Cafe Salamanca (Northern Blvd, Queens)
Cute restaurant and bar in Queens! The lights are dim it has a lot of colorful lighting that makes the vibes really cool. I loved La Bandeja Paisa here!
Mojitos (Northern Blvd, Queens)
You pay and can eat anything you want for 2 hours! I've been here three times and the different types of meat they offer are so good plus getting to cook them at your own liking is such a fun experience imo! It's cheaper during lunch hours but dinner...
Gen Korean BBQ House (Union Square)
The first floor is a restaurant and the second one has a lot of stands like little bars where you can eat or have a drink! A little more pricey because it's located in a touristic place but the food is really good plus the vibes and the music are so ...

snack places
Fav places to go have a little snack and just hang out <3

'ESSEN | Buffet Restaurant
cute cafes
amazing to take pics for the gram and have a little sweet treat! <3
First time trying tiramisu. I got the original one and OMG IT WAS AMAZING! The whole vibe and aesthetic of the place was so cute too. One piece is $15 but I honestly think is worth it!
CAFE 2BY2
Not a big fan of Matcha but I've been here with my friend multiple times and she loves it! They also have smoothies and some pastries. The place is also really cute I see people there working and doing homework all the time.
