No visit to DUMBO would be complete without trying a triple scoop chocolate chip cone from the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory-among the City’s best. The sauces for their sundaes, such as butterscotch and hot fudge, are prepared by the pastry chef at the nearby River Cafe. A couple of other nearby musts are:
- Jacques Torres, 66 Water Street This is the original shop where you can buy all types of delicious chocolate including the thickest richest hot chocolate in town.
- One Girl Cookies, 33 Main Street The place to go for mini cookies, whoopee pies and cupcakes.
- Almondine Bakery 85 Water Street All the baking is done on the premises by owner and chef Herve Poussot ( formerly of Payard and Le Bernadine) croissants, tarts and macaroons are their specialty.
