanna

"Out of all the places I went in Puerto Rico, Raices wins. Around 10pm, there was still a list to get in, the place was packed. The atmosphere was unique, the waiters and waitresses dressed up.…" - Joanna

"I've been thinking about the duck breast with plums all day. I've mentioned it in nearly every conversation I've had... to my manager: "Soo... about this report, well, it's not as good as the duck I…" - Joanna

"[In best nature TV show announcer voice] Watching the elusive Elite Yelper vultures from a safe distance, their methods have not changed over the past hundred years. When their prey; servers with…" - Joanna

"I'm obsessed with this adorable little truck. First of all, talk about totally gracious, hilarious and awesome. When I spotted the truck off of Union Square I was so excited! I ran up to the truck…" - Joanna

"Friday morning, plan to go read and chill. Walked down to Cafe Orlin. The original plan was to sit outside, unfortunately I was a little warm from the walk down, so I went inside and found a table. AC…" - Joanna

"Purely based on dessert. How I've never stumbled into Ssam Bar before this, I have no idea. I've been next door to Milk Bar more than once, but Ssam, nope. Took a glance, never went in. The night…" - Joanna

"Hot, humid, sticky, tasty, thirst-quenching, sun-soaked, sand-covered, oh god, the best Yelp event thusfar. Can we have beach parties all year round? Took the water taxi across the way, arrived with…" - Joanna

"Oh Fairway, the mecca of grocery shopping. How your aisles filled with more people than necessary, very helpful employees and overly packed shelves make me smile every time I enter. Fruits and…" - Joanna

"Hello Kun Jip and your two lines to get in. Not only do you have to wait in a line outdoors, but there's also a line inside! The shuffle you about like cattle, but you listen... you want your Kun Jip…" - Joanna

"Summer Summer Summertimmmee! That's how it feels at Loreley. You enter through a slightly unfriendly door, but you get to sit in a very friendly backyard. Under a tent (or some not under the tent)…" - Joanna

"Boka definitely has the most confused waitstaff I've ever met. They're not prepared for the all you can eat bonchon + beer offer. The first time I went, the chicken was coming out at snail's pace, but…" - Joanna
