Kinship Coffee Cooperative

Just as we finished lunch at Max’s, Karina stopped by so all four of us decided to take the more scenic route and walk together to the Steinway stop for me to hop on the subway.  Along our stroll, I spotted an adorable coffee shop.  I am a huge sucker for cute coffee shops (I…

Spot Dessert Bar

Albert and I have begun going to The Bao regularly now that we’ve discovered the perfect order, but we tend to fill up and don’t take advantage of the [non-related] cafe located just below it.  Spot Dessert Bar is an all-dessert paradise that serves up sweets with an Asian twist.  You’ve probably seen chocolate lava…
