"This Italian bakery and restaurant in Harlem is selling a special “votercino” in their bakery. As you may or may not have guessed from the suffix of that word, this is a cappuccino with voting latte art on top. It’s not only cute and timely, but it’s also available to anyone who asks." - hannah albertine
"Imagine yourself sitting on the corner of 120th and Lenox Avenue picking at a cheeseboard and drinking a limoncello, sorbet, and tequila cocktail out of an actual lemon. In case that sounds pleasant to you, know that this Italian restaurant has outdoor dining available for brunch and dinner." - hannah albertine

"Nino Settepani of the eponymous Williamsburg-based restaurant and bakery with a location in Harlem has been making panettone for over 30 years and eating them for longer. “My earliest memories of panettone are my father carrying a box home for Christmas, and having it as our dessert centerpiece after dinner, next to the dessert wines and homemade liqueurs,” says the Palermo native. Now daughter Bilena builds on the tradition, bringing new ideas like a chocolate and pomegranate flavor, collaborations with partners like Bottega Veneta, and, a panettone advent calendar. Settepani’s chocolate panettone has a silky tear-apart texture and a sourdough-forward note. For those in Harlem, the panettone french toast at Settepani’s Lenox Avenue restaurant is worth seeking out." - John Tsung
"This family-run Harlem restaurant has the advantage of having owners — who are bakers by trade — with its Brooklyn location being a destination for dolce lovers throughout the city. The secret to its tiramisu, according to chef Nino Settepani, is love and letting the layers settle overnight." - Andrew Cotto
