Food & Recipes, Travel & Lifestyle, Everything New York City.

Welcome to Mitzie Mee, my corner of the internet where good food and great trips always seem to find each other. This is where I share the restaurants I fall for, the recipes I keep coming back to, and the places that make me want to pack my bags all over again. I write the way I travel, with curiosity and a healthy appetite, and whether I’m eating oysters in Denmark, chasing the best ramen in Tokyo, or checking out what’s new in New York, I bring you along for the ride. If you’re into thoughtful travel, delicious food, and the occasional unexpected detour, you’re in the right place.
