Dessert Shop · Upper East Side · 256 tips and reviews
Jess Leung: There's no doubt as to why these are the original, and best, macarons in the world. Crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside, one is just never enough.
Dessert Shop · Lower East Side · 52 tips and reviews
Jess Leung: Some of the best macarons in NYC with impeccable presentation and generous amounts of filling. My favs are the pistachio, salted caramel, vanilla, jasmine green tea and caramel pecan.

Dessert Shop · East Village · 353 tips and reviews
Jess Leung: Desserts with an Asian twist, the choices are hard to resist. Go for the tapas option and order 3 or more. The Chocolate Green Tea Lava is one of the best, and the Green Tearamisu is creatively tasty.
Ice Cream Parlor · Greenwich Village · 200 tips and reviews
Jess Leung: Very natural-tasting gelato comes in a unique presentation of flower petals. Try the Focaccine--a warm, soft brioche bun filled with gelato of your choice.

Thai Restaurant · Union Square · 196 tips and reviews
Jess Leung: My favorite Thai restaurant for its taste & ambiance, but also for its desserts. Get the TriStar: flourless chocolate cake w/ green tea ice cream, fried banana w/ vanilla ice cream, & creme brulee.
