Summer Treat Roundup
One of the best aspects having a 9 year old (and specifically mine) is an excuse and a partner to try every funky fun tasty odd bizarre food innovation NYC has to offer. She's an adventerous eater, loves NYC as much as I do, and will try anything at least once. However, sweets and desserts hold a special place in both our hearts. Creamy, chocolatey, salty, fruity, sticky, internationally famous (but new to NYC!!), tart, crunchy ...

SIDENOTE: Remember (if you can) when the first time you or someone you know took a picture of food. I thought it was SO weird. Fast forward to today, where I take pictures of EVERYTHING!

Branching out, we enjoyed the Pride Shake from Shake Shack:
The oversized pretzels at Little Island (not technically a dessert, but worth a mention!).

What's next? Glad you asked. Van Leeuwen's Kraft Macaroni and Cheese ice cream, currently sold out. When the ice cream fairies restock it, we have a plan. Review forthcoming!
