Best Colombian Arepas in New York???

El Cocotero @ 228 W. 18th St; I found it through Yelp and really loved their arepas and sangria—the space is really good for a late afternoon meal with friends

Sweet Ticket Giveaway, Week 2: What's Your Favorite Childhood Dessert Memory?

when I was a little girl in Beijing, I used to beg my parents to order ba si at the end of meals — pieces of yam, sweet potato, or apple are lightly steamed and then we dip them, using our chopsticks, in this amber-colored sugar syrup. As we pull out the pieces, long lingering strands of sugar remain — like silk, si, that we are pulling, ba, hence the name. When you're satisfied with the length of your sugar silk, you dip the ends of the strands in a bowl of clear water and then — my favorite part — you quickly eat the treat while it's hot. I'd always burn the roof of my mouth and it would always be worth it :).

Big Booty Bread Co is overpriced and kinda sucks, in general. Good cookies is about it

Tiramisu. I got some "to go" last night and had it for breakfast. Do I feel guilty? Yes. Will I do it again, first chance I get? Yes.

SPICY TUNA ROLL - I swear I am addicted. I have to have a spicy tuny roll from one particular sushi spo every dayt. I crave it almost as soon as I get up ever day. Sick, huh!

My guilty pleasure is that I can't pass up a piece of cheescake. Any kind! Plain, fancy - as long as it is cheescake...new york style, any style - love it. Thanks for this opportunity!

I am a sweet freak with very little guilt, though every now and again I get sad for no reason. The other day I ate a spoon of Duncan Hines fudge frosting right out of the container. It was all delicious and trans fatty. Does that count?

Sour-Patch Kids, Skittles, and other candies sold at movie theaters in large quantities, primarily to fourth-graders. I avoid making eye-contact as I make the purchase and then run off to the theater.

p.s. my girlfriend is dying for these tickets... please give them to me... please

This is kind of embarassing, but we're supposed to be honest here right? Just to be clear, these are *guilty* pleasures...

1. Butterscotch Krimpets (eat them quickly so no one notices and then lick off any icing stuck to the plastic)
2. Real whipped cream straight...a little dash of vanilla, high peaks, and then into my mouth!
3. Swedish fish (wow...I don't think I've ever told anyone how I feel about swedish fish)

Desserts I would not mind being caught with and would like in front of me this instant:
Sprungli
warm chocolate chip cookies
hot fresh Krispy Kreme glazed donuts
mint chocolate chip ice cream

Unofficially and unanimously is strawberry ice cream, whether breyers/edys/turkey hills (the good kind). I'm supposed to take just one spoon; however, temptation gets the best of me as I often cheat by scooping more than one spoon.
