Manhattan’s multicultural desserts
Manhattan is much more than the Empire State Building and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, fun as those are. It’s also home, as it has been for centuries, to a miniature United Nations of immigrants.
If you have a sweet tooth and a curiosity about NYC off the tourist trail, check out the desserts at some of the Chinese, Indian, Puerto Rican, Senegalese and Greek eateries profiled in an article in yesterday’s New York Times. One of the more intriguing recommendations: thiakry, a blend of sour cream, milk and millet served up at Dibiterie Cheik, a West African restaurant in Harlem.
