...for the week at
Serious Eats New York. Plus, 'Lunch for One' at Tamarind Tribeca and Cha-An. And a few little extras including Valentine's Day gift ideas,
Dorie Greenspan's
super awesome CookieBar pop-up, a visit to
City Bakery's annual hot chocolate festival. Hope everyone is having a good Friday!
Valentine's Day Gifts:
The Best Chocolates and Desserts. That's the Pretzel-Covered Sea-Salted Caramel from
Bespoke Chocolates. Only one word: GLORIOUS.
The City Bakery
Hot Chocolate Festival. I marked my calendar for the 7th - Earl Grey Hot Chocolate! See the rest of the month's offerings
here.
Lunch for One:
Tamarind Tribeca ... the appetizer as part of the $24 lunch prix-fixe, an excellent deal.
First Look: The Return of Dorie Greenspan's
CookieBar 2011. We visited the pop-up cookie shop inside Park Avenue's Mizu Salon in
2010, and came back on the first day she opened this year. The shop was here just for a week, but the good memories will last till 2012! If only there was a way to have these cookies year round...
Sugar Rush: Twinkie Trio at Lulu Cake Boutique. Red velvet (center) is the most popular flavor, but the one all the way at left is my personal favourite. Working our way inside-out: chocolate pudding filling, chocolate cake, dark chocolate shell, chocolate cake crumbs.
Ahh indulgence.
Sugar Rush:
Speculoos and Feuilletine Chocolate Bars at Neuhaus. Speculoos are those crispy, cinnamon cookies from Belgium (remember the ones we had from
Dandoy Biscuits at Borne Confections?) and the feuillentine comes from Brittany.
Lunch for One:
$10 Lunch Special at Cha-An. The unagi bowl is pictured above - all that plus a pot of genmaicha for only $10. Specials change daily.
Sugar Rush:
Lemon Souffle at L'Artusi. Beats out the
olive oil cake with raisin marmelatta as my favourite dessert at L'Artusi.
Sugar Rush:
Boozy Apple Preserves by Anarchy in a Jar. Boozy is no joke�the rum comes though as clear as the apples.
Sugar Rush:
Chipless Wonder Cookies. Chocolate chip cookies minus the chocolate chips ;)
