Rice to Riches: A Review

July 26, 2014 by anc49

Photo via Like any good Cuban, I love rice pudding (or arroz con leche). Nothing had ever matched (or come close to) my grandma’s arroz con leche—until I tried Rice to Riches. It’s this quirky little shop in Nolita that literally only serves rice pudding (aside from beverages, obviously) and is decorated with bright, clever, politically incorrect signs that leave you no option but to laugh. It’s always busy and there are a bajillion rice pudding flavors and toppings. Or, […]

Sarabeth’s: (Another) Review

June 15, 2014 by anc49

Yup—I’m back at my favorite brunch spot in Manhattan: Sarabeth’s. What’s that old phrase? All roads lead to… Sarabeth’s? Probably not, but it should be. Anyway, my friend and I met up at Sarabeth’s for brunch yesterday because she had never been and I’ll gladly convert anyone to that magical place.

Paolo’s: A Review

June 8, 2014 by anc49

When my mom came in May to move me out of school (yes, this post is very late), she told me to pick a place for brunch with my roommate. We had already gone to Farmers Fishers Bakers and Kafè Leopold, so I wanted to try something different. I had never been to Paolo’s for brunch (only for a birthday dinner), so I recommended it and was so excited to see what all of the Instagram hype was about. Name: Paolo’s […]

Farmers Fishers Bakers: A Review

January 7, 2014 by anc49

Behold, Farmers Fishers Bakers: one of my Georgetown obsessions. Right on the waterfront, it’s one of Georgetown’s gems (Kafè Leopold being another major one) and local favorites. They serve lunch/dinner, dessert, and brunch – which is my absolute favorite there. I first went last spring and experienced the Farmers Fishers Bakers brunch extravaganza: yogurt parfaits, salsa and guacamole, french toast, candied popcorn, salads galore, etc. It’s on a running to-do list of mine to go again and brunch at FFB. All of […]
