My Big Announcement

Can you believe it's spring already? I feel like just yesterday I was ringing in the new year. It's moments like these that I am reminded of a line from a play I saw back in high school. "The days are long but the years pass by fast." 

With the new season comes some exciting news. I've been trying to figure out how to break the news on the constant hunger, but figured I'd keep it short, sweet and to the point. I'm moving to San Francisco! A new city, new pace of life and new restaurants to discover and write about. I will be looking for a new job which means I will have plenty of time to devote to the blog. 

My cozy and functional New York kitchen.

Even though I'm looking forward to moving out west, it is bittersweet. New York has been my home for the past four years and it has been the most exciting period of my life. I am trying to figure out how to say goodbye to this culinary mecca (and have a pretty good idea). My time here has really shaped my tastes and opinions about food. This is where my passion for food developed into a full-on obsession. I must give it a proper goodbye.

In the meantime, if anyone has some restaurant, bakery, grocery store, food truck, winery recommendations for the Bay Area, please post them in the comments section. I can't wait to discover new flavors. And I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about heading to Sonoma and Napa Valley (learning about wine was one of my new year's resolutions). 

Happy cooking!

Thanks Andra!

This is exciting news. You will love it out there. The Tipsy Pig is a great restaurant and bar scene. Playtapus Tours is a great wine country tour to get an over view of the area - they do Sonoma and Napa separately.

Good for you, Alina. Can't wait to read all about your cooking and reading life in that great city. Good luck with the move! - S

It sounds like you're very excited and I've heard it's very beautiful out there. As a fellow New Yorker, I can relate to the size of the kitchen in your photo :) Why San Francisco?

Good luck!!! More foodie adventures await on the opposite coast :)

What an opportunity! Grab it and growl, as my Dad would say! I look forward to hearing of all your adventures as you adjust to West Coast living ...
