Earlier this month, I had a girls’ night at La Pizza & La Pasta inside Eataly in the Flatiron District. We got to indulge in a curated selection of flavors from Northern Italy. The food was plated family-style and delicious. Wine and other drinks were optional. My crew left happy and stuffed.
Pics of the night…
It all started with the salted caramel banana pudding… my love for Shortbread Society.
Shortbread Society is a ghost bakery dedicated to shortbread desserts via the brilliant duo, Chef Scottish Francis, and his wife, Christine. It operates via pop-up locations in Manhattan, Astoria, Jersey City, and Brooklyn. Purchases can also be made online through Goldbelly and in-person at Butterfield Madison in the city.
I first found out about them via Thrillist; they were advertising the salted caramel banana pudding at the time (Yum!!). Since then, I’ve been a big fan and follow them on Insta (@shortbreadsociety). All the shortbreads and puddings are delicious, def. rich, but just pure amazing. If you are looking to satisfy a sweet craving, check them out. Here are the ones that I’ve tried so far.
