I turned 30 last month, and there was one thing I really wanted to do on my birthday: have brunch in NYC. I got exactly what I wanted and more when my friends and I brunched at Maya in the Upper East Side. This is another adventure of the Hungry Trio. I chose Maya for…

NYC Eats

In 2019, I went to New York for the first time, and I have been itching to get back ever since. So, I figured turning 30 was a good enough excuse as any to make it back to the Big Apple. My friends Chris, Andrew, and Anthony came up from DC and met me in…

Shoyou Sushi – Baltimore

For the last few years, I have heard my friend, Anthony, talk about how good this sushi restaurant is in Baltimore, Shoyou Sushi  I was a total skeptic.
