My favorite thing to do is go into NYC and try all of the instagram famous desserts. My best friend and I share a food instagram (shout out @welive4food) and definitely get excited when we find out about a new place to try. Here is a list of some of the best places we have been to:

1. Black Tap Meatpacking

Black Tap is created for the Instagram world. While they definitely have juicy burgers, you’re definitely going to want to try out their “crazy shakes” and make sure to take a picture!

2. Max Brenner

Max Brenner is chocolate heaven. Chocolate is incorporated into every meal, whether you’re getting fries with cocoa powder dusted on top or going straight for the chocolate syringe, there’s no way a chocolate lover will be disappointed.

3. Baked by Melissa

Baked by Melissa is known for their bite sized cupcakes that come in an array of flavors. They have a new flavor every month but don’t forget about the classics like rainbow!

4. Jars By Dani

These handmade cakes in a mason jar are sure to make any dessert lover happy, between the layers of mousse, cake, sprinkles, and brownie there’s bound to be something for everyone.

5. Sugar Factory

Known for their gigantic goblet drinks, Sugar Factory has attracted many celebrities to come try their restaurant. If the drink menu wasn’t sweet enough, be sure to check out the candy shop in the front of the restaurant for a sweeter experience.

6. Magnolia Bakery

Magnolia is a classic bakery with a beautiful cupcake display. Many people love the banana pudding but I always go for the cupcakes with the light pink frosting.

7. Sugarfina

This candy boutique has the classiest candy around. Packaged in lucite boxes, Sugarfina is most known for their champagne gummy bears.

8. Momofuku Milk Bar

Momofuku is known for the birthday cake truffles, cereal milk ice cream and their crack pie. The bakery even paired up with model Karlie Kloss to sell her Kookies!

9. Big Gay Ice Cream Shop

Big Gay Ice Cream started as an ice cream truck with sarcastic flavors and finally opened as a shop 2 years after their seasonal truck opened. They’re known for their flavor “the salty pimp”

10. Dominique Ansel Bakery

Dominique Ansel was ranked as the number one pastry chef in the world. He’s known for the cronut, cookie shot, frozen s’more and blossoming hot chocolate!
