Thin at Cafe Sabarsky NYC
 

Hello, sweetie darlings.

I am meeting an old, old friend and dear son at Cafe Sabarsky on Wednesday. It is at the Neu Gallerie on UES.

Have any of you been there? What is a really fabulous dessert to order?

Hi Thin,

I love Cafe Sabarsky. Most recently (last month), I had the Topfentorte (Viennese quark cheesecake) which was lovely.

Thank you. I can ONLY HAVE ONE DESSERT so I wanted to make the right choice.

Two desserts and Thin turns to Fat.

The right choice is critical when it comes to desserts. The wrong choice can ruin a day. Have a wonderful lunch and report back on dessert.

Life is short, be sure to have dessert first! L'Chaim!

Well since you're watching your girlish figure, perhaps the flourless chocolate cake - who needs flour with their chocolate anyway?. Or the apple struedal. It could count as one of your daily requirements of fruit - right? Yup, I think either would be healthy choices with a dollop of real whipped cream rather than some processed calorieless crud.

I had a great dessert there, but honestly don't remember what it was. What I do remember was the best coffee I've ever had in NYC! Not since Vienna have I had such wonderful coffee.

unflowered chocolate and the best cup of joe in NYC???

Where can I get a good deal on a boutique hotel not in Time Square.....................

Enjoy Thin~

mmm cafe sabarsky . . when I was last up there at the end of June it was on a Friday, and they had the Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte - the dark chocolate cake with cherries - available Friday thru Mondays . . . sorry you're going on a Weds.

My husband loves the hazelnut and chocolate cake (klimttorte) and my son adores the sachertorte and the flourless chocolate cake. So I usually get to try at least 2 other treats - and I like the kirschtorte best . . .(but the others are pretty great too . . .)

mmm cafe sabarsky . . . I assume you've been to Wallse?

If they have the Fresh Pea Soup please try it. I swooned over it. I would rather have that soup than any dessert!

Every dessert I've had there was good-just depends on your idea of perfect-chocolate, or nuts, or fruit, etc.

Ask the server. It changes depending on week and the baker's whim. But figure you cannot do badly.

Sabarsky is the only place I go back to every time I go to NYC, being a person who insists (usually) on not repeating experiences when there are great new experiences to be had. One of the most civilized places on this side of the pond.

Hi thinny, give us your report.
love, carine.

Well, it took me ALL DAY to access this site.

Obviously, this site is being brought to you by Walmart or some other dreadful company.

My Gucci, my maid, Esmeralda, could do a better job fixing this site with a pair of plier and a toilet plunger.

But, I will, my sweetie darlings, report back to you on my afternoon at Cafe Sabarsky.

I just hope I don't get a waiter fired. Like last time.

Waiting eagerly for your report......

Well, sweetie darling, I had the Mozarttorte and cafe latte and both were very delicious. That coffee was just marvelous.

Lots uf UES matrons having lunch. One woman had a vintage Kenneth Jay Lane ring that I would have killed for.

It was a beautiful day in NYC this past Wednesday. Beautiful. We took a stroll up to the Delacorte and back.

So many tourists! I felt strange speaking English!

What's the attire?

Oh, the attire is casual. Most women were wearing pant/blouse skirt/blouse combo.

Most men were dressed in khakis and golf shirt or short-sleeve buttondown.

The cafe is NOT over-the-top fancy.

Try to get a booth. The marble-top cafe tables with wrought-iron chairs are not the most comfortable things to sit at.
