Grom’s Croccantino (August flavor) is out of this world!
I love GROM, it’s no secret. They have the best gelato in this city. That love just deepened the first night of August when their new flavor of the month “Croccantino” hit my tastebuds! Wow, everything I loved about their Baccio (hazelnut and chocolate) gelato only magnified. Venezuelan “Ocumare” chocolate and crunchy hazelnut biscuits (like a brittle almost).

Caffe Bene: escape with a Misugaru drink in Times Square
Dear Food Diary:

Caffe Bene, a korean chain opened its doors and introduced the masses to Misugaru and a Korean drama/soap like decor and ambiance. A little library/living room in the back, a little escape from the hustle and bustle of the city…

Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain: Good o’ld fashioned sundaes
Dear Food Diary:
You can’t help but lit up when you arrive at the Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain in Carroll Gardens. The corner space was an actual “pharmacy” back in the 20s! Everyone is a kid once you step into those door. Old Americana mixed with warm friendly people. Good o’ld fashioned sundaes and egg creams. A reminder of the good o’ld times, simple and sweet…
