Not that it even compares, but in Jersey City we have a combo Pizzeria/Video Store and I tried it the other day- not bad.

Thanks. I work on the upper west side so anywhere in between works too. I'm going to look for your times piece.

homemade strawberry ice cream

so delicious...so fattening!

call me old school but the best nyc dessert is an ice cream cone from mr. softee

Thanks guys
Actually I experimented yesterday and the sprinkles I bought bled so much the cupcakes kind of turned purple... Maybe I just used sprinkles that bleed color ridiculously quickly and the box mix sprinkles don't or something. So I used some blue food coloring and make them purple and blue swirl curcakes. Pretty cool for a test-batch, even if it's not funfetti.

I am going to bite the bullet and make box-cake cupcakes and decorate them awesomely. I may even do the cupcakes in layers of swirl and funfetti to make them ultrafun. Thanks everyone for your input!

I don't think they picked Aaron JUST because of his race. But, it wouldn't be surprising if that did play a part in the decision making.

Yes, the food network has been pretty damn white until this year and yes, it's good that they're diversifying (it's a shame it took them this long),

But in terms of winning this show, it was still a huge shock to me that Aaron got it. And it's a shame that the other two contestants are losing out on this opportunity either way. Honestly, I think food network could get away with giving all three of them shows. Too bad though

Definitely try Paisanos in Rutherford on Park Ave. I haven't been there in a few years, but as far as I remember their food was great.

I did a Google search and apparently they're BYOB- ( again, it's been a while since I've been there so you may want to call and check the details)
