fatwitch, billy's and Ronnybrook Dairy

Today's post will be a dessert galore. I'm not a big fan when it comes to dessert, but as I get older I seem to crave sweets more and more. So for my next blog, it's a combination of three of my favorite dessert place that is in the heart of Chelsea, NY. The first dessert place was found accidentally this past Spring Break with Soy. Her dorm was in Chelsea so it was only a matter of days that we'll end up finding this place. So for my first dessert, it is called the Fatwitch bakery. Fatwitch was is located in the Chelsea market on 9th street. Fatwitch are homemade brownies that range from original chocolate brownies to my favorite walnut brownies. They are a small shop, but they are delicious. In fact, they are so good they ship it to you personally if you order it. Of course you have to pre-order them because they have one or two days in a week where they ship, so if you miss the dead line, you have to wait till the next time they decide on a date.

Before I begin with other desserts, I think it's a good idea I give some background history on the Chelsea market. Originally, Chelsea market used to be a Oreo factory, but as soon as they moved out, what is known as Chelsea market today, has been there since. Unlike California, New York markets are not chains, but independently owned. Many have their own vegetable or meat companies that ship their own into the market. Some have shops like the Chelsea market. Now we know a little more about New York, don't we :) The second is Roonybrook Dairy. Roonybrooke Dairy is family owned, organic milk shop. They sell from nonfat milk to homemade icecream which sadly enough I haven't tried. The shop as well is located in Chelsea Market. Milk is a little costly, but they are considered a luxury so a little bit more isn't too bad, especially the quality of the milk you receive. I'm not a fan of milk, but if someone gives me this milk with my rice, I will eat my rice like cereal, which apparently some people do..

The third is my favorite Billy's. Billy's is your homemade dessert bakery that gives a feeling of being in a traditional American kitchen. They started by a group of business students who had a passion for baking and a couple of sweet tooth. They have pies, cookies, brownies, cakes, muffins, cupcakes and AHH!! SO MUCH GOODNESS!! Billy's isn't inside Chelsea market but it's on the same street and it's hard to miss because of its cutsy exterior design and a line of people waiting to get some of its delicious goodness. I personally fell in love with their red velvet cake. You have to ask for it because they are in the back and not many people know about them.

So if you are in Chelsea and your sweet tooth is aching for some sweets, you know exactly where to go. 9th street.
