Rice to Riches

All desserts beware! This incredibly irresistible treat will make you re-analyze what you thought you've come to know and love as desserts all together. Rice to Riches is the hippest, trendiest place I've found in the city yet. Located in Nolita, just east of Soho on 37 Spring St., this delectable rice pudding shop specializes in a world-changing new dessert phenomenon, giving rice pudding an extreme makeover! With over 20 flavors, ranging from Sex, Drugs, and Rocky Road to Coconut Coma and Promise me Passion Fruit, this shop has scientifically combined optimum hand-picked ingredients from around the world into the most tantalizingly flavorful rice pudding you could imagine. And to top it off, they have 10 topping choices like Tender Loving Jelly, Oatmeal Coconut Crumble, or Toasted Buttery Pound Cake, to name a few, to, how should I say it, put the icing on the cake! And, even though this unique find is only here in NYC, they offer overnight delivery to anywhere in the USA. Just check out their website (www.ricetoriches.com) and click away. But, it's one of those places you almost have to see to believe. The metallic store-front with alluring bright orange and yellow lights, followed by the technologically advanced set up with lit up comic-like bubbles featuring quirky jokes and sayings along the walls makes this place an incredible find that literally jumps out at you. The tables inside lure you to them with florescent lighting and lusciously-cushioned seats and the packaging of the rice pudding is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen, featuring colorful plastic bubble bowls with snap-able lids and matching spoons. So, even if you never thought you'd set your sites on a dessert such as this, you have to try it. It's an experience for every sense and, if you have any sense at all, you don't want to miss it!
