snacking around town

This Italian Cookie Ice Cream at 5th Avenue Chocolatiere (3rd Avenue, 43rd/44th)
was voted best Midtown East Ice Cream by Midtown Lunch. A must-try.

Yes, Blondie (of Blondie and Brownie, and recently Midtown Lunch) has done it again. She has uncovered hidden gems and tasty treats in NYC, this time of the ice cream variety -- my absolute favorite. As I write this, I am trying not to gaze too deeply at the photos, because before I know it, I will be clicking "publish post" and rashly running right over to 3rd Avenue for one of the Italian ice cream concoctions. I mean, have you ever seen anything so colorful and mmmmmmelty? Let's just say, it strikes a chord with me. And don't get me started on the donut ice cream sandwiches (below). Yes, Blondie, I think you can totally call this sandwich, "Lunch." Totally.

The doughnut sandwich ($4.95)
at Holey Cream, 796 Ninth Avenue (52nd/53rd)

Fresh donuts dipped to order!!!! $1.25 + 50 cents per topping
NOTE: frosting is free. Nice.
