Neighborhood Crawl: Emmons Avenue in Sheepshead Bay
Dessert at Dessert Palace: Formerly a summertime-only dessert shop and ice cream parlor, this glitzy, multi-room bar, grill and banquet hall (complete with a working fireplace!) now serves sweets year round. Try creamy scoops of assertively flavored gelato in straccitela, dulce de leche or mango, Eastern European cakes like spartak (chocolate layer) or smetanik (jam and sour cream torte), or choose from a kooky selection of crepes, like “Diabolical Mixed Berries,” “Coco Bebe Shredded Coconut,” or “Insolent Figs Jam.”
