aS’MOREia
When it comes to a day of chocolate,
marshmallows and graham
crackers, there’s only one place
to start: breakfast. The S’more Pancakes at
Sandford’s on Broadway are more than just
a chocolatey delight; they’re a damn fine
pancake, too. Chocolate glaze and nutella
are spread across a traditional pancake,
while some torched marshmallows sit atop
this mountain of decadent brunchiness,
topped off with graham cracker dust.
This sugarbomb might seem imposing,
but don’t let that stop you from the coup de
grace that brings it all home: authentic Vermont
maple syrup. Pancakes — however indulgent
— simply aren’t complete without it.

Come to Sanford’s for the S’more Pancake,
and come a second time for their other
takes on flapjacks, like banana walnut or
peanut butter. In the words of owner Christ
Karalekas, “Pace yourself.”
SWEET TREATS
Ah, summer in NYC: carpools to the Rockaways, picnics in the parks, and the eternal ice cream
truck rivalry between Mr. Softee and whatever your neighborhood’s Mr. Softee rip-off is.
With August finally upon us, our opportunities to partake in these summer traditions and others
are running out more rapidly than we might like. One may have to make cuts to beloved
pastimes to make room for more feasible ones, and roasting marshmallows around a campfire
is usually first on the cutting block for cityfolk.
But even if you can’t melt chocolate onto a graham cracker over a crackling flame in your
studio apartment, you can still enjoy that most succulent of summer treats right here in western
Queens before Labor Day comes.
That’s right, dear readers: it’s time for an end-of-summer s’mores roundup.
