Butter Lane Cupcakes
Wanting something sweet after a recent meal with my brother & sister, we went to Butter Lane (123 East 7th Street between Avenue A & 1st Ave.) It’s a small space with a few seats indoors & the service area & bakery in the back. It was a warm day so we decided to order […]
Coffee Ice Cream
I finally decided to power up the 1.5 Quart Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker (available at Amazon) that I got a few months ago. Instead of going for Bacon Maple ice cream as I had wanted to, I decided to go for something easy (& yummy) for my first run; Coffee Ice Cream.
Paradiso
After spending a lot of time going to 9th Street Espresso for my daily coffee, I’ve decided that Paradiso (105 Avenue B at 7th Street) is a much better option. Open since Feb. 2009 it’s a small space (formerly Bang-On) with a few seats & tables, but it is generally never crowded & offers free […]
The Iceman Cometh!
Huzzah! I finally got what Santa never brought me for Christmas last year (no, not Zoe Saldana in her birthday suit, the other thing); a Cuisinart 1.5 Quart Ice Cream Maker (available at Amazon)! It arrived this morning (just in time for the great weather), so I haven’t had a chance to give the thing […]
De Robertis Pasticceria
I had a chance to stop by De Robertis Pasticceria (176 1st Avenue @ 11th Street), a neighborhood staple since 1904, to pick up some dessert for a family dinner. I’ve passed by this place, with it’s bright signage, hundreds of times but never gone in. The place has an old school feel & is […]

Doma Cafe & Gallery (Closed)
This is way out of my normal stomping grounds, but I stopped by Doma (17 Perry St @7th Avenue) to meet up with some friends. It bills itself as a ‘Cafe & Gallery’ & although there was art on the walls, I really couldn’t have cared less. The place was pretty packed for a Monday […]
Mini Bar (Closed)
Looking for a cup of Joe & wanting to try somewhere new, I headed to Mini Bar with a friend. There have been quite a few stores in that particular spot, but I had really never noticed Mini Bar. First off, the interior is awesome! Lots of exposed wood, etc. you can tell that they […]
Bacon Caramel Toffee
I recently received a box of Vosges’ Bacon Caramel Toffee as a gift from a foodie friend. Basically I think that any flavor can be enhanced by bacon & desserts/chocolate/toffee is no exception! The toffee & chocolate are both delicious, but it’s the addition of Nueske‘s Applewood Smoked Bacon that puts these tasty little treats […]
