We get lots of questions about dessert places near the hotel, usually late at night when people have enjoyed their dinner, taken a little walk around the neighborhood and by the time they are back at the hotel the sweet cravings start. Luckily there are plenty of places within couple of blocks where you can satisfy your sweet tooth.
For example, right across the street you'll find Morton Williams Supermarket that stays open 24 hours a day and features quite nice dessert counter. Also, Dali Market just couple of doors down from the Salisbury has selection of ice creams, gelato and other desserts. Dali Market stays open 24 hrs a day as well, so whatever time you need something sweet, you don't have to walk too far. Below are couple of more our favorites in the area.
1796 Broadway at 58th St.
High quality ingredients and once monthly changing flavors are what keep people craving for gelato from Grom. Their mission is to make gelato the old-fashioned way, without artificial coloring and preservatives and using only first-rate (mostly Italian) ingredients: Italian licorice, almonds from Avola, and lemons from Sicily. Besides gelato, you can also enjoy granita, seasonal fruit sorbets and frappe here.
During summer hours they're open until 11.30pm on weekdays and 12.30am on weekends.
