Jul 13, 2012 • Blah blah blah. Rhianna likes gelato. Blah blah blah. Thick, creamy, and cold is her favourite texture. Blah blah blah. New York offers endless opportunities for such indulgences. Yes, I know you’re probably tired of the frozen creamy treat posts, but get over it. It’s summer. It’s hot everywhere. And if you’re in this city...

Jul 10, 2012 • Cubicle life is not something you can really avoid anymore. Before I was ever a full-time employee, I thought that the world depicted in The Office, Dilbert, and Office Space was hyperbole of the mundane. Not so much. It really is the most peculiar thing to be surrounded by people you cannot see, but of course, can clearly...

Jun 26, 2012 • Today’s Special: Mille crepe cake, Lady M Confections, New York You might have heard about this cake before. It makes many appearances on television, on the Web, and in print as a “best” thing to eat or “must try” in New York, and oh-so-ever rightly so. You cannot dismiss a dessert that’s built on...

Jun 20, 2012 • Yes, another category. We likes to keep it interesting here at Cream and Sugar. I probably should have created this category, Solo in the City, years ago to describe my travel dining. But we have other ways to describe our travel dining. So yeah, a new addition to describe a very underrated mode of...

Jun 19, 2012 • Today’s special: Duck rillettes and egg salad crostini, Colonie, Brooklyn I chose to live in the Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill area of Brooklyn because it was an area that became familiar and dear to my heart after a number of visits to friends who lived in that ‘hood. The brownstones, the trees, the mix of young...

May 30, 2012 • Ahhhhhh… gelato. Let me count the ways I love thee. If you’re one of our Edmonton readers, I hope you partake at my go-to spot, Da Capo. And if you’re from Vancouver, Bella Gelateria should be on your list of places to go. I won’t go on again about how much I love the stuff....

May 29, 2012 • Today’s Special: Spanish mackerel at Num Pang, New York The banh mi is Vietnam’s gift to the sandwich world, but Vietnam is not the only place in that wonderful part of Asia that likes to have fun with two pieces of bread (the French spread themselves around). Cambodia has sandwiches—num pang—made in a similar fashion...

May 28, 2012 • I’m suspicious of anyone says that they don’t like to go out for Italian food because they can make such food at home. I’ve had very very good Italian food at home (see: Sugar), but the best has always been when a professional is doing the cooking (see: La Quercia in Vancouver, Corso 32 in...

May 1, 2012 • A place that specializes in extraordinary soft-serve ice cream concoctions? Sign me up. The magic words were “soft serve.” Although “big gay” is pretty enticing as well. I may have acquired some high brow and expensive tastes over the years, but I’ll never forget where I cam from: a home that was walking distance from...

Apr 25, 2012 • I made it! After walking by the line snaking through Madison Square Park numerous times while vacationing in New York the past few years, I finally stopped and got myself in the queue at the original Shake Shack location. The line is as legendary as the food. I thought I made a smart move by...

Apr 24, 2012 • Today’s Special: Whisky bread, Gwynett St The reservation stars aligned on Saturday. OpenTable presented me with a table for two during prime time at East Williamsburg hot spot Gwynett St. Since opening last fall, the number of positive write ups have been been steadily climbing, with a number of them being published during the last...

Apr 15, 2012 • It seems meatballs are having their moment in the sun. Or should I say in the oven, or on our plates? Much like the fatigued cupcake has proven, you know when New Yorkers start lining up in droves for something, it’s a thing. Big or small. Swedish, Greek, or Italian. Nestled next to a heap...
