By now you’ve completely strayed from your New Year’s resolution: You’re back off the wagon, you’re smoking in bars again, and you’ve conveniently lost your gym membership card. So why not kick that final domino over with Amorino’s gelato cakes? They have whipped up some sumptuous flavors like Chocolate Devotion, a decadent blend of 72 percent Araguani chocolate wrapped in layers of black chocolate and stracciatella, or vanilla gelato, then sprinkled with rich chocolate shavings. If you’re nuts for Nutella, then the Amorino Festive, Nutella and stracciatella gelatos spread over a bed of almond dacquoise, is your heavenly fix. But if all of this is too rich for your blood, try their Red Desire, an explosion of strawberry, raspberry and blackberry sherbet bursting with light and fresh fruity flavors. Then there Amorino’s Tutti Frutti, a refreshing combination of strawberry and mango - a surefire cure for those sweet cravings you’ve tried so hard to curb since January. So what are you waiting for? Forget the resolution; there’s always 2010.
