This weekend arrives pleasantly early. Thanks, Thanksgiving.
CAKES BY LADY M
The secret to a perfect Thanksgiving is the desserts. This year, consider raising the bar with a luscious Pumpkin Mousse Cake or Lady M’s signature 20-layer crepe cake. Your guests will thank you. Your taste buds will thank you more.

LED ZEPPOLE OPENS. ALMOST.
Speaking of desserts, the creamy artichoke slice slingers at Artichoke Pizza are putting finishing touches on their Coney Island-themed dessert bar. When it officially opens next week, expect funnel cakes, fried Oreos, fried calzones, soft-serve ice cream, and yes, amply sugar coated zeppoles.

COCKTAILS AT MA PECHE
Momofuku Midtown continues to tease. This time with stiff cocktails. Stop by the soft-opened restaurant at the Chambers Hotel when you’re in the mood for unwinding with a complex Sesame Old Fashioned, a blend of toasted sesame infused Hennessy and caramelized simple syrup, or a refreshing sake-based 7 Spice Sour. Peruse the menu. Cheers.
