It is located at  2 Rivington St, New York, NY 10002.  The ice cream parlor was very interesting.  The place has interesting flavors that is not normal.  The Dorian banana ice cream was very different then old and ordinary ice cream.  The ice cream tasted very vulgar in like a onion taste then it has a little sweet taste of sweetness to it.  The pricing of the ice cream is not to expensive and the parlor is clean and looks like its a old style ice cream shop.  I overall like the place and I would go back if i have time.

Di Palo’s

I decided to write my post on Lou because I admired his stories and enthusiasm about his fifth generation ownership of Di Palo. I learned a lot from what he told the class about how his business came about. Also, it is great to hear about family helping one another. It’s rare to see family help each other without getting greedy, especially in my experience. Culinary tourism is expanding diversely and it will continue to grow as fast it can soar. Di Palo’s mission is great and their products are authentic and cheeses are made in-house.

He will have his own book coming this fall too about his family’s storied establishment and a guide to the most beloved elements in his cuisine.

Fette Sau’s is a popular BBQ joint located in Williamsburg Brooklyn at 354 Metropolitan Ave. They are open 7 days a week. On Monday- Thursday from 5pm-11pm and Friday to Sunday from 12pm-11pm.  They are known and popular for their dry-rub style of BBQ, beers and bourbon. They have a very rustic cafeteria style setting and dining area and serve their food in metal cafeteria trays. The Ambiance of the place is very relaxing with music playing, dim lighting and the smell of BBQ all in the air. The bar is stacked with a variety of bourbon and planety of beers on tap. The cafeteria like tables all have different types of BBQ sauces on them as well as a roll of paper towels. When we got there it just opened up for the day and there were already customers waiting outside waiting for the doors top open.  We ordered the Brisket, the pulled pork that came with little slider buns and baked beans. The baked beans we very delicious with both a sweet and spicy kick. That was by far my favorite thing that i had.

Baked beans, brisket, pulled pork

Mast  Brothers chocolate  factory is located  at  111 N 3rd St, Brooklyn, NY 11211. It was  found in  2007 by  Micheal and Rick Mast.  The Mast  Brothers is  a  New York  Based  establishment  with  two other  locations  in  Los Angles and  London. Their products are “chocolate bars, beverage,confections with  an  emphasis on  clarity  of  favor.” They  get  their  coco beans  from  Madagascar,Papua New Guinea, Dominican Republic and  Venezuela. The coco beans  is roasted  differently from each of the  located produce from ,  which  they  roast about to 2  bags a day.  Chocolate is  made  from  the coco beans and organic cane sugar. They  offers 30 minutes  tours everyday  between hour 11 am to  5 pm. This  where  the  they  explain  the  chocolate making  process.

I personally don’t like the sample of the chocolate tasted  because it was bit too much with  bitterness ,smell,  and taste for me. The  goat milk chocolate  smelled  was  to fresh  with  from  the  animal itself. The olive chocolate  was  smooth in mouth  but  was  also  bitter.

It is located at 160 Berry St, Brooklyn, NY 11249.  It is a really fancy coffee shop that provides good coffee.  I tried the New Orleans that is very flavorful.  It had some sugar already in the brew and was very balanced.  Its a cold drink.  It is was very smooth in taste.  I really like this coffee shop and if i stop by i would rather go here than starbucks.

It looks to me as a very cozy restaurant from the outside.  It serves Slovakian style of food.  I would want to go try it myself and learn more about their culture.  The prices are reasonable for a $30 for entree and a drink or little more.  The golash that is a stew that has different types of meats sounds very good.  The potato spaetzle with sheep cheese and bacon, bread dumplings with cream sauce is also good according to online reviews.

I was amazed by the variety of products displayed at Eastely.  I just kept imagining the food I could cook with all this fresh food, then the prices brought me down to reality.
