Apfelstrudel

The Viennese Apple Strudel is a popular pastry in Austria and in many countries in Europe. It’s no surprise you can find it in NY. Where? In two great restaurants: Blaue Gans and Wallsé, both owned by chef Kurt Gutenbrunner. Try Blaue Ganz for lunch and Wallse for dinner. The former offers a delicious $20,00 pre fix lunch menu in Tribeca, where the latter has a charming ambience for dinner in the West Village. In both of them, the Apple Strudel is the way to go.

You’re in Charge of Dessert

Whenever you are in charge of bringing dessert to a friend's dinner and you didn’t order days in advance there is one place that will never let you come up empty handed: Dean & Deluca.
I would give you the same advice when you are responsible for cheese, bread or appetizers because Dean & Deluca has a large variety of gourmet products.
Among the best desserts are: the Gateau Nuage Cheesecake, Chocolate Fudge Cake, Chocolate Mille Crepes, Chocolate Mousse Cake or the American homemade style Blueberry Pie. You can’t go wrong with any of them.
