Wondering what strikes the bellies of New Yorkers for dessert, the Daily News asked different NYC restaurant managers what their most popular desserts are. The unofficial favorite - the molten chocolate cake (one recipe from Godiva), because there's nothing like waiting 20 minutes for chocolate cake with melted chocolate inside, accompanied by vanilla ice cream.
Here are the top desserts of different NYC restaurants:
Blue Smoke - Key Lime Pie served with whipped cream and lime confit, and Sticky Toffee Pudding made with dates and beer.
BREAD - Tribeca Fritelle (mini-doughnuts filled with light orange cream served with warm basil chocolate).

Chat 'n' Chew - Cupcake Chocolate Cake served with vanilla ice cream.
Danube - Topfenpalatschinken (warm wild huckleberry crepes, huckleberry sorbet and topfen ice cream).
Django - Strawberry and Lemon Bread Pudding with sour cream sherbet.
Dos Caminos - Dos Caminos Banana Split with tres crackle ice cream, mezcal marshmallow fluff and peanut butter crunch.
Frankie & Johnnie's Tiramisu, with Strawberry Creme Brulee a close second.

i love love love key lime pie. do you think blue smoke or rare will just sell me some pie?
how did i know this one comment would be yours even before i clicked on the link?
wait, did you know that the comment would be mine because of the key lime pie mention, or did you know that if the comment was mine, it would be about key lime pie?
anything that mentions "key lime pie" is going to get a comment from you. .
let's not forget the make your own s'mores at first, the crepes at pastis and the molten chocolate cake (with birthday candle and caramelized sugar dome) at raoul's, people.
I'm somewhat biased, but the Provence salad at Aix was a revelation to me: celery shavings, honey (I think), honeydew melon, green tomatoes and pomegranate sauce with what can only be described as vibrant mint sorbet. Amazing combination of flavors.
And I second the key lime pie at Blue Smoke, though the sticky toffee pudding (much ballyhooed by them) was a disappointment--too much breadstuff, not enough sticky.
The crepes suzette at Pastis are delicious.
I'm a fool for sundaes: The vanilla ice cream with fudge and toasted almonds at Cafe Luxembourg makes me swoon.
I'm a fan of the gelato at Otto. Mmmm . . . gelato. . .
Does anyone have the recipe for Le Bernardin's Warm Chocolate Tart? If yes, please, please email it to me. Thank you.

1 box yellow cake mix

1/4 cp dry white wine
Mix all cake ingredients in bowl for five minutes. Grease and flour bundt pan. Pour mixture in. Bake at 350F for 50 minutes.
