If you have a sweet tooth, you’re in for a treat:
this month’s issue is all about sugar. You shared
your best dessert photos with us on Instagram
(page 10). Scottish Francis, dubbed the
“Doughnut King” on “MasterChef,” is serving
up his specialty at Sugar & Water (page 35). And
we’ve rounded up three new ice cream spots in
western Queens (page 42).
Grab a coffee at the new Higher Grounds
(page 28), or try a CBD-infused drink at Adriaen
Block (page 38).
Plus, we’re highlighting the softball tournament
Paint the Diamond Pink, which raises money to
end breast cancer (page 48).
