New Yorkers love food. With all the walking we do, we can indulge in sweet treats now and again, and when I’m exploring the city with my teeen we definitely do! Whether you want ice cream, cake, cookies, tarts or pastries, NYC has some of the best desserts in the world, with flavors and recipes from around the globe.

Here are 24 places I think are worth seeking out if you are visiting NYC with kids; some because they’re classic and represent great New York traditions. Others are here because they reflect the ever-changing city with fresh flavors and innovative spins on desserts we all know.
