Treat House, the first-ever crisped rice treats emporium with unique flavors, is opening its first location on the Upper West Side on August 6th.

The concept was started by Chris Russell, the former chef at the legendary Moomba, and his wife Jennifer. This sandwich is even sweeter as ten cents of every treat purchased will be donated to the Food Bank For New York City.

Bluestone Lane, a purveyor of premium coffee culture, has entered the NYC coffee scene with two new locations in Midtown and the Financial District.

The Avo Smash is a healthy, non-traditional sandwich, that serves as a signature dish in Melbourne. Bluestone Lane scoops out an avocado into a bowl, squeezes lemon and lime juice, adds a touch of salt and pepper, and mixes ever so slightly before scooping the mixture onto a piece of Multigrain or Gluten free toast from Balthazar Bakery and seasoned with chilli flakes and olive oil.
