Tisserie's Venezuelan Brownie: Who Knew Venezuelans Make Great Brownies

By Ed Levine Eats   Mar 21, 2008

I have tried many items among the seemingly endless array of baked goods, sandwiches, and pizzas at Tisserie, but it wasn't until I happened upon its 53% Cacao Venezuelan Brownie that I had anything truly delicious and inspired there. It... FULL REVIEW

Tisserie

By Mona's Apple   Feb 19, 2008

Now that I've had my blog for a little over two years, I get more and more e-mail solicitations from PR companies and people wanting me to try their clients' restaurants or products. For the most part, think "special menu" galore from a lot of not-so-special restaurants. Once in a blue moon, I receive a book review request and within a few weeks a beautiful new cookbook appears jammed into my tiny mailbox. I haven't wanted to turn my blog into a book club quite yet, but who knows, maybe this year I will be culinarily inspired to hack away at a few recipes from said books. Morimoto is staring at me from my bookshelf and he's not amused,... FULL REVIEW

Polish, Japanese, cupcakes and more: diet of a champion

By The Girl Who Ate Everything   Feb 13, 2007

Things that spring to mind when I think of Valentine's Day: a) It marks yet another year of my unloved existence. b) Oo, chocolate! c) I totally want Polish food. red...everywhere While the first two points are 0% false, I'm fudging it a bit with the third. FULL REVIEW

Union Square, Tisserie...again & c.c.c.

By The Wandering Eater   Sep 23, 2006

Tisserie's savory food is better than their desserts. Their quiche is very good but some are a bit too salty (e.g. salmon). I think their prices are a bit steep for what it's worth but whatever you do, don't get their chocolate chip cookies! It's pretty bad. FULL REVIEW

Chocolate Eye of the Tiger

By Gothamist   Aug 19, 2006

At first when you walk into Tisserie, the new pastry shop at the northwest corner of Union Square, it seems like another high-end traditional French patisserie. A seemingly endless, gleaming glass case displays rows of impeccably crafted sweets: berry tartlets, macaroons, palmiers. But tucked among the croissants and pains au chocolat are little surprises, pastries made with French technique yet unheard of in Paris. There are tiger eyes (little round spongy cakes spotted through with chocolate and topped with a generous round of dark ganache), chococitron (a similar cake but in a mini-bundt form and soaked in a tangy syrup), and coquitos (filled with coconut). These are hints at the cafe’s Venezuelan origin. The owners, Ronald and Morris Harrar, have based the place on their shop in Caracas. The variety they’ve injected to the art of pastry is just enough to reawaken your sweet tooth. On the savory side, there are lovely sandwiches and quiches (whose flavors are indicated by perfect garnishes). One standout is the cold avocado and lime soup. It’s surprisingly light, like a liquid mousse, if such a thing could be, and it would be worthy of a fancy amuse-bouche at a three-star restaurant (which kind of helps explain its whopping $5.50 price tag).

Max Brenner, Shopsin's, Mamoun's, Galanga

By The Girl Who Ate Everything   Aug 04, 2006

...Wait, wuh? I didn't know much about the Israeli chocolatier (besides that he's bald and makes chocolates) until he opened one of his combination store-and-cafe chocolate-filled wonderlands in NYC. Yesterday Jason and I checked it out. For dinner. It's okay to eat chocolate-based goods as a meal if you're on vacation. And perhaps if you fast for the following few days. FULL REVIEW

Accidental Mexican bakery, Thai and Indian food, and the wheeze continues

By The Girl Who Ate Everything   Jul 26, 2006

During Saturday's mission to roam around aimlessly with Tristan during his short stay in NYC (after taking a vacation in HAWAII...that bastard!), we took the 6 train up to the northern tip of Central Park just for the hell of it. FULL REVIEW

Tisserie

By Dining Desperado   Jul 13, 2006

Tisserie is a bakery I heard about through the grapevine. The bakery world in NY is pretty tight knit. So while I was at Bouchon I heard about 2 brothers from south america who were opening a bakery in Union Square. So of course...it was my patriotic duty to check it out. The scoop: It's pretty big. It has a sleek modern feel. The menus are big flat screen tv's. I would say they want to be in a league with bouchon. Let's see. FULL REVIEW
