Riposo 46 is a great wine bar with fantastic tapas, flatbreads, and desserts! Tonight I had a delicious flourless chocolate cake from Riposo 46. What I really enjoyed about this flourless cake was it’s dark chocolate taste and mousse-like consistency. The cake tasted like a dark chocolate bar, sort of bitter from the cocoa and served with a drizzle of fresh raspberry sauce, whipped cream, a couple blackberries, and a big strawberry. It was very rich, but the raspberry sauce and whipped cream helped to cut the intensity. So if you find yourself in midtown Manhattan, stop into Riposo 46! xoxo Blondie

Maloney and Porcelli is, to say the least, a GREAT steakhouse, and with a great steakhouse always comes great desserts. This restaurant has a special place with me since I met met my husband there….and yes, Blondie was with me at the time:-). I’ve always loved the ambiance M&P has, but while I was recently dining there, I was pleasantly surprised when a creative option for dessert was offered on their menu. A Red Velvet Sundae! It is a dish of vanilla ice cream with chunks of red velvet cake whipped in! Topped with REAL whipped cream, candied pecans, and a slice of Red Velvet cake. I had it devoured in minutes. Too many times steakhouses get stuck with plain, classic dessert choices that aren’t interesting. Bonus points to M&P for their creativity on a classic! Everyone loves vanilla ice cream with their cake, so why not just mix it in and be done with it! Thanks M&P for a delightful and fun sundae. xoxoBrownie
