Forty Carrots Bloomingdale's
1000 3rd Ave, 7th Fl
New York, NY 10022
Located on the 7th Floor of Bloomingdale’s, Forty Carrots is known for there Frozen Yogurt which is amazing
. They have two separate parts a dine- in section and a take- out section. I strongly recommend to dine in , they have an amazing brunch and lunch . It is also very inexpensive and has a vast amount of healthy choices, even the frozen yogurt is low fat. But, beware the large frozen yogurt is enough to feed 3
Flavors are Red Raspberry, Original, Mango, and Chocolate, they are known to switch around flavors, and therefore it's always a surprise what the selection is. Amazing place, salads, sandwiches, and frozen yogurt.

Cafe Riviera830 Manhattan Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11222
(718) 383-8450
Located in the heart of Greenpoint , this bakery is my favorite , sorry Lety's and Canelle :embarassed:. It is a mostly Polish speaking bakery but they are very friendly and helpful . There quality is heavenly, best croissants I've had, they have raspberry, chocolate, ham and cheese and turkey and cream cheese filled croissants. My favorites are the large cheesecake slices with strawberry's and almonds on top, the amazing Tiramisu like no other filled with Gran Marnier, and Passion Fruit and Mango Mousse. This is only part of there selection, they have $1 espressos, windowed doors that open to the street, the prices are great, and there quality is top notch :smitten: . The space is small and only has 5 tables, which means it gets crowded often. I love this place, only 15 minutes away by car. The croissants range from $2.00 - $2.50 and the pastries are all $3.00. :rockon:
