Maison Yaki - New York
"The cookies from Maman are some of the best cookies in NYC, and they always come perfectly baked. Oozing delicious chocolate and promising a crisp crunch with every bite, these cookies are not to be missed. While the Lemon White Chocolate Cookie and S’mores Cookie are both impressive, it’s the Nutty Chocolate Chip Cookie which was deemed one of Oprah’s Favourite Things in 2017!"
"Maman is a beautifully rustic, yet classic coffee shop in Brooklyn with only one location in the Greenpoint neighborhood. You’ll feel comfort from the moment you step foot in this Brooklyn coffee shop. The smell of the French and American freshly baked goods fills the entire place not to mention the coffee."
"Stuffed with macadamias, almonds, walnuts, French chocolate and sea salt, this cookie has the ideal ratio of crunchy to craggly, oozing bites."
"The West Village bakery was beloved for its charming and classic interior atmosphere that perfectly complements their amazing collection of baked goods. Their banana pudding, German chocolate cakes, and even their classic chocolate and vanilla cupcakes are to die for. The bakery has been a cornerstone bakeshop not only in New York but around the world, having multiple branches across the globe in countries like Dubai, Doha, and Manila."
"We tried some of the cakes and didn’t love them, but the Banana Bread Pudding from Magnolia Bakery is something else. It’s so good, and with so many locations throughout the city, it’s easy to pick up to take home or back to your hotel making is one of the best dessert places in Manhattan. They serve them in convenient cups too so it’s easy to eat wherever you are and we can’t resist dropping in if they’re open."
"Magnolia Bakery’s cupcakes may have become famous from a cameo in Sex and the City, but locals know to go for the banana pudding. It’s packed with banana slices, lush vanilla pudding, and slightly softened vanilla wafers, and banana flavor is strong in every bite. Banana pudding makes a nice addition to any Thanksgiving feast!"
"Soft serve ice cream is funneled into paper cups, making for a mini sundae|© Made Nice. Of all the places to find a soft-serve sundae, you wouldn’t expect it to be at a counter-service establishment known for salads and sandwiches. But here you’ll find chubby rounds of soft serve spiraled into paper cups."
"It is directly under the Highline so you can enjoy stunning views of the city after visiting. Location: 88 10th Avenue at W15th Street New York, NY 10011. Days/Times: Friday-Sunday, 11am to 7pm."
"Nothing says “Spring” quite like a hybrid food-and-flea-market right on the waterfront. If you get thirsty while shopping for knick-knacks, head to the beer garden to get some locally brewed beer while a DJ spins some sick tunes. Sat - Sun 10 am - 6 pm / 5-25 46th Av."
"Many visitors to New York never leave Manhattan and if they do it’s to go to Brooklyn. In doing so they miss what might just be the most interesting borough of them all – Queens. Don’t make their mistake."
"When the weather warms up, Eataly transforms its rooftop beer restaurant into a scene from the Italian seaside. The emporium’s summer pop-up restaurant, Sabbia, which means “sand,” sports striped cabanas and a retractable roof. The menu represents the coastal cuisine of Italy, including the Riviera Romagnola’s piadinas (pressed flatbread sandwiches), Southern Italy’s bombette (cheese-stuffed pork bombs) and Liguria’s fritto misto (mixed, fried seafood), as well as swordfish Sicilian style, and drinks like the Pesca Fresca (peach puree, rosemary, lemon and sparkling water)."
"Who would have thought that dining in an Alpine chalet would be on our ItalyNew York City bucket list?. Eataly’s newest outdoor venture, Baita, is an alpine-inspired restaurant experience just underneath the Flatiron building with dishes typical of the Italian Alps, hot cocktails and creamy Raclette. Where: 200 5th Ave, New York, NY 10010Outdoor Dining Feature: Alpine Chalets"

"With inventions like the cronut, the avocado toast ice cream sandwich, and the DKA pastry, it would be an understatement to say that the French chef has disrupted the baking industry. His SoHo outpost has long attracted an onslaught of loyal downtowners and curious tourists, long lines, and media attention for its groundbreaking cakes and pastries, and the bakery’s chocolate chip cookie shots have done no different. Cookie shots are available daily at Dominique Ansel Bakery on Spring Street."
"We’ve tried their Cronut (one of the most popular NYC dessert trends), DKA, and cookies shots, but weren’t impressed with any of them. All their desserts were more gimmicky than tasty, but they did create the original Cronut which makes food history. I wouldn’t go out of the way to visit, but if you’re in Soho, drop in and let us know what you think of all the creations by the pastry chef here."
"The cronut from the Dominique Ansel Bakery in Soho is without question at the top of our list for the best dessert in NYC!. With a two-cronut-per-customer limit, you can only help but wonder why this pastry is so sought after. Delicate layers of this croissants and doughnut hybrid is truly delectable."
