"Dessert nerds already know that the sweets at Gage & Tollner are the real reason to stand outside at 4:30pm if you can’t manage to snag a reservation here. In fact, we’d go so far as to say that you should skip the full meal, get a seat at the bar, and have drinks and dessert. Not only are these the strongest sections of the menu, but the thing is, you simply must order the Baked Alaska, which serves two—allegedly. But you should also get the Chèvre Cheesecake and the Black Forest Sundae. See? Now you’re full. No need for a pricey steak." - carina finn koeppicus, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
