Rice to Riches

After work, today, I stopped into my favourite store in the NoLita neighbourhood.  It's called Rice to Riches.  And it sells twenty flavours of rice pudding!  



I often take visitors here to experience the "real" New York: over-priced designer food and fashion in hyped-up settings full of tourists!   This place fits the bill.



Voilà: my dinner.  I mean dessert Mascarpone & Cherries  with fresh whipped cream.


Their flying-saucer containers are famous among the afflicted.  Customers now buy them separately with funky spoon, above.   

To assuage my conscience, I bought take-out for my fellow Ontarian office-mate, Jason B!  It will be on his desk in the morning.  Flavour: Caramel Combustion



Rumour has it that this store was set up by mafioso to launder money.  
They wanted a crazy, over-priced product that no one would buy.  The NY Times wrote about it!
