"Sometimes, you need to treat yourself (and your niece) to decadent hot chocolate during a daytime holiday trek out to Rockefeller Center, and the only answer is the Upper West Side ice cream shop's hot chocolate truck outpost. Yes, the line is long, yes, it's packed, yes, it's semi-annoying to find amid the maze of the plaza, but it's worth it for those pretty and delightful drinks. And bonus: the rim of torched marshmallow is gelatin-free (aka halal-friendly), which is a nice bonus."
"Somewhat comically sold in regular ($2.50) and large ($3.50) sizes, we each went for a large - roughly the size of an eclair - and managed to stay civilized enough to wait the entire hour-long drive home before digging in. As the sign at the counter reminds you, the cannoli are filled to order, which makes them impossibly fresh and maybe even more delicious."
A seasonal hot chocolate truck at Rockefeller Center serves elaborate drinks with a torched-marshmallow rim that is gelatin-free (halal-friendly). The shortened menu offers s'mores ($11), salted caramel ($12.50), and peppermint ($13.50). The line can be long and the plaza busy, but the drinks are described as visually appealing and satisfying for both adults and toddlers. Madonia Bakery on Arthur Avenue sells freshly filled cannoli in regular ($2.50) and large ($3.50) sizes, with the large comparable to an eclair. The filling is creamy, rightly sweet ricotta studded with chocolate chips and evokes nostalgic flavors.
