Fondue Anyone?

While in New York I visited one of my favorite places to eat with friends. Dip Cafe is a fondue restaurant on Third Ave that offers the perfect mix of casual fun and urban chic. Sitting outside on a warm day you can people watch as walkers pass or move th fun inside where the bar and diverse seating arrangements allow you to relax with your friends. I have often visited Dip with groups of friends and we have never been disappointed.

On this particular trip we enjoyed the Tex Mex cheese Fondue which is a great version of a traditional queso. They bring the fondue pot to your table with fresh veggies, bread, chicken and shrimp to dip into the warm cheese. For dessert we shared the milk chocolate fondue which comes with bananas, strawberries, pineapple, brownie bites, marshmallows, and small Rice Krispie Treats. Be quick and careful when dipping the Rice Krispie Treats as they quickly melt in the chocolate and then you have bits of krispie in your chocolate.

During the week if you arrive before 8pm you can get $5 Cosmos, Apple and Watermelon Martinis. This is the perfect way to start a girls weekend in the city. You must be 21 with ID to enter so this is not an option for younger people or those with children.

 Dip Cafe is located at 416 Third Ave between 29th and 30th Streets.
