Dessert is the best second stop on a date: it's short, it's inexpensive, and it gives you a reason to walk somewhere after dinner. These are places that exist for dessert — gelato, pastry, chocolate, late-night sweets — rather than restaurants with a good dessert menu.
This guide ranks 3 dessert spots in Upper East Side. Editors' picks come first, then the rest by rating, and the plans below build a whole evening around the best of them.
