My husband and I lived on the lower east side for years in the 90's and one of our favorite spots was DeRoberti's for chocolate-dipped cannolis, napoleons, and banana cream pie - all of which were near-religious experiences for us. We'd show up there whenever we were craving sugary items which was almost on a daily basis. Of course, we had to get our wedding cake from this place - getting it from anywhere else would have been like committing adultery. We moved to the suburbs and visited a lot less frequently but when we passed by recently we were happy to see that the place hasn't changed and neither has the quality of the inventory. They didn't have a banana cream pie for us (you have to order it ahead of time) so we had to settle for a supply of cannolis and cookies. Oh, by the way, you know that thing I posted earlier about trying to reduce my general sugar intake overall? Fuhgeddaboudit!
