Fans of the East Village dessert bar ChikaLicious should get ready to rejoice: It's spinning off a new dessert bar... across the street (204 E. 10th St.).
Opening in mid-November and called ChikaLicious Puddin', the newcomer is billing itself as "America's First Made-To-Order Take Away Desserts" spot. Amazingly, Puddin' will initially feature only three items on its menu (Brioche Bread Puddin', Steamed Apple Puddin' and Adult Chocolate Puddin'), all "made to order, out of the oven and into your hands."
The new spot won't have seating or serve alcohol, but it will have your standard caffeinated beverages. And in case you were concerned, the folks over at ChikaLicious want to assure you that they have no intention of stepping on any other pudding places' toes, telling us that "no rice pudding of any sort will ever be considered for menu placement!"
