....well, it's one of the famous NYC donut places. My friend told me about the place and my mission is to try 
it out. The place is small but there is always line extends to outside. The prices are a bit pricey. A box of 
donuts will rack you to almost $40. There are a bunch of selection from chocolate, blueberry, peanut butter, 
creme brulee and more.My favorite donut is creme brulee..

Great Chili fries

Joey B's Famous Chili Hub
118 River Rd
Cos Cob, CT 06807

It's a very small diner with the capacity of 10 indoor and 20 outdoor. The diner is known for the chili so I had to try the chili fries. It was spicy and meaty. I had to tried there 3 hotdogs in a bun, which was very fulfilling. The meal was okay. It came out to be around 28 bucks.

Garbage Plate

Nick Tahou Hots, Inc.
320 W. Main St.
Rochester, NY 14608
585-436-0184

3070 West Henrietta Rd.
Rochester, NY 14623
585-272-1182

Very excited that it was my first time to have a garbage plate. A Garbage Plate is a combination of one selection of cheeseburger, hamburger, red hots, white hots, Italian sausage, chicken tender, fish (haddock), fried ham, grilled cheese, or eggs; and two sides of either home fries, French fries, baked beans, or macaroni salad. It's the level of grossness and goodness.

We went to a warehouse in the back. Luckily the line wasn't line since I always hear that it's always packed. The meal was decent since we printed out the $2.00 off coupon on their website. My meal came out to be around 8 bucks. The food was good. Definitely filled me up. Not sure if I could have garbage all the time but it was a good experience.

Utica, Beer and Pubs

In a small town of Utica, where the population is very minute but they are known for there breweries. We went to a place call Nail Creek. It's a cute house like pub. We stayed outside to catch the sun. What I appreciate the most is that the food is made from scratch, affordable and it's delicious. Definitely, the spinach artichoke was my best dish.

Maryann's Mexican Restaurant
23 1/2 North Main Street Road,
Portchester, New York
914-939-8700
www.maryannsmexican.com

I kept hearing about Mary Ann's and wanted to try it out. Since the one in Portchester has been relocated, I definitely need to try it out. I love the interior decor: it looks like a puebla, like it brings us to their home. The service is good. My margarita was pretty strong. We ordered chicken fajita and guacamole. I didn't have a big appetite but my guacamole was delicious.

If Portchester is far from you then you can check out their franchise in Tribeca and Chelsea in the Metro Area.
