"Our first stop is Spot Dessert Bar, which specializes in off-the-wall desserts, with names like matcha waterfall and milky puff. Stand at the brightly lit counter and order the baked Alaska cone ($8.45) with either raspberry or mango sorbet, and see the attendant wield a hand-held torch that turns the meringue brown while the sorbet remains frozen. Starting an extended meal with dessert is a good move on crazy St. Mark’s." - Robert Sietsema
