Bites 2013: Moscato and Ginger Mousse

This dessert is hella sexy, but in a refined, classy way — like an attractive person at the Broadmoor's swimming pool. It's light and airy, with a ginger simple syrup adding a pleasantly biting zing to the creaminess. Then comes a garnish of salted peanut praline for caramelized contrast and a side of Moscato-ginger honey infused with both lemon and vanilla ... so many lovely flavors hitting in harmony. Genius. Pure genius. ($6)

Best Of 2012: Place to Buy Snowboards

I grew up a skier. So when I walked into Blindside, I told owner Jon Easdon to tell me why I should try snowboarding. His reply? "I'm not going to do that. You go to the mountain for the same reason I do." Call it passion, and know it runs deep at Blindside. The store, which moved to a bigger location across 21st Street in April, delivers the highest-quality boards from smaller brands. "As a shop, we ride everything we bring in," says Easdon, and that includes the skateboards. So you can be sure you're buying quality goods. Also, check out the $20 ski and snowboard tunes: That's a steal!— Celine Wright
