Blueberry Pierogi at Veselka – NYC
08.13.11 | Permalink | 5 Comments

If you’re a fan of Veselka, a fan of pierogi, or maybe a fan of blueberries, you probably know about Veselka’s seasonal blueberry pierogi. It’s basically blueberries rolled in sugar, wrapped in dough, boiled, and served with sour cream. I’m more of a savory pierogi person (cheese or potato-filled — preferably fried — topped with caramelized onions and sour cream), but when it’s hot as hell and you want something light, it fits the bill quite nicely. Although secretly, I do wish they came fried, like mini blueberry pies you can pop in your mouth one at a time. I was told by a waitress in the past, however, they couldn’t fry the blueberry pierogi because the berries would pop in the frying process. Also, I’m sure creating anything bite-size filled with exploding, hot balls of fruit lava and grease is a lawsuit just waiting to happen. MORE »

Birthday Cake Truffles at Momofuku Milk Bar – NYC
05.02.11 | Permalink | 7 Comments

Chocolate Malt used to be my favorite cake truffle flavor at Momofuku Milk Bar, but now I’m in love with the Birthday Cake Truffle ($4 for 3), vanilla cake coated with white chocolate and a “rainbow cake crumble” heavy on the rainbow sprinkles. Rather fortunate since Chocolate Malt is no longer on the menu. MORE »

Doughnuts at Wonder City Coffee & Doughnuts – NYC
04.19.11 | Permalink | 5 Comments

As you may have noticed, I’ve been eating a lot of doughnuts lately. Why so doughnut-crazy you ask? Well, one reason is that all of a sudden, there are a lot of good doughnuts in New York. Case in point, around the corner of my apartment, early in the morning, The Brindle Room magically transforms into Wonder City Coffee & Doughnuts. MORE »

The Doughnut Burger at Korzo Haus – NYC
04.11.11 | Permalink | 13 Comments

If a doughnut and a burger ever got it on, the offspring would probably resemble the Korzo Burger ($11), a beef patty topped with apple smoked organic bacon, allgäuer emmenthaler cheese, housemade mustard, and dill pickles wrapped in langoš dough and deep-fried. MORE »
