A Spoonful of Sofrito: A pinch of advice that will add a lot of flavor to your life.

The Best Desserts in NYC for $3 and Under!

 
Sofrito Lovers,

I don't care how juicy the steak is, how fluffy the rice turned out, or how crunchy the veggies are: Dessert is the best part of any meal!

But, I don't want to go broke paying for a delicious post-dinner confection, and honestly, I shouldn't have to. The geniuses at Seriouseats.com have compiled a nice list of places for you to satiate that sweet tooth, without breaking the bank!

You guys know me, I love a cheap eats list!  Take a look at the article below and then go get your sweets on!  Maybe, I'll see you at one of these hot spots!

Go taste for yourself!  ¡Buen Provecho!

In a city where a single cupcake can set you back five dollars, it's more important than ever to remember a basic point: Dessert doesn't have to be expensive to be good.

Not to knock the work of talented pastry chefs in New York, but for our everyday sugar rush, we're looking for something less glitzy; two or three bucks would be nice. And these days it's amazing what you can get on the cheap. This list below includes some staple cheap eats, but also touches on sweets from high-end bakeries that usually charge much more. Want the fine French pastry for cheaper than a croissant, or an easy snack from a vaunted Daniel Boulud spot? These budget sweets are excellent introductions to the more pricey items at the city's most renowned bakeries.

We don't pretend this list is comprehensive. But we can say that the 15 sweets below—all $3 and under at time of publication—are excellent examples of their forms, each far more satisfying than many other sweets at twice the price.
