SCRUMPTIOUS SPRING SWEETS
by DANYELLE FREEMAN
We’d never dream of disparaging chocolate, caramel, apples and nuts, but we really begin craving sweets that are, well, a bit lighter on their feet once the weather warms. And happily, restaurants are slowly swapping out intensely rich and dense desserts for sprightly, fruit and herb-based offerings, simply bursting with spring freshness, like the Sweet Pea Ice Cream Bar at Dirt Candy in the East Village and the Rose and Raspberry Vacherin at Café Boulud on the Upper East Side!

Most of us have fond memories of stalking the Good Humor man every spring and summer as children, but we feel just a tad silly running after a jingling truck as a fully-grown adult. Thankfully, North End Grill allows us to indulge in some of our most nostalgic kiddy favorites, by reimagining them as mature, thoughtful desserts. Case in point; Masala Chai Funnel Cake, a Popcorn Ice Cream Sundae and the vibrantly colored Creamsicle Pie; layers of vanilla Bavarian cream, bitter marmalade, orange gelée, candied orange slices and whipped cream, set inside of a buttery graham cracker crust.
