Pilot Report

New York City is a place where one can find anything, and pretty much any time. It is about connections, surely, where someone somewhere is bound to know something that can help you, no matter how odd your requests might be. It’s also a city where the savvy survive. It used to be the strong, and the courageous, and sometimes that’s still true, but more often these days it comes down to a peculiarly learned street smarts.

There’s something very different about this new version of street smarts than previous generations might have known, and that old one is going the way of books on paper. Still, those who miss some of the best of the old, combined with the best of the new, can still find things to enjoy with relish and abandon here. From the amazing hotels that mix old school hospitality and the best of the contemporary, to brownies, there are plenty of adventures here.

In fact, with the Fat Witch , the brownies served here will probably bring about a kind of frenzy of nostalgia in the first bite, as you recall the happiest thing that ever happened to you while you were eating a brownie, and this will soon melt into a kind of heavenly trance where all there is, is chocolate.

It does have reputation as the best brownie in New York in some circles, and it’s well-deserved. What they do for brownies is something very akin to art, and there are touches that can be baroque, classical, and often even cubist, depending on your own personal inner flavor of the day.

Eating in New York is more than a past time for some, visitors and locals alike, and there are those who take it very seriously. That’s good for quality, but it’s also good to keep in mind that these brownies will take away some of the more severe discernment, and replace it with a furious joy for the moment, which is all we have in New York.
