24. Best Desserts

High-end late-night dessert bars are all rage in L.A. and New York. We’re not that far yet, but two places reign as favorites each year to hit the chocolate sweet spot with a decadent nightcap. Flames returned to the top in 2008. Who can resist splitting a piece of cake the size of a lunchbox? Post readers said next-best is Marie Callender’s, when a silky slice of pie is the order. There were several other restaurants mentioned to satisfy cravings: Bakers Square, Chili’s, Foster Freeze, Denny’s, newcomer Frozo’s and Cold Stone Creamery.
