By Kush Mahan
Dessert: Chocolate Babka
Where: Breads Bakery, 18 East
16th Street between University
Place and Fifth Ave
Why you need to try it: This
delectable treat has a flaky
exterior with a doughy brioche
interior consisting of chocolate
swirled with nutella. What could
be better? In fact, you’d be hard
pressed to find a better babka in
all of New York City…go ahead
and try!
Dessert: Gelato on a Stick
Where: Popbar, 5 Carmine Street (at 6th ave)
Why you need to try it: Popsicles taken to the next level,
these gelato pops are refreshing and decadent at the same
time. With an innumerable amount of flavors and
customizable toppings, there is undoubtedly something for
everyone with these treats.
Dessert: Jumbo Cookie
Where: Levain Bakery, 167 West 74th Street (Amsterdam Ave)
Why you need to try it: First of all, what’s not to like about a
gigantic cookie? We’re talking huge. That, combined with the
decadent flavors such as dark chocolate peanut butter chip and
chocolate chip walnut, and you’ve got the perfect cookie.
They're definitely worth the wait in line!
Dessert: Banana Split
Where: Empire Diner, 210 10th
Ave, at West 22nd St.
Why you need to try it: Cuz it’s
a banana split! But it’s much
more than just your run-of-the-
mill banana split. With
caramelized banana and 3
heaping scoops of ice cream
smothered in walnuts, chocolate
syrup and whipped cream, this
banana split is the best of its
kind. Better yet? The diner is
open 24/7, so get your fix at any
time of day!
Dessert: The General’s Freezer
Where: The General, 199 Bowery at Spring Street
Why you need to try it: For the dessert connoisseur who wants
a taste of everything, this platter offers mini popsicles, coconut
sorbet in cups of chocolate, mini ice cream sandwiches and
cappuccino semifreddos. Definitely something to try with a group
of friends
What: Taiwanese Shaved Ice
Where: TAO Downtown, 92 9th Ave (at West 16th St.)
Why you need to try it: It’s one of those desserts that you’ll
almost wish you never tried, because you’ll be instantly addicted.
Pineapple-lime ice with mochi, roasted soba and fresh fruit, this
flavorful, fresh treat is like a taste of the tropics.
