One of my favorite finds in Tokyo — a seven-course Wagyu & Sake pairing that’s pure magic from start to finish. 🍶🥢

We first came here back in 2023 and couldn’t stop thinking about it… so of course we came back with friends.

Seven dishes, seven sakes, and endless happy bites. 🇯🇵✨

3 weeks. 2 group trips. 1 birthday. A whole lot of reflection (and ramen). 😏🍜

Japan gave me time to slow down, think big, and remember why I started this journey in the first place.

Came home with clarity, gratitude, and a little jet lag.

Thank you to the 13 adventurous souls who joined me for our first Japan trip(s) — a time was had. 🇯🇵✨

2024 was filled with love in all its forms ❤️

Acceptance – embracing growth and change
Self-love – showing up for myself even when the days were tough 
Nostalgia – cherishing the memories that shaped me and reflecting on who i want to become 
Sisterly love – keeping me grounded and sane 
Love for my partner – evolving and growing into something even more beautiful
Forgiveness – both given and received, creating space for healing

Love for good food, new music, and creating memories in a brand-new space—a new apartment, a new neighborhood, a new borough… am I officially a Bronx girl now? lol 

And most special of all: watching others grow and witnessing their love blossom.

2024, you were amazing and I’m so thankful. Here’s to carrying this love into the new year ✨

Unposted: Part II Memorable Bites

This year brought some of the most unforgettable bites of my life and my flavor profile grew in ways I didn’t expect.

Most came from our journey through Asia, where high standards, quality ingredients, and rich history make every bite *chefs kiss*

Mexico City, NYC, and Philly obviously delivered drool worthy bites that’ll live in my mind rent-free. 

TBH Instagram really needs to give me a 20-photo limit because I’ve got too many favs 😭
