Trying to keep up in the city that never sleeps can often feel like taking two steps forward and one step back. If you find yourself doing the latter, there’s no better place to step back into than The Soda Shop – where old-fashioned dining and décor meet modern tastes. Boasting an authentic soda fountain, this shop serves more than the fizzy stuff. There’s no reason to stop at the malts, milkshakes, egg creams, and cherry lime rickeys. You become a kid in a candy store when you find yourself facing a wall of sweet treats like Smarties, Candy Necklaces, Razzles, Fun Dip Lik-m-Aids, Nik-L-Nips, Doscher’s French Chew Taffy, and Wonka Bars. You can also stop in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner – choosing from classics like the Tuna Melt and the Mac & Cheese, or neighborhood tributes like the Lower East Side Liverwurst or the Stuyvesant High Grilled Cheese. Offering a blend of cosmopolitan comfort, this Tribeca treasure is more than deserving of a visit – and you’re deserving of such a pure delight.

This February, sip on the 16th annual Hot Chocolate Festival at The City Bakery. Each day of the month features a different flavor, both classic and exotic, and each year a brand new flavor is introduced. Last year’s list included beer, Earl Grey tea, lemon, and chili pepper. “The flavor in 2007 was Save the Polar Bear Hot Chocolate, a white chocolate hot chocolate whose proceeds were donated to the Natural Resources Defense Council,” says general manager Sara Weeks Dima. Lemon Licorice was just announced as the luscious flavor for 2008. Whatever your pleasure, have your cocoa the way you like it, with or without the bakery’s handmade marshmallows. If you’re looking for something more substantial, The City Bakery also boasts a full menu of confections like cheese danishes, lemon tarts, and their famous pretzel croissants – as well as salads and entrees. Check up on this year’s calendar in 10011, and treat your taste buds to a cup of dark delight that will warm you from the inside out.
