Good eats
Chelsea seems to be home to a disproportionate number of treat shops. Among our favorite sweet rewards are the banana ice cream sandwich and chocolate marshmallow squares at Three Tarts (164 Ninth Ave, 212-462-4392) and the snickerdoodle cookies at Billy’s Bakery (184 Ninth Ave, 212-647-9956). Get your blood sugar back on track with the mac and cheese at Petite Abeille (44 W 17th St, 212-727-2989); a portion’s big enough to be shared. If you’re in a hurry, opt for a portable egg-and-cheese turnover from Empanada Joe’s (668 Sixth Ave, 917-338-4780). Little mouths can savor a bite-sized empanada mini, in chicken, vegetable or beef. For a place in the sun, grab a seat outside at Cafeteria (119 Seventh Ave, 212-414-1717) and order a bowl of cheese grits. You’ll be in good company—the upscale diner is always teeming with munchkins.
