  3. 3 WORDS. TOSTONES PROTEIN CUPS. Crispy, savory, and a taste of culture in every bite 🇩🇴🇵🇷🫶🏽✨ Because who said we have to stop eating our favorite foods to achieve our fitness goals??? Mi gente, save this for your next protein dish 🍽️ Shrimp 🍤 1. Season with oregano, garlic, adobo, sazón, onion powder, black pepper, lime 2. In a pan, sauté freshly minced garlic, red onion, red pepper, green pepper, and tomato in butter and olive oil 3. Stir until slightly soft, then add the shrimp 4. Cook for about 10-15 minutes on medium heat until it’s looking juicyyyy Guacamole 🥑 1. Dice tomato, red onion, and cilantro 2. Combine together and add avocado, lime and salt Green Sauce 💚 1. Add greek yogurt, cilantro, garlic cloves, lime, salt, black pepper and a splash of avocado oil to a food processor 2. Blend until smooth and drizzle-worthy. I prefer it as a runny consistency, but if you want it more creamy add more Greek yogurt/avocado Tostone Cup 🍽️ 1. Peel and cut tostones into pieces 2. Initially fry until golden, making sure not to overcook as well be frying again 3. Using a lime squeezer or deep tostone masher, add some avocado oil and mash small portions of the fried tostone pieces together to create the cup shape 4. Fry for the second time on medium heat, making sure to get a crunchy texture 5. Add salt to all cups, guacamole, shrimp with its sauce, and drizzle the green yogurt sauce on top 6. Garnish with some cilantro Comment 🍤 if you plan on trying this one out 👀 #dominicana #proteinsnack #musclemami #platano #dominicanfood

  1. Chicago has entered the group chat!! This is the soul food spot in Chicago that got the Keith Lee approval (TWICE!), and trust me, @cleos_southerncuisine Cleo’s is everything they said it is. This is actually my second time pulling up here and it hit just as hard as the first. If you love soul food that grabs you by the heart AND the stomach, then this is for you! After TWO visits, I can confidently say it’s everything and more. 📍 Cleo’s Southern Cuisine / 4248 S Cottage Grove Ave, Chicago, Illinois Some standout dishes: ✨ Crabby Cat: catfish filets topped with Creole-buttered colossal crab + remoulade sauce, served with two sides + a 24-karat gold muffin. ✨ Fly Over: three Creole-fried catfish filets, three fried chicken wings, lump crab, Comeback sauce, two sides, and that same decadent gold muffin. This time, I went for the fried chicken Creole wings + House Cat, and paired them with buttery grits, creamy mac & cheese, candy yams, and green beans. The wings alone are fire, but when you dip into their Spiced Bourbon Chili sauce, it took it up a notch. Now these 24-Karat Gold Muffin are literal gold!! They’re hand-dipped in gold sauce like edible royalty. If you’re in Chicago and looking for a soul-food experience that’s Instagram worthy AND soul satisfying, Cleo’s is your move.

  2. If you’re looking for food seasoned with love, then you gotta make your way up to Mount Vernon to try out @caribbeansoulfooddelight ! Neek and her husband opened Caribbean Soul Food Delight 6 years ago and the rest is history. Neek is literally a ray of sunshine, so loving and it truly reflects in her cooking! 📍Caribbean Soul Food Delight / 197 Nepperhan Avenue Yonkers New York ✨ Spicy Honey Pepper Wings ✨ Oxtail (I approve🔥) ✨ Turkey Chops ✨ Cornbread 😮‍💨 ✨ Jerk Chicken Rasta Pasta ✨ Sides: Mac & Cheese, Collard Greens, Candied Tams, Jerk Mac & Cheese + Cabbage ✨ Banana Pudding ✨ Blueberry Lemonade, Classic Lemonade and Rum Punch The food was gooood! My favorites were the oxtail and jerk chicken Rasta pasta. All the sides were delicious so you can’t go wrong with whatever you choose. Check them out!

  3. The Cabin Trip actually made it out the group chat 🪵 just a 2 1/2 hour drive from NYC, this is the perfect quick getaway. 📍 @leisurelake_resort / Leisure Lake Resort: 140 Leisure Lake, Scotrun, PA We just got back from the most incredible group getaway! From cozy cabins to the massive mansion that sleeps 16, this place is perfect for families, friends, or anyone needing a reset. Here’s what made our trip unforgettable: 🏡 Accommodations: ✨ Standard cozy cabins ✨ Mansion sleeps 16 guests ✨ 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, including a king master suite ✨ Kid Friendly room with 3 bunk beds, beanbags, and video games 🎮 🔥 Outdoor Fun: 🪵 Massive fire pit (roast those marshmallows!) 🌊 Hot tub for ultimate relaxation 🍔 Grill for warm weather cookouts 🚣‍♂️ Paddle boats for lake adventures 🎮 Indoor Entertainment: 🎱 Pool table 🎮 Gaming area 🧖‍♀️ Walk-in sauna 🍽 Kitchen + Gathering: 🧑‍🍳 Fully equipped gourmet kitchen 🥂 Space to cook, eat, and make memories together 🥂 They also offer extra services like private chefs, kayaking, cooking classes, float therapy, winery, tours, massages, and so much more.

  1. Perry, the things you’ve seen and felt will never be understood by others, but your ability to put it all into your music and art brought you to this very point. Sometimes I’d tell you “just keep painting and creating,” and now seeing how much art and music you’ve created out of a hospital, l am proud of your resilience, determination, and strength. I am proud to know you and have the opportunity to say I genuinely love you, and you deserve the entire world. You inspire anyone who meets you daily, and the amount of lives you’ll change will be infinite. We talked about displaying your art in a gallery from the first week we met. We talked about your visions and creations, and all I knew with every conversation is you will beat this, because we got too much magic to create 💖✨. I always keep my promises. This gallery event will be epic🫶 & @shusproduce , thank you for introducing me to your best friend. You are the best friend in the world, with the biggest heart. I wish more people knew how to be a friend like you. Perry always says #BYOBF (be your own best friend) and I couldn’t agree more. But you’re the type of friend anyone would be lucky to have in their corner. And considering you’re my old student- I couldn’t be prouder of the man you’ve become. -This is truly my “why.” 🙏♥️

  1. Ready to take a flight with no passport needed 🍹🌴? We stopped by this woman owned rum bar @therumbarbk for their monthly free rum tasting series featuring @reif_rum where we got some education and background, time to mix and mingle with new people, and the opportunity to craft our own cocktail in this beautiful patio garden space. We then stepped into the main restaurant and tried some items off of their menu( unfortunately most items were sold out when we visited) and some of their signature cocktails! Tuesdays, they host a jazz night and Thursdays are movie nights, where they play some of your favorite classic movies. Seating is limited so we suggest early arrival ! We do wish customer service at the bar was better during our visit, but def would return for another visit ! . . . #reifrum #reif #rum #rumbar #brooklyn #brooklyn #nyc #nycthingstodo #nycfree #rumtasting #rumcocktails #rumdrinks

  2. Essence in Long Island City is a brand new restaurant/lounge that just opened and it’s already giving upscale city vibes. The space is stunning perfect for date night, girls night, birthdays, or anyone looking for a fresh new spot in Queens with a great atmosphere. The food and drinks were truly a 10/10. Everything we tried was flavorful and beautifully done from the calamari and wings to the stir fry and beef Thai rice. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, shoutout to Pollin for making the experience even better. You can tell Essence is focused on quality and experience. Happy hour alone makes this place a must: 4–7PM with 50% off everything, and Thursday through Sunday they stay open until 2AM with a party vibe starting around 11PM. Essence is definitely one of LIC’s newest hidden gems, and I’d love to return and create more content here highly recommend checking them out early. 📍Essence 3621 Steinway St LIC, New York #licfoodie #longislandcityrestaurants #queensnycfood #nycfoodcreator #nycrestaurantreview #restaurantcontentcreator #nycinfluencers #nyceatsguide #happyhournyc #queensnightlife #brandcollaboration #foodcollabs

  1. If you’ve ever stood at the hot pot sauce station pretending you knew what you were doing… this one’s for you 😭🍲 This is my go-to hot pot sauce: creamy, savory, a little spicy, and good with literally everything. Save this so you don’t panic next time 👀🔥 #HotPotSauce #HotPotNight #AsianFoodLovers #HMARTFinds #FoodTokNYC #HomeCooking #SauceStation #AsianEats #FoodReels #NYCFoodie #Hotpot #火锅 #nycfood #hmart #AsianFoodie #saucey #willbyers

  2. The annual People’s Ball - at the night before the MET gala, there is the Ball for people to show their styles on the runway. I’m so happy to walk the runway with dear @wesleysherow and had my dear friend @hrjenma to take video for me. Met so many talented and beautiful people! Definitely a night to remember, until next one. #thepeoplesball #metgala #aboutlastnight✨❤️ #fashionstyles #fashionshow #ball

  1. If you havent checked it out yet I recommend you do. The Black Veg Fest is hosted annually and coming back August 8th,2026 at Lincoln Terrace Park in Brooklyn from 12-7pm. The festival is free to attend and because its a park, I recommend bringing chairs to sit with as there is limited bench seating. As always, bring a reusable cup to store your cold drinks & the good vibes. If you attended the Black Veg Fest, how was your experience? Comment below. #blackvegfest #nyfoodfestivals #nycinfluencer #brooklyn #foodie S/os to the vendors involved from last year that helped make my experience special: Produce: @brooklynsupportedagriculture Jewelry: @gems.by.che Tea: @highfrequenctea Empanadas: @happycheeksontheroad Beverage: @optimumhealthessentials2 Seeds: @samadsgardeninitiative Sea Moss: @loversrockseamoss Juice: @freshfactorjuice Skincare: @asilisboutique Skincare: @bami_products Skincare: @bedstuybodybar Sea Moss Beverage: @drmossjamaica Vegan Food: @ladym_vegelicious News: @theburningspear_bsp Watermelon: @tropical_harvest Ital: @italkitchenbk

  2. The Bushwick Collective event will be held on Saturday on May 30th from 10am-6pm. The event is free to attend rsvp a tix through @thebushwickcollective.This event is ideal for hiphop lovers, art lovers and foodies. The block was sealed off and crowded so I wouldn’t recommend bringing little ones as they can only see to their eye level. Address: 15 Scott Avenue, Brooklyn,NY #graffiti #thebushwickcollectiveblockparty #streetart #streetfestival #springactivities

  3. The Big Band Jubilee/Harlem Stoop session is a free event hosted by @thesoapboxpresents . It will be held on June 19th, 2026. Prepare for the weather as the humidity in June brings a possible chance for rain. Last year I brought both my portable fan and umbrella just in case. If you attended the Harlem Stoop Session how was your experience? Comment below. #harlemstoopsession #nycblockparties #thingstodoinnyc #nyccreator #harlem

  1. Part 2 of what you need to know about the Knicks parade. Now that this cop knows I’m trying to date one of the players, maybe he’ll sneak me in closer…😆 They’re clearing Broadway at 2am and won’t reopen it til 6am. So that means if you’re camped out, you’ll be moved and will have to wait at one of the entry points that is not on Broadway. And of course that was a joke - obviously we will be back celebrating another win next year. I’m gonna give updates the moment I woke up so make sure to follow and check my stories. #knicksnation #knicksparade #knicks

  2. I vibe with the NYPD officer who said “chug it before you get there”. Prohibited items include: Glass or metal water bottles Bats/batons Bicycles or scooters Chairs Coolers Drones Backpacks Pets Strollers Umbrellas Weapons Just posted part 2. Follow and check my stories Thursday morning for updates. #knicksparade #knicksnation #knicks

  3. Get a photo of all the jerseys lit up at city hall today (Wednesday) before the parade! They clear the streets at 2am and reopen at 6am.
