Ferrara's has still Got It!
I have to say, as a Manhattanite, it goes without saying that Ferrara's is still the place to go for desert. It shouldn't matter whether you have to travel from Jersey, the Bronx, or uptown; it's worth the trip. Walking over, if you live in the area is the ultimate though; because whenever I have a craving, I can just walk over and quench it with some Almond Gelatto and a cannoli. I recently ate there, about a month ago now, and I have to admit, it had been a while since I ate there (I've been on a strict diet); but although the calendar said it was spring time, we were still having our chilly weather, and I thought, now's the perfect time to put on one extra pound, since I don't have to show my belly with a short sleeved shirt; I can cover it up with my coat.
I'll say this: nothing made me happier than having that Almond Gelatto and the mini cannolis; one chocolate and one regular cannoli and a cream puff. Where else in world, except Italy of course, can you get this. I mean, you can get these things anywhere, but they won't taste as good as Ferrara's.
It's good to know that some things never change in the City. Ferrara's is one of those desert shrines, and it's as good as ever!
