The East Village’s Prohibition Bakery is small, so don’t expect to hang out, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth the trip. Try classics like the ‘Bee’s Knees’ mulled wine, the Old Fashioned, and the White Russian. If you’re not really feeling the alcohol, you can always go the virgin route with the ‘L’Italiano’ or ‘For the Love of Bacon.’

Ayza

Bar, European, $$$
Map View
Anything with chocolate can and should be considered dessert, which is why the chocolate martinis at Ayza Wine and Chocolate Bar are highly recommended for a post-dinner treat. Choose from a list of seven classic martinis, including a raspberry chocolate martini with Chambord, Kahlua, and 80% dark chocolate truffle; every martini comes with a truffle by Jacques Torres. If you’re hungry, try the ‘Cognac Ooh La La’ — a cognac reduction in caramel, covered in chocolate.

La Grenouille is a French restaurant with an impressive menu. It’s definitely a splurge, but it’s also definitely worth it. The restaurant is quaint and atmospheric with intimate, candle-lit tables. For your fix of boozy dessert, try the Crêpes Flambées au Grand Marnier or the soufflé, either rum marrons or aux calvados.

Burger & Barrelis known for its award-winning Bash Burger and its wine list. Located in SoHo, this urban pub has a great food and drink menu, and the dessert menu is even better. Opt for a spiked milkshake or try the Mississippi mud pie: a brownie with chocolate Crémeux and Grand Marnier Chantilly.

The Bedford

Gastropub, Restaurant, Pub Grub, American, $$$
Map View
This easy-to-miss corner dining spot on Bedford Avenue is a must-try. In the warmer months, you can sit outside and enjoy the weather, but The Bedford‘s real attraction is its food. The brunch menu is arguably the best option. The portions are reasonably sized, so there will be more than enough room for you to try the Mint Julep crème brûlée.
