Every year, we compile our NYC restaurant highlights that left us speechless. NYC is a revolving door for restaurants and it’s hard to keep up with the best “new hot thing.” But we spent the last 12 months eating to bring you our comprehensive list of the best new restaurants, bakeries, and everything in between that opened in 2023.

Disclaimer: it was extremely difficult to limit this list down.

This is the ultimate guide to NYC’s Chinatown with everything from where to get the best dumplings and noodles to sweet treats like mochi donuts and bubble tea.

We absolutely adore visiting Hudson Valley! It’s the perfect weekend escape from New York City or Connecticut. Whether you’re visiting for a romantic weekend away, a big group hang, or a bachelorette trip… we’ve got you covered. This guide has everything from where to eat, stay, drink, and what to do.

After many trips out east, we have eaten at enough places to be able to give you guys the rundown of where to eat in the Hamptons.

Also, where to stay, go out, and where to skip!

Featured towns: Montauk, Southampton, Sag Harbor, Amagansett, Water Mill, Bridgehampton, Hampton Bays and a few recs for Shelter Island.

We loved growing up in CT, and still visit quite often. Here are all our favorite spots in our home state! We have everything broken out by cuisine and this should be your ultimate guide to CT whether you’re a new resident or just passing through the state.

There’s not many things we enjoy more than a good afternoon tea! New York City offers SO many places for afternoon tea. Not sure about you, but having afternoon tea makes us feel so classy and elegant. Some are not worth your money, while others, you could sit at while sipping tea and enjoying scones for hours.

We get asked ALL THE TIME where to go for a large group meal. Believe us, after celebrating countless birthdays in New York City, we understand the struggle. Most places either don’t take reservations or have a minimum large party spend. We’ve compiled a list for you with lots of good options for your next celebration.
