Where to buy fresh farmer's cheese in Brooklyn/Manhattan?

You can get it at Russ & Daughters on East Houston Street.

A Tour of NYC Italian Ice

I suspect Eroca (who commented above) means Morris Park Avenue in the Bronx -- there isn't a Morris Plains Boulevard in the borough. Maybe you mean Enrico's? There's certainly some fine Italian Ice to be had in the borough, including the ice at DeLillo Pastry Shop on East 187th Street in the Belmont neighborhood (commonly referred to as the Arthur Avenue section of the Bronx). Great stuff.

Best apple for pie?

I like Cortlands, Empires and Mutsus for pie. I usually use a mix of all three.

'Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin'

I've been a long-time fan of Shopsin's and have followed it from location to location. The Shopsin family is incredibly kind to my children, the food is always great, and the place inspires terrific conversations and big laughs every time I go. I was deeply moved by Matt Mahuirn's documentary about the restaurant, and I'm delighted with Kenny's book. I can't wait to try out some of the recipes at home.

Scarpetta's Scott Conant a Veteran on a New Playing Field

I owe you a debt of gratitude for recommending this place. We went there for dinner last night and had an absolutely remarkable meal. They're going to start serving lunch there in a couple of weeks, and I plan to go back asap.

See's Chocolates: Have You See-n the Light?

I'm a lifelong New Yorker who has long loved See's. I had no idea they sold it in NY! I just got back from LA yesterday, and carried four pounds of it back in my bag.
