Not really sure how I didn’t know that La Sirena is a thing, considering it’s right across the street from Chelsea Market and everyone else seems to know it exists, but you aren’t living if you aren’t learning and so here we are! I loved the vibes of this place! It’s half outside, but the good […]

Me and the places I eat + the dishes I cook.
Blue Smoke, NYC
Since BBQ is not often enough treated as the gender-neutral experience that it deserves to be, one of my girlfriends and I decided to have a dainty little (HA!) dinner at Blue Smoke before heading to our friend’s birthday party the other night. Blue Smoke totes itself as “a barbecue restaurant rooted in the culinary […]
BH Kitchen, NYC
Just a shout out to the lovely BH Kitchen in NYC and some yummy bar snacks/these adult (that means “boozy”) milkshakes we just shared. Life is but a memory meant to be had ❤️
Happy Fourth of July!
Wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy Fourth! I’m bubbling up a post I originally shared on Memorial Day, in case people have burger-making plans on their agendas today and want some delicious and easy tips! Hope your holiday is fun/relaxing/friend + family-filled/whatever you hope for it to be. Xo Charlene
Things I’m Eating – Chrissy Teigen Lettuce Wraps
So, Blue Apron is doing a partnership with Chrissy Teigen right now where they give you the ingredients to make her recipes, and I would like to take a moment to formally endorse it before I shove my face into this amazing food I just made. (P.S., apparently you get $50 off your first two […]
GATO, NYC

Except for alcohol, which is always a million dollars in NYC. Feel free to donate to my GoFund Me so I can continue to afford cocktails in […]
BoCaphe, NYC
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Watermelon-basil tea and Acai bowl @ French-influenced Vietnamese restaurant, BoCaphe. (This is officially the most-Brooklyn sentence I’ve ever written and that you’ve probably ever read and I wasn’t even in Brooklyn when this happened.) Cute/yummy/affordable, though! Xo Charlene
Let’s talk about Bobby Flay
It’s been almost (exactly? I think?) 1.5 months since I started Things I’m Thinking, and I’m already so grateful for/happy about the community that’s starting to form here. But, since this is all still relatively (extremely) new, I feel like it’s time for us to have another Get to Know Each Other moment, where we […]
The Distillery, NYC
By far my FAVORITE bar in the city. Such good vibes. SO YUMMY. Philly cheese steak egg rolls, build your own burger, and truffle fries pictured above. Happy hour starts at 4pm 🙂
7 Simple Burger Tips for Memorial Day
Happy Memorial Day! If you’ve been paying any attention to my last three food-related posts, I have been spending like a GLUTTONOUS FOOL the past couple of days, which means that – as long as my credit score and paying rent are important to me – I need to chill today. Cheeseburgers are never not […]
