This Brooklyn bar turns viral Dubai chocolate into a boozy cocktail
Some trends are just too delicious to resist. Most recently, Dubai chocolate has captivated sweets lovers across the globe, drowning social media feeds and emptying wallets everywhere. Already, there are a half dozen places to find Dubai chocolate in NYC. The viral, pistachio-and-phyllo–flecked confection even inspired Sweet Graffiti bakery to add a Middle Eastern twist to their menu, lacing vanilla soft-serve ice cream with Dubai-style chocolate sauce, pistachio cream, and toasted kataifi. Now, another, much boozier rendition has debuted the Arlo Williamsburg: the 'Dubai Me A Drink' cocktail. Sip your dessert by sidling up to the bar at Sungold, the Italian leaning, seasonally-driven restaurant set inside the Brooklyn hotel. Rather than replicate the original Arabic treat, mixologist Armando Acevedo made it his own, infusing his spiked interpretation with nostalgic, high-impact flavors. The creamy, dreamy 'Dubai Me A Drink' swirls 100-percent American corn vodka with house-made pistachio cream, rich chocolate liqueur, cacao bitters, roasted pistachios and a luxurious hint of saffron. To mimic the dazzling, green and gold bars first created by Emirati Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai, curvy coup glasses are embellished with generous swipes of chocolate and showering of crispy kataifi (shredded phyllo). The textural contrasts in this cocktail are deliciously thrilling — we can't wait to taste it alongside one of the restaurant's decadent desserts, like Orange Blossom panna cotta or flourless chocolate terrine with raspberry gelato.

First Look at Italian Restaurant Cane Pazzo in Hanahan
Former Indaco chef Mark Bolchoz opens his own Italian establishment Jun 12, 2025, 10:56 AM UTC Downtown Charleston isn't the only Lowcountry city experiencing a rise in Italian restaurants — Hanahan is getting in the game too with the opening of Cane Pazzo on Friday, June 13. Former Indaco chef and Indigo Road culinary director Mark Bolchoz, who resides in the area with his wife and restaurant co-owner, Ariana Bolchoz, will bring traditional osteria vibes, focusing on Lowcountry products and produce. 'I feel like opening Cane Pazzo is a culmination of my life so far,' says Mark,' It's been about 18 years in the making. I'm super excited.' The menu is seasonal, so catch ever-changing dishes like ricotta triangoli with Sungold tomato sauce or corn and pepper risotto while it's still available. The offerings range from well-worn starters, such as meatballs and crispy mozzarella, to various pasta dishes, and then a few protein-heavy plates, including pan-seared fish and ribeye with a garlic compound butter. Cane Pazzo is designed to be a neighborhood restaurant, and the dining room embodies a laid-back, convivial atmosphere. At 1276 Yeamans Hall Road, you'll find classic Italian restaurant features like black-and-white family photos on the walls, leather banquettes, and a wood-fired oven that anchors the space. Take a look around the space here before the opening. Cane Pazzo will open Tuesday through Thursday, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday through Saturday, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. See More: Charleston Restaurant Openings
