Bucket List: The Donut Pub
The donut, one of America’s finest goodies, is something I am always ready to nibble at. Coming from the South, where Krispy Kreme was founded, I grew up on donuts. However, as far as fresh, interesting and innovative flavors go, my experience is lacking. While I do think Krispy Kreme is delicious and that I [...]

New Kid on the Block- Chokolat Cafe
We all love Nussbaum bagels and Hungarian Pastry Shop coffee but occasionally we all need a change. Chokolat Café is a quaint bakery/coffee shop on 125th and Broadway that I would like to deem the “new kid on the block”. I have driven past it numerous times over the past two years and during exam [...]

Café Luxembourg
Every now and then we all deserve to do our hair, put on our heels, and enjoy a taste of luxury. There are many places in New York City you where will shunned for wearing sweatpants, and Café Luxembourg was certainly one of them. Looking in the window before going inside, you can already tell [...]

But when I looked up Beard Papa’s and saw the variety of cream puff fillings and toppings, it went straight to the top of my list of [...]

Fika Fridays: Kuro Kuma in Harlem
One of my favorite walks around campus is walking north on Broadway past the Union Theological Seminary and the Manhattan School of Music. Not only does it provide picturesque reminders of local academia, but also views of the 1 train dipping past the horizon as buildings rise and fall like mountains. In the spring, trees [...]

Fika Fridays: Chocolate Pasta (Oh Yeah, It’s Real)
Over Election Day break, my roommate Allison got flown out to Seattle for a job interview. I’m one of those people who really likes rainy days (a bit irrationally so) so when my roommate asked how much it rains in Washington, I don’t think she was expecting so much joy in my voice when I [...]

SMUSH yourself
Peri joins us for more Sweets in the City with a review of SMUSH–an ice cream sandwich emporium in midtown perfect for a Saturday night out on the town. A friend of mine recommended this funky dessert spot to me when I told him about the blog saying that they “imitate deli sandwiches for dessert”. [...]

This past summer I spent over a month in Italy enjoying all the delicacies it had to offer. I savored the fresh sauces, the many different types [...]

Life in the Sweet Lane vs. Life on Organic Avenue
I’ve always told people that dieting/organic foods/yoga are against my food mentality and philosophy. I’ve always wondered how one could possibly reconcile things such as heavy whipping cream and butter to meditation and organic kale. I mean, I looooove to consume spoonfuls of brown sugar and create decadent desserts. How can you expect me to try to be [...]
