Jaques Torres- Master of Chocolate- by Katrina Kitsis

Jacques Torres, master of chocolate, God to sugar addicts, and former pastry chef at Le Cirque has given us a new reason to cheat on our diets this summer. His long awaited Ice Cream Shop just opened yesterday next door to his DUMBO location at 66 Water St. There are twelve flavors including chocolate-banana, a caramel-rum vanilla swirl, strawberry, hazelnut with chocolate chunks, wicked hot chocolate (spiced with ancho and chipotle chiles), and four different sorbets. The shop features yummy homemade waffle cones, ice cream cookie sandwiches, or you can opt to get your scoop served on a belgian waffle with the works! Options abound! So grab a cone and walk it off at The Empire Fulton Ferry State Park across the street. I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday!- Katrina Kitsi
