S’more places to get
s’mores in western Queens
BY SEAN CURRY
Summer’s coming to a close, so the time
for s’mores is almost over. Sneak in a couple
more s’more-inspired treats before fall
really sets in.
Last week, we shared with you two
places to get s’more desserts in Astoria:
the S’more Pancake at Sanford’s, and
the S’more Blondie Brownie at Queens
Comfort. Th is week, we’re back with two
more delicious options:
RaR Bar: Classic S’more
with a Twist
30-01 35th Ave., Long Island City
718-729-9009
Quiet, unassuming and tucked around
the corner a block off of 31st Street,
I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t
know local wine bar Rèst-âü-Ránt has a
delicious s’more hidden on their menu.
Luckily, there’s still plenty of summer (or
fall, or winter — it’s on the menu yearround!)
left to rectify that.
RaR’s s’more is slightly more than meets
the eye. Where Sanford’s gets savory and
Queens Comfort gets weird, RaR gets
sneaky. Th e chocolate ganache is hiding
some infused Guinness stout in its prep,
and the graham cracker crust has bits of
pretzel mixed in, while the thick, melted
marshmallow blanket enveloping the
whole thing tucks it all away under its
pillowy, torch-fi red crust. It isn’t visually
striking — but dang if it isn’t a sensory
experience to take your breath away.
Chip NYC: S’more Cookie
3006 34th St., Astoria
917-745-0101
New to Astoria’s food scene is cookies
and cappuccino spot Chip NYC, and it’s
already making an impression with cookie
off erings like funfetti, oatmeal apple
pie, and (of course) s’more. While this
late-night treat spot certainly gets creative
with off erings like blueberry cheesecake
and chocolate chip walnut, it’s the
gooey, creamy s’more that we’re here to
rave about.
Chip keeps their s’more simple: beyond
transmogrifying the classic campfi re
snack to cookie form, there’s little else
changed about the holy union of graham,
cocoa and mallow. Th e price point
might sound steep at $3.50, but once you
have one of these monsters in your hands
and realize they’re more akin to a small
cake than a cookie, you’ll call it money
well spent. Chip is still cash only and only
open Th ursday through Sunday, so call
ahead to make sure you’re ready for your
trip to cookie heaven.
