Signage has arrived upstairs at 19-21 St. Mark's Place between Second Avenue and Third Avenue for Mango Mango, a dessert shop with multiple locations that launched in Chinatown in 2013.
Here's more about them via their website:
The aspect of our business is to serve traditional Hong Kong style sweet soup dessert to modern fusion sweets. We use the finest ingredients and a sophisticated method of cooking to create innovative handmade desserts to serve our customers. Most of our desserts are made with mango from the soup base to the pastries and drinks that we cater to our customers. Mangos are liked by all ages because of the sweetness that it brings and provides 100% of vitamin C.
The space adjacent to the Chipotle and above St. Mark's Market was previously home to Beyond Vape, which
Enough enough!
ReplyDeleteGiven its location I believe I will forever read that sign as "Mange Mange" and it will never stop being funny.
ReplyDeleteAt this point I'm pretty sure all these dessert places are opening up just to get a reaction out of Gojira. Welcome to Dessertville, located between BroDeo Drive and Dumpling Square Park.
ReplyDeleteSt Marks is the test lab for what tourists will go for in the EV. Cheap Tees, sunglasses, various versions of sushi and tortured frozen cream and dairy products. Let's see what they make of mango soup.
ReplyDeleteI don't trust yelp much, but when there are slews of bad reviews that's a bad sign.
ReplyDelete"Mange Mange" - ahahaha!
ReplyDeleteEh, ya know, @Giovanni, when something opens up for people older than 22, I don't say a word. There's not a peep out of me when more sushi or Vietnamese comes in, unless it's to slaver in anticipation, but I am just so tired of opening up this blog to read - in what now seems an almost daily ritual - about yet another (doubtlessly) short-lived purveyor of Millennial-attracting sugary pap opening up where a real business used to be. So sue me.
ReplyDelete@Anon. 9:54 - "tortured frozen cream and dairy products" - too funny!
Gojira, you of all people should know by now that this isn't the East Village anymore, it's a real life version of Candyland. So I'll see you over at Gum Drop Mountain, and if you run into King Candy tell him Gramma Nutt is looking for him.
Delete@Gio, aw, can't we meet up by the Gingerbread Plum Tree or the Crooked Old Peanut Brittle House?!? Gumdrops stick to my dentures. (KIDDING!!!)
ReplyDeleteYr right about the EV now being a board (bored?) (boring?) game, I know, but remember what Charles I, King of England said - Dum spiro, spero / While I breathe, I hope. 'Course, that was before Oliver Cromwell caught up to him hiding in the oak tree and had him beheaded, but still. I keep thinking maybe someday the adults will come back. Silly me.
Has anyone else had enough of 90% of new food establishments being Asian food?
ReplyDeleteCan someone open a new diner or something? Get rid of that POS Ray's Pizza and open a diner in there.
First the froyos, now this.
ReplyDeleteI'm only going here if they served this in a hoof!
