Gourmet Expectations : take everything on its' taste...
225 Avenue B Fl 2 (btwn 13th & 14th St), New York, NY
Cocktail Bar · Alphabet City · 180 tips and reviews
Jenn Zhang: A lovely night out should be really quite simple. No secret passwords, no hidden doors, just really complex drinks and freinds Mai Tai is absolutely delicious.
Food Truck · Garment District · 316 tips and reviews
Jenn Zhang: Only the 'Mother truck' makes the penultimate wafel: The De Bacon; my fav: De-Bacon with bacon baked in, strawberries, banana, whipped cream, Nutella and Speculoos spread on the side.
Jenn Zhang: when in season, Rose Lychee is just the bomb-diggity-licious. doesn't hurt that its cute little pink-shell is spiked with edible yellow stars
864 Madison Ave (btwn E 70th & E 71st St), New York, NY
Dessert Shop · Upper East Side · 256 tips and reviews
Jenn Zhang: the Original inventors of the 'double-decker' style macarons; they're flown in from the shoppe in Paris. can't go wrong here, except on your wallet...
238 Madison Ave (btwn E 37th & E 38th St), New York, NY
Italian Restaurant · Garment District · 112 tips and reviews
EchoDA: This tiny and extremely authentic place offers a wide range of sandwiches and salads at reasonable prices! Plus, the old italian newspapers on the walls offer a pretty interesting read :)
