Description:
UNION SQUARE. Set high above Union Square, this location of the national chain pulls in lots of shoppers and sightseers who relish the idea of a sweet pick-me-up or a tasty meal. Although the large menu tempts diners with its incredible variety of foods, dessert fare really breaks down wills. The cheesecake menu alone offers three dozen options, and that doesn't even include such devilish delights as black-out cake, tiramisu and warm apple dumplings. If you're trying to be good, opt for a goblet of fresh strawberries, or convince yourself that carrot cake is a vegetable. Any way you spin it, don't leave without trying one of their specialties. Heated patio dining offers views of Union Square. |
