Celebrate Valentine's Day at The Sugar Factory Times Square

This was my first time having dinner at Sugar Factory Times Square and it did not disappoint! Located at 694 8th Avenue, Sugar Factory just launched their Valentine's Day menu, filled with creative signature cocktails and seasonal delights. Whether you are planning a Galentine's Day get together or a dinner date, you'll enjoy the Valentine's decor and ambiance for a fun night out. 

Since I love bubbly drinks, Love Bubbles was the perfect cocktail for me - a mix of Tasha Rose and coconut rum, with vibrant notes of fresh strawberries and pina colada, topped with a pink cotton candy cloud. In addition to cocktails, Sugar Factory has decadent shakes and hot chocolate to share. 

The menu has a great combination of sweet and savory dishes, and the generous portions make them easily shareable. The presentation of the food is so cute, instagrammable and on point for Valentine's Day, with food appearing in pink or red. I loved the Romantic Waffle, with red velvet Belgian Waffle baked with white chocolate chips, topped with strawberry ice cream, with pieces of red velvet cake, drizzled with cream cheese glazed.

If you love sweet dishes, then I'd recommend the Hot Honey and Pepperoni Flatbread with mozzarella and fresh basil. If you have a craving for fried food, then I recommend getting the Be Mine Valentine's Sampler, with cajun dusted tenders, mozarella sticks, sweetheart mac pops, and onion rings. The mozarella sticks and the onion rings were my favorite from the sampler platter.  

I'm a dessert lover, so I couldn't leave without getting the Heart Tower of Sweets, including dark chocolate covered strawberries, cookies, brownie bites, chocolate covered pretzel sticks and chocolate candies. 

If you've never eaten at Sugar Factory, this is the best time to go and experience this special menu, available through Valentine's Day.

Devotion Vodka and Exhibitionism - The Rolling Stones

On Friday, January 6th, I attended a Devotion Vodka tasting at Sugar Factory at 835 Washington Street, followed by a visit to Exhibitionism - The Rolling Stones exhibit. The Sugar Factory was the perfect setting for Devotion Vodka to showcase signature cocktails in Sugar Factory's large goblets, garnished with lollipops and candy necklaces. In case you haven't experienced Devotion Vodka yet, it's the world's first gluten free and sugar free Vodka. It amazes me that my face doesn't turn red and I do not wake up with a hangover when I drink Devotion Vodka!

The signature cocktails during the vodka tasting included Sugar & Stones (Blue Cotton Monin, Coconut Monin, Splash Lemon Spritzer, and Devotion Vodka), Sunshine Tea (Devotion Tiki Tea, Limoncello and Devotion Citrus), and Lollipop Passion (Devotion Citrus, Coconut Rum, and Boulaine Melon).

Exhibitionism - The Rolling Stones at Industria at 775 Washington St. is an incredibly cool exhibit, with a style & fashion gallery that spans from the 1960s to the present, with clothing from Alexander McQueen, Prada, Dior, Gucci, L'Wren Scott, Jean Paul Gaultier and more. There is also a vintage guitar gallery, a reconstruction of 'Edith Grove,' their first shared flat in London, original artworks from Andy Warhol, David Bailey, John Pasche and more, interactive displays, a backstage recreation, and a 3D concert finale. Exhibitionism -The Rolling Stones ends on March 12th so see it while you still can!

Thank you Devotion Vodka for an awesome night of cocktails and The Rolling Stones!
