If you live in northwestern New Jersey or the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania, and you want a truly fantastic dessert, you need to visit Sugar in on Main Street in Phillipsburg (that would be down by the Free Bridge, not on Route 22).
They have a staggering selection of desserts, staggering both in quantity and quality. You can easily stand there for 15 minutes looking dumbfounded at the dessert case, sure that no matter what you choose, you'll have some regret for not picking something else. Not that what you choose won't be excellent, but there's always that other exquisitely delicious dessert that you had to pass up in order to eat the one you actually chose.
It's a happy quandary.
You may be tempted to buy more than one dessert, but if you do so be aware there's no way in hell you're eating both of them in one sitting; heck eating just one of these rich, excrutiatingly tasty desserts can be a challenge. Fortunately, that's what "to go" boxes are for. They also serve dinner, which Sue and I got to try on Thursday night (we treated ourselves for our anniversary). It's just as good as the desserts -- I had the "butter poached Jail Island Salmon with a Creamy Lemon Fettucinni and Asparagus" and it ... was ... awesome! It was the sort of thing you want to let linger in your mouth for a few minutes, just to absorb all the excellent tastes. It wasn't cheap -- with tip our total bill game to around $90 -- but it was worth every penny.
