ChikaLicious Dessert Bar: Seating at this pantry-sized “dessert bar” is severely limited, but it’s worth the wait; this place is so sweet, even the names of the chic menu items are enough to make your teeth fall out (try the warm chocolate tart with pink peppercorn ice cream and red wine sauce). Don’t go looking for a heaping bowl of banana split, though; the treats here are prim and proper, most of which can fit in the palm of your hand. For $12 you can get your Oompa Loompa-loving self the three-course prix fixe; just make sure your taste buds are on overdrive because each spoonful could buy your subway fare home. Serious sugar connoisseurs will find blends of exotic delicacies, the likes of which are made before your very eyes. This place is to diabetics what kryptonite is to Superman. |
