Sugar Cafe/Pommes Frites - August 16, 2009

What are post call days for if not for taking long naps and eating a disgusting amount of food? Last Sunday, I woke up in my usual post call haze and decided I needed some retail therapy to get over the horrible night. We made our way to the LES for some browsing and stopped at a little dessert cafe we had probably passed a dozen times. It's a place called Sugar Cafe on Allen and Houston. The 100 degree heat and humidity had us craving something cool so we got some gelato (cookies and cream and blood orange - i'll let you guess who ordered what). The pies and cakes looked good but we didn't manage to try them on this visit.


One of my favorite things about New York is the plenitude of restaurants/shops that specialize in only one product. You know what I'm talking about - S'mac, Rice to Riches, Dumpling Man, the PB&J Company; the list is endless. Well, after our ice cream, we stopped by Pommes Frites for some Belgian Fries. Yup, all they have is fries and about 100 sauces to choose from and I love it. It's a good thing we did a lot of walking because nothing we ate on Sunday was very good for us. Oh well!
