Happy Eating!

I forgot to put my review for Stogo.

We went there on Sunday. My friend and I waited to be served and the female server waited on 2 cute, young hipster women in front of us then decided it was time to organize plastic spoons instead of waiting on us (me=fat + middle-aged my friend=Indian ethnicity/dark skin). The male server came over and proceeded to engage in a lengthy discussion about how great their ice cream was with the 2 cute, young hipster women behind us. No one would wait on us. Finally, my friend almost yelled at the woman behind the counter and she did start waiting on us. I tried 2 samples: salted pecan caramel and bananas foster. Both were :blecch: I had already told the kids they were getting vegan ice cream so I got a scoop of coconut milk vanilla and one of mango which cost $5.25!! :eek: It was okay tasting but not great. I would not go back to that place again. :pouty:

I've made a mental note never to visit that place.

Last night, we went to Lula's Sweet Apothecary. It is a small place but adorable. The decor is 1850's chemist with glass jars, antique or faux-antique signage and chrome stools. Everything is vegan and all the ice creams are homemade except for the soft-serve. I got a sundae made with cake batter and vanilla chip ice cream topped with marshmallows, caramel syrup, whipped cream and a cherry. All vegan and delicious! :thumbsup: Mr TVT was quite happy with his chocolate soft-serve cone and my friend was pleased with her hot chocolate made with rice milk. The owner is very child-friendly as well which is always a plus. That Stogo place looked at my kids like they were cat poop.

I'm so jealous:sigh:

Did I mention that those glass jars were filled with vegan candies? And the marshmallow topping was Sweet & Sara marshmallows chopped up?

If you ever want to do a vegan tour of NYC, dreamer, let me know. Thevegantwins will be at your service. :uhuh:
