An afternoon with Michael McCarty

January 22, 2023January 22, 2023 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

For as long as I can remember, I have loved a party and there is no better party than a great restaurant alive with conversation, clinking glasses, smooth service and delicious food.. Michael is an enigmatic personality. He is what restaurateurs should be like - warm, welcoming and with a presence that all guests recognise. [...]

A Sanctuary in Times Square

August 5, 2022August 7, 2022 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

When people talk Times Square, they're usually referring to extremely busy and full of tourists. Very few people want to stay in Times Square because the assumption has always been big hotels, impersonal service and chain restaurants and a very overwhelming atmosphere. I personally enjoy staying in the neighborhood due to many reasons. It is [...]

The Walker Hotel TriBeca

June 13, 2022June 22, 2022 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

The Walker has become a home away from home. It's a wonderful feeling when you revisit a hotel or restaurant, and you're immediately recognised by the staff. It's also wonderful when you're checking out and the staff asks when you'll be back. All these small details make a world of a difference. The Walker Hotel [...]

An afternoon at Devocion

March 8, 2022 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

I stumbled upon Devocion when a friend discovered my coffee blog and encouraged me to pay a visit. I wasn't aware that there could be such a thing as the 'freshest coffee available bean to cup' or of the concept of 'sparkling coffee' both of which are available at Devocion. I organised to visit the [...]

A week at Jacques….

March 8, 2022March 8, 2022 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

I have been visiting The Lowell for years and needless to say, it is a home away from home but rarely did I spend the amount of time I did during this trip, mingling with guests, the team at Jacques and The Club Room and realising how well connected the place can be if you [...]

MarieBelle SoHo New York

December 22, 2021 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

Nothing beats waking up early in New York to make my way downtown to SoHo. I don't know if it is just me, but SoHo feels like another city. It is chic, bright and the coffee shops are another level of trendy. I had arranged prior to leaving to New York to meet with Maribel, [...]

Intercontinental New York, Return to Manhattan

December 16, 2021December 18, 2021 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

I was nervous before the big trip. I was flying back to New York after exactly 20 months and it was hard to believe that the time had arrived. Something in me felt like it was just yesterday that I was in Manhattan. However, another part of me knew deeply that a lot of time [...]

An Ode to that Pink Building on the Upper East Side

April 30, 2021April 30, 2021 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

My first trip as an adult to New York was in 2014. It was a hot summer and I was in the city for a brief visit. I treated myself to a special night at The Mark Hotel which was exceptional and swanky. Some industry colleagues told me about it in London and it seemed [...]

Erin Jeanne McDowell: The Pie Maestro

December 15, 2020December 15, 2020 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

This year has done unthinkable things to me. I missed New York mentally. I still do. But I began thinking about all the places I missed and how could I recreate those specific desserts at home. An American Pie and Banana Cream Pudding aren't available here. So I had to find a way to curb [...]

Coffee bars at hotels are a special place especially in New York.
