MDP got up at 5 am to get me these cronuts. My birthday is Sunday and he’d thought it would be a nice treat for me to have on my “work” birthday, which is today. It was. What can one say about such a unique pastry? Its crisp doughnut-like exterior is rolled in granulated sugar… Read more

Situated just off Park on 22nd Street, the tiny Tamarind Tea Room is adjacent to the proper Tamarind restaurant you may have heard so much about. Their Indian fare is legendary, and the Tea Room certainly reflects the level of service and quality consistent with the larger restaurant. My Lady Dining Partner (MLDP) and I… Read more
