B-Hive Lounge




Tonight was girls night out on the town. A couple of girlfriends and I were looking for a good spot to just chill and be happy. Well, we lucked out! The girls and I settled at a great spot, the B-Hive Lounge in Brooklyn, NY.

This spot is conveniently located on Atlantic Avenue near the corner of Grand Avenue and has much to offer its patrons. There are Reggae Mondays, Time Out Tuesdays, Caribbean Spice Wednesdays, After Work Thursdays, Blazin Hot Fridays, Sophisticated Saturdays and Soul Food Sundays plus much more to look forward to experiencing. The B-Hive's ambiance is wonderful. It consist of  a bar area in the front and huge dance floor in the back. The music kept people jumping to their feet and running to the dance floor.

They have also recently added food to this locale. The menu included a variety of choices which includes fried shrimp, salmon cakes and honey mustard wings to name a few delightful items. I tasted the fried shrimp, salmon cakes and french fries. The entire meal was scrumptious!

The night was fantastic & we will return!

Chef Yu


The Chef Yu Restaurant located in the garment district at 520 8th Avenue in New York City is a treat.  This chinese restaurant prides itself on being authentic. While I honestly don't know what authentic chinese food tastes like, I do know the food served in this place is delicious. 

The ambience is lovely.  The simply elegant table settings are complimented by gentle lights and there are few booths available as well. It has a cozy feel, even though, parties are welcome.

I have frequented this restaurant and no matter what I eat my delicate palate is satisfied.  I only have one rule, which is to also order dumplings and a scallion pancake for the table.

Mark Chef Yu on your list as a place to visit.  You can start with the website, which is www.chefyu-nyc.com, but it's better in person.

Village Natural

I have enjoyed lunching in New York City's Village Natural restaurant. I have only been there a couple of times, but feel confident about calling it a great find.

It's located on Greenwich Avenue between 6th & 7th Avenues. The menu offers wide varieties including Mexican Platters and Seafood Entrees to Japanese Lunch Boxes and Vegan Pies.

While I was there I had Soy Nuggets with honey mustard for my appetizer and Vegetarian Chicken Salad, which includes crispy soy bacon, tofu, avocado served over crisp mixed greens, carrots, tomatoes and cucumbers. The nuggets were delicious, although, you only get three. The honey mustard sauce was one of the best I've had. It was very thick and rich. My salad was huge and scrumptious. This was my first time tasting soy bacon and I was impressed.
If you're looking for healthier choices with delectable flavor try Village Natural.
