New York has more than its fair share of fine dining establishments, and many delis to be sure, but sometimes nothing heals the soul better than the cheap sandwiches, fries, omelets and around-the-clock banana pancakes served up at a classic NYC greasy spoon. Of course, diners are more than just 24-hour griddle factories; the best ones double as a fading oasis of simple 1950s ambiance — one that's being drowned out by chain sub shops and vegan burger bistros. After spending $40.00 on burgers and fries on our first trip to New York City, 21 years ago, Mr. P and I decided to seek out and find a few homey diners. Places we felt at ease, comfortable in our jeans and to enjoy good food without breaking the bank. Luckily, New York City has got many classic diners to choose from — here are ten of the city's best.

The sweat slowly starts to trickle down my back as we stand in line at the Orangery restaurant in Kensington Gardens. It’s one of those late summer hot days and the waiting line for the restaurant is in the middle of the terrace, in the scorching sun… I feel the sweat starting to go down...Read More »

Did you know we have our own tiny little vegetable plot since this year? It’s maybe not even worth mentioning but we have rocket, tomatoes, salad, chives, parsley, rosemary, thyme and lemonmelisse (not sure if that is the correct name for this herb, will look it up!) O and a lavas plant. Not everything is...Read More »
It’s not surprise that people tend to overindulge during the holidays. I mean, who doesn’t? All that amazing food and all the celebrations that we go to, it’s just inevitable that we tend to overeat at parties. But it’s not…
Dry lips always seem to be a downhill struggle for me. I know all the usual things to try between drinking lots of water and keeping my lips protected. It must be the time of the year or just getting older in general, but my lips are driving me nuts. They always feel and look dry lately. I don’t regularly exfoliate my lips until it’s completely mandatory.
You may have gauged from my instagram feed that I’m in New York at the moment! I’ve been eating a whoooole lot of ice cream  – 4 different places in one week, and I have 3 weeks left! I swear Morganstern’s has been recommended to me at least 10 times now, so that’s my next stop...Read More »
This is the cake I currently bring to parties, potlucks and any gatherings that involve food. It's a great conversation starter, usually beginning with the explanation on why the cake is green. No artificial coloring, I emphasize. The color comes from a leaf called pandan.
As the years tick on in life you begin to realize the importance of spending time with family and friends. Throwing a last minute party together can be easy to do if you just concentrate on a few important things leaving you less stressed and with more energy for the actual party itself!
