Roni Sue’s Fall Into Chocolate Event

Leave a comment

After kicking the shit out of a 20 mile training run, I stopped into this great little spot on the lower east side called Roni Sue’s for a chocolate event, featuring both regular chocolate and matcha white chocolate fountains by Divalicious Chocolate.

The matcha was really interesting. I used to love white chocolate as a kid. Now I like it much less, but when mixed with matcha, it really tones down those flavors and adds a bitter element that makes it a lot more pleasing to my taste buds. I liked it!

The best way to eat it? With one of these sesame cookie wafers that The Diva That Ate New York made for the event.

My wife and I stopped in here for a quick bite of dessert after dinner in the area.

Pretty good cream puffs going on here, but this pasty was filled with a green tea matcha cream that was really nice.

Definitely give them a shot if you haven’t already.

Me, my wife, and my buddy Ben (@stuffbeneats) came in here to beat the insane summer heat with some sesame and green tea flavored soft serve swirl ice cream.

Pretty good, I must say. I think I liked the sesame flavor better, since green tea, to me, is generally a flavorless endeavor (with the exception of cakes that rely on frosting to deliver the sweetness).

Okay. That’s all. Go get some if you want to try something a little bit outside the box in the flavor department.
