Sugar Rush: Walnut Brownies at City Girl Cafe
Most regulars at Soho's City Girl Cafe are devoted to a few favorites, like the Peanut Butter Balls, ginger cookies, and the ever-fudgy brownies. My affections fall for the latter, a $3 hunk of a brownie, dense and almost too rich. My only qualms were the lack of walnuts, a must, as far as I'm concerned, when it comes to brownies. Someone from above must have heard my wishes, as I was greeted with a "we just started making walnut brownies today!" from the fellow behind the counter.
It's the same classic brownie, dark, and decadent, only with bright nutty chomps of walnuts to cut through it all. All this to my list of new City Girl Cafe favorites.
