Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
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.…

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…

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…

Maison Keyser is a Parisian bakery that’s gone global. The contents of the case are exactly like what you would expect from a traditional French patisserie. I had to get a tarte because that’s my favorite and while in France I attempted to try every variety my local patisserie had to offer, which meant I…

I hate when it takes me longer than anticipated to cross a restaurant off my list, especially when the restaurant proves to be just as wonderful as I had hoped. The pastries at Dominique Ansel Bakery look too beautiful to eat, but that would be a shame because they are some of the best baked…

La Maison du Macaron has a ton of great flavors and an adorable cafe to boot. After walking past plenty of times, I was finally in a position where I wasn’t already overstuffed from a meal and was on my way home (since they can’t stay un-refrigerated for long). These macarons easily rank within my…

I have shrugged off The Soft Serve Fruit Co. as another Pinkberry-esque fro-yo place for about a year. It kind of is, but there is something that sets it apart: its all fruit. Seriously, the only three ingredients are fruit, water, and a little organic cane syrup. The result is true fruit flavor. I stopped…

Every time I’ve tried to join a book club, no one ends up reading the book and even when they do they never want to talk about it. I’m all for drinking wine and gossiping, but if there was zero interest in reading the book, why not just call it dinner? Thankfully, this group actually…
