Yesterday, I attended a lovely party in Brooklyn with my girlfriends where we swapped clothes and looked at the jewelry line Stella&Dot. To my excitement, my friend Brittany of Brittlinco.com had picked up some cookies from One Girl Cookies. I was happy to try every one and what made it even better was that they were all bite-sized so I could without getting a stomach ache! They were so cute and delicious! My favorite of the bunch was the Penelope. A buttery cookie covered in chopped nuts with an apricot preserve filling. It was like tasting the freshest shortbread cookie you’ve ever had! The buttery cookie melted in my mouth with a sugary crunchiness as I finished it off. This was definitely a surprise since I don’t usually go for this kind of cookie. The next best sweet was Read More »

OK, so we’ve already reviewed Jacques Torres, but I must give a shout out to their PEANUT BUTTER HOT CHOCOLATE! It’s still quite cold so this is the perfect way to warm your insides. Here’s the deal: they take a cup, smother the edges with Read More »

Being an Upper West Sider, I’m always excited about new places in the area. I went to Jacques Torres Chocolate tonight with hopes of having one of their delicious ice cream cookie sandwiches. To my dismay, they informed me that this specialty is only in the summer. Of course, I still had to try one of their famous hot chocolates and chocolate chip cookies. I had a classic Read More »

After a fantastic French dinner in Brooklyn with friends, my goal was to finish the night with a sweet! We had tried to get in to this little Italian place called Al Di La for dinner, but the wait was too long. They do in fact have a wine bar around the corner that serves the same menu, and after glancing at someone’s dessert in the restaurant, I excitedly suggested Read More »
