Busted


A great Upper Westside place to grab a coffee and dessert is Cafe Lalo on 83rd between B'way and Amsterdam.

It isn't a strange occurrence to have to wait for a table in the cramped quarters, and it is also the place where Meg Ryan waited for her blind date (Tom Hanks) in 'You've Got Mail'. It is really a great place.


So while walking down 83rd with Cooper, Maria spied the secret that has been behind the amazing desserts at Cafe Lalo.

Veniero's. Two delivery guys were bringing boxes and boxes inside.

Veniero's is an amazing Italian bakery located in the East Village on 11th and 1st Avenue, and has been supplying desserts to NYC since the 1800s. Wandering in there very late at night and picking up a cannoli or sfogliatella or other pastry was on everyone's mind when in the vicinity of Veniero's. Always people on line. Love this place.

And now.....
We know the secret behind Cafe Lalo's heavenly confections.
(Italians, of course!)
