  • I eat at and review the famous hot chocolate from the ice cream shop, Glace by Noglu on the Upper East Side of New York City. The hot chocolate has proven to be extremely popular resulting in long lines of customers and prices as high as $15 for one of their hot chocolates. I find out if the price is worth it. I also showcase and review the hot chocolate from Bad Habit Ice Cream in the East Village.

    "I savagely bit into the meringue" You animal. I miss City Bakery which used to make it's own massive square marshmallows. I once had to call a friend to come and pick me up because I had a sugar moment and passed out on a snowbank after City Bakery.

      City Bakery was everything. Was a regular. The February hot chocolate month was legendary with a different infused flavor everyday with their own house made marshmallows. So rich they would offer just shot size to those whose constitution didn’t want to risk it.

    • @Jamesnu
      @Jamesnu  3 місяці тому

      Thank you! There are plenty of great options at that price point. If you want to go to a steakhouse I would recommend Keens or Delmonico's, both are very impressive. Delmonico's provides many other excellent dishes other than steak. I would also take a look at 63 Clinton as their tasting menu is of great value.

    Glace is next door to Eli Zabar's, home of the $29 ham and cheese sandwich. I tried the hot chocolate without all those toppings. It's ok. Not even close to being one of the best, imho. Bad Habit is way better. My personal favorites are Burdick and MarieBelle.

      I waited over an hour for Japanese cheesecake in Toronto Ontario Canada.
      Uncle Tetsu was definitely not worth the price. Although Japanese cheesecakes seem much superior to regular cheesecake because they are very light bouncy and fluffy the taste to me was not worth $12 Canadian for a 6 inch round.
