We visited Momofuku with my son's friend who is a student in New York. We were leaving later in the day for a 600 mile drive and wanted some food that would help relieve the tedium. As we were there on a Sunday, we were able to purchase volcanoes and added some compost cookies to the order. The volcanoes were out of this world - the compost cookies almost as good. My only regret is that I didn't purchase more. I am thankful that I have enough reasons to visit NY frequently in order to try everything else on their menu.

I finally got here today - first of all, thank you SO much for the photographs. I tasted the Bavarian Cream soft serve, and bought a compost cookie, a piece of crack pie, and a piece of a chocolate layer cake that wasn't mentioned. I have to admit, I was remarkably underwhelmed, by all of it. The compost cookie's ingredients sort of cancel each other out, and it ends up just tasting like a chocolate chip cookie. The chocolate cake sounded much better in the describing: layers of chocolate cake combined with a yellow cake batter cream (evidently uncooked yellow cake batter thickened in some fashion), a layer of fudge, and crumbles of dried chocolate and vanilla cake. Somehow, it had no distinctive flavor - each layer was bland and didn't enhance the next. Lastly, sadly, the crack pie. Someone described it as pecan pie without the pecans, and I think they're onto something. Even though it's made with butter and sugar instead of Karo corn syrup, it just tasted like a less cloyingly sweet version of the Thanksgiving treat. Based on all my samplings, I would not return.

I love upstairs at Bouley and Nobu Nextdoor.

Interested in Macao Trading Company....

A friend works in the kitchen at Chanterelle, so always wanted to try. Also been dying to try Bubby's, especially based on the dessert menu!

I'd like to try Bouley!

Bouley is on top of my list!

Landmarc is a solid choice in Tribeca
