hey friend!

I'm Sandy. Food fanatic. Aspiring Blogger. Dog mama to a Maltipoo named Saké (yup like the booze). NYC dweller. Wine lover. Saké drinker. Bourbon sipper. I have an unapologetic weakness for Starbucks Caramel Macchiatos (with extra whipped cream please), fluffy doughnuts, and double fried french fries with mayo, never ketchup. I love a perfectly juicy Shake Shack burger when I'm too tired to cook, or a slurp-worthy bowl of ramen, and would never turn down a generous shaving of fresh truffles, one of my favorite splurge worthy indulgences.

People say we eat with our eyes first, and that our visual perception affects our sense of smell and taste... so I hope my food photos will inspire you. Inspire you to feast with your eyes first, and then seek out the foods you enjoy (perhapse even new ones too) and truly savor-every-bite.

SONA: Fusion Indian in a Stylish Space

Chef Hari Nayak | INDIAN FOOD

City: New York City. 36 E 20th St, New York, NY 10003

BITE WORTHY | REVIEW | NEW YORK

If you’re in the mood for a spot that serves up fusion Indian with modern twists, that’s not your typical Indian culinary encyclopedia, then check out SONA (means gold in Hindi). The best strategy at SONA is to come with a group, and go family style, This way you can order different dishes to share.

According to Chef Hari Nayak, the dishes at SONA are unique with Eastern sensibilities and a Western outlook. The Indian dishes are seasonal and ingredient-driven, often with an emphasis on flavor and technique while exploring new preparations, and always Indian at heart! Originally opened and partially owned by Priyanka Chopra, the actress has recently parted ways with her business partner Maneesh Goyal.
