Doesn’t this picture look fab? Doesn’t the OK diner somehow look much more regal in black and white, compared to it’s usual pinkish-red and blue neon flashing signs? This gem of a diner is located on the A19, relatively close to Hartlepool. So yes, it took about 30-40 minutes to drive to from my house,Continue reading “OK American Diner (A19)”
Doughnut Plant
On our last day in New York, we only had a few dollars and dimes to our name and we were trying to make them last!

We had heard that they were the best placeContinue reading “Doughnut Plant”
Elizabethan Banquet
With our 1 year wedding anniversary approaching, and some Lumely Castle gift vouchers that had never been used; we booked ourselves in for an Elizabethan Banquet last Saturday evening.

The Chin Chin Laboratorists

Our destination was the Grainger Market, a Grade I listed building dating back to 1835 which housesContinue reading “Grainger Market: Pizza By The Slice & Pet Lamb Patisserie”

A morning adventure, in search of breakfast, led us to this gorgeous little bakery tucked away in Chelsea Market, New York. Chelsea Market is one of my favourite places. It has lots of different, specialised shops selling food products such as Milk Bar, Hale and Hearty Soups and the Lobster Place where you can buyContinue reading “Amy’s Bread”
Shake Shack
One hot, sunny day in New York we stumbled across this gem of a fast food restaurant in Madison Square Park. We waited in line and bought two delicious hot dogs and two chocolate milkshakes (one malted!).
