Coffee with Arnold Wilkerson of the Little Pie Company

February 7, 2019February 18, 2019 Saira Rasheed2 Comments

I stumbled upon the Little Pie Company during the summer of 2018 when I was staying at the Cachet Hotel. I take early morning jet lagged walks in the neighborhood and that is how I find the hidden gems of the city one of which was the Little Pie Company. I found myself drooling over [...]

Coffee with Nicola Farinetti of Eataly

February 2, 2019February 2, 2019 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

I discovered Eataly a few years ago when a friend recommended we meet for dinner at the Flatiron location. I was left speechless by the variety and 'Italian-ness' of the place (if that was a word!). You will be in an Italian heaven the second you enter the store. The first thought that came to [...]

Coffee with Gabrielle Rubinstein from Joe Coffee

October 26, 2018November 23, 2020 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

My first experience of Joe was on New Year's day 2015 on the Upper West Side at 7 am. It still is one of the best barista conversations I have had till date considering I was really jet lagged, hung over from the night before and just plain new to the neighborhood. When I revisited [...]

Coffee with Anshu Anghotra

October 14, 2018October 21, 2018 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

My first Jean-Georges experience was at the Mark Hotel in New York. A glamorous destination of the Upper East Side yet offering simple and classic dishes. Jean-Georges at the Connaught is a replica of that but in the heart of Mayfair and in one of the most understated 5 star hotels you will come across. [...]

Coffee with Niamh Larkin, Executive Pastry Chef of 45 Park Lane

July 21, 2018July 21, 2018 Saira Rasheed1 Comment

Breakfast at CUT at 45 Park Lane has always been a favourite, especially their French toasts. I was ecstatic when I heard that 45 Park Lane is launching an American version of Afternoon Tea. Personally sandwiches do not excite me, it is usually the desserts that I look out for during afternoon tea. 45 Park [...]

Coffee with Ken Aretsky, a true New York restaurateur

July 8, 2018July 21, 2018 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

Aretsky’s Patroon is Manhattan’s best kept secret.  I stumbled upon it last year when I visited New York for my birthday and was recommended for dinner by the concierge at The New York Palace. I have a weakness for steak whenever I am in New York and this was something new for me to try. [...]

The Principal London

May 12, 2018May 12, 2018 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

Russell Square holds a special and nostalgic place in my heart. I spent 3 years at Holborn and Fitzrovia whilst I studied at LSE and Brunswick was a key part of the evenings we spent hanging out with friends who lived near there. It is great to see that hotels have considered Holborn and Russell [...]
