The Original Chinatown Ice Cream Factory
It’s so easy to gorge yourself on dim sum in Chinatown, but try to leave a little room for dessert next time you go. I had heard Chinatown Ice Cream Factory is the best place to get dessert in the area and certainly the best place to get ice cream. But more and more I … Continue reading

PSA: Sugarfina
Sometimes I think there’s a place you’ve just got to know about and my Public Service Announcements (PSAs) will give you the full skinny. Sugarfina has arrived in NYC! I have seen this brand profiled on blogs galore but never got to try the LA-based products myself. Now it’s here and I had to check … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading

I also hear there’s a blizzard a-brewin’ so I wanted to do a bunch of cooking in case I find myself stuck in my apartment. I knew one batch of muffins would … Continue reading
Snowdays
Snow cream is a thing. Think of it like froyo but with the fluffier texture of snow. It’s amazing. At Snowdays in the East Village, you get to eat this sweetened snow without having to get it from the dirty New York City streets. I learned about Snowdays via Lucky Magazine editor Eva Chen’s instagram. … Continue reading
OddFellows Ice Cream
Happy 4th of July! This holiday is all about being outside in the heat of summer. Rather than sit in the air conditioning, I like to cool down with some frozen treats. If you’re the same, you should check out my new favorite scoop shop, OddFellows. Their first shop opened a year ago in Williamsburg … Continue reading

Dominique Ansel Bakery – Part II
I try to refrain from blogging about the same place twice, but when I can’t stop thinking about a restaurant you deserve to hear me sing its praises. Dominique Ansel Bakery is my favorite bakery in the City, maybe even my favorite bakery of all the bakeries there ever were. This is huge considering how … Continue reading
