Now back to desserts:

We mentioned Dessert Goal‘s event last year, because who can resist an event with Instagram pictures like these:

It’s now their fourth fest in NYC! This one has exclusive desserts as well as “a savory Salt Bar to ‘cleanse your palette'” and you’ll also get “access to an outdoor deck on the water with panoramic views of Manhattan”.

We have that too – so if you bring back some desserts, you can enjoy them on the Plaza!
