NEW Wing Wednesday all day today and every Wednesday at Pok Pok Po 🐓

You can choose between their Signature tangy Pok Pok Wings or the zesty Lemon Spice Wings, and pair them with either Yanch or Yummy sauce for dipping. Add a side of crispy French fries or Sidewinders— don’t forget to ask for their signature seasoning on the fries! My personal favorite combo is the Pok Pok Wings with Yanch and the Sidewinder fries dipped in Yummy sauce. Trust me, those sauces are amazing— the Yummy sauce is exclusive to Wing Wednesday and is made fresh every three hours. Don’t miss out today, or you’ll have to wait until next week! Wings are also only available on Wednesdays too!
📍: @pokpokpochicken 3201 Louisiana Street, Suite 108, Houston, Texas 77006

Brunch is on at @chachatangnyc — and it’s not your usual lineup. 🥢✨

The new weekend brunch menu brings together familiar Cantonese flavors with a NYC twist — think soup dumplings, siu mai, and scallion pancakes alongside thoughtful brunch entrées such as the B.E.C. milk bread sando and pork belly bao eggs benedict. It’s unfussy, tasty, and easy to linger over — especially if you’re lucky enough to catch a sunny patio seat.

For anyone craving something familiar but far from routine, go check out the brunch at @chachatangnyc!

A true hidden gem and easily one of the most underrated spots in the city — @octo.nyc.

Ever since @jiho_kim_pastry introduced me to Octo in late 2023, it’s been my go-to for bringing chefs, out-of-town friends, and anyone who loves bold, flavor-packed Korean-Chinese food.

Chef Leon has crafted a menu full of standouts—dishes that have become instant staples—while still pushing boundaries with new creations inspired by his upbringing in South Korea.

If you haven’t been, this spot needs to be on your list. My must-orders: truffle steak jjangmyeon, Peking duck (regular or black truffle), cucumber radish salad, crispy shrimp sandwich, and glazed orange king prawns. Every dish is a hit!

Had a truly wonderful evening at the newishly opened @thirdfalcon_bk in Fort Greene.

The restaurant strikes that perfect balance—elegant but unfussy, refined yet deeply comforting. The menu is a love letter to Northern France, with a focus on pristine seafood, market-driven ingredients, and rich, layered flavors that feel both classic and fresh. Every dish was executed wonderfully, and the warm, inviting atmosphere made the experience even better.

It’s the kind of place where you lose track of time over great food, great wine, and great company. Already looking forward to the next visit!

If you’re looking for a spot that feels like a warm hug in restaurant form, @sunnsnyc is it.

The space is cozy, the vibe is welcoming, and the food….super comforting. The menu is small but perfectly curated—we actually ordered everything and had no regrets. Every dish was flavorful, thoughtfully prepared, and made for sharing.

If you haven’t been yet, put this place on your list. Grateful to have celebrated @danahn17’s birthday here—truly one of the best people I know. Good food, great company, the perfect night!
