Our Thoughts

Best of the Booth

The Frozen Hot Chocolate Martini, $13.95. This is arguably the best drink of the entire festival. It’s just a Christmas party in a pretty glass and it’s absolutely worth both the price and the wait in line.

Rest of the Booth

• Skip  the Napoleon because it’s small, expensive, and the brioche is dry as a brick.
• Skip the Ham because it’s just meh and salty and there are far better choices.
• Skip the Lollipop because they NEVER have it! They ran out the first 4 times we went to get it. How do you run out of anything before 1:00 p.m.?!? I mean yes supply chains but it’s not like they didn’t know about that when they put it on the menu! Plus, $9.25 for a dessert? France, giving Italy a run for its money.
