okay here's one

Horchata. A dairy-free almond milk (or rice milk) drink
with cinnamon and sugar. What's not to like?

Phew, I knew the Treats 'n Eats column would spark some good ideas. I am in the mood for a new discovery anyway. So I was just thinking, with how popular horchata has become in NYC these days, why isn't there a (an?) horchata-flavored gelato, ice cream, ice pop or Italian Ice?

Or is there? And where?

Horchata, as you may already know, is a delicious beverage made from sweetened rice milk, almonds and cinnamon (Mexican recipe), or sesame seeds, milk, sugar and water (Puerto Rican recipe), or a few other variations, depending on what Latin American establishment you are patronizing. One of my favorite horchatas is from a Venezuelan place in the East Village, called Caracas. Their horchata is very thick and creamy, and a bit of an indulgence. Another one of my favorite horchatas made by the Red Hook food vendors (Mexican) at the Brooklyn Flea.

But back to the search at hand: horchata-flavored gelato or other frozen treat. So I think I may have found a tasty variation. There's an Iced Espresso Horchata that looks worth trying at Crop to Cup in Brooklyn Heights. And there's also a Frozen Horchata at Shopsins. I will take a field trip (with camera) and let you know.

boom boom doesn't come for free?

[pageprint from standardhotels.com]

A little Boom Boom doesn't come with the room anymore at The Standard hotel in NYC. Hotel guests used to get it until 9pm; but as of July 13, they won't be getting any Boom Boom at all. What? The only ones who will be getting any Boom Boom will be those who will pay dearly to be a member of this elitist club when it reopens later this year. What? No Boom Boom? At all?

Well, sorry folks, that's what we read on Hotel Chatter. I don't think people are too happy about it either, judging from this comment [excerpt]:

I stay in 'trendy' hotels so I can party in them too. If I want to be on the outside of a cool hotel party lounge, I can stay at home and watch celebs on the 'red carpet' at home for free.

Take that The Standard. Or don't. You probably won't, will you. Nope, we didn't think so.

summer melody by thingssheloves featuring Marc Jacobs sunglasses

Dollhouse on Polyvore! We love your Venice backdrop for our Flora Sandals. Excellent idea. Pair 'em with a pair of cut-offs and hop on a plane to Italy.

bastille day, brooklyn-style

Grab your boules and head over to play some pétanque

Today is Bastille Day! If you missed last Sunday's Alliance Française block party in Manhattan, you can still celebrate with all your favorite Francophiles en plein air* in Brooklyn. According to Flavorpill there's a party on Smith Street in Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens this Sunday, July 18 starting at 11am-10pm at Bar Tabac! "Bar Tabac’s annual Bastille Day celebration will feature live music, a pétanque tournament" and lots of Frenchie food and drink. Sounds delicious. Hint: if you want to practice your pétanque skills before Sunday, head on over to Bryant Park today where they give free lessons. It's totally fun.

Q: So whatcha gonna wear to the Bastille Day party?
Le Bleu >
Le Blanc >
Le Rouge >

A: Oui oui, all three!

Are we kidding? No we wouldn't kid about such an important topic. Here at Dollhouse, we take our Treats and Eats very seriously. Browsing one of our favorite food sites, Midtown Lunch, we spied this crazy creation. Dessert Nachos. And apparently they are available this afternoon from the Treats Truck which is parked on _______. Well, check their Twitter @TheTreatsTruck for the exact location just to be sure. And hurry, because Dessert Nachos will only be available today (Wednesday) through Friday. Please let the rain not cancel the fun.

haute & bothered, season 2!

Here it is! Watch Season 2 Episode 1. Love it!!!

If you love behind-the-scenes glimpses into the over-the-top, snobby, back-stabbing world of fashion design, then you must watch Season 2 of Haute & Bothered. It's a special Web series created by Teen.com TV. You'll eat up each episode like a pint of overpriced designer ice cream served up in SoHo. Is the world of fashion really like what is depicted in the videos? Um yes. Well kind of. There are certainly plenty of divas.

ooh la la red skinnies

Paris, paris... by •●Scheeva●•sorry, busy●• featuring Jimmy Choo shoes

Dollhouse on Polyvore! We love to find our designs on your Polyvore collages. Thanks so much. Yes, we agree, the red skinnies with a Parisian twist is an excellent idea. Grab a pair here, and accesorize with a black and white stripe tee. Oh, and these shoes. Totally.

classic nyc

How can you go wrong with a Black-and-White? You can't.

We found this picture on Twitter, and had to re-blog. A black-and-white cookie and an iced coffee is classic NYC. It's @taylorrific's favorite NY breakfast. Never had it for breakfast before, but now we're going to have to start. I think there's a Hot & Crusty just a few blocks from here at Grand Central!!! (Be right back.)
