Every once in a while, a savvy girl’s gotta step back and take note of her accomplishments.

Bis.Co.Latte, the Hell’s Kitchen café that specializes in literally hundreds of hand-made biscotti.

There are also some delicious coffee concoctions, including “Viennese Coffee:” espresso, steamed milk, and whipped cream (yum). Aside from the worn wooden chairs and tables, the menu selection is scrawled on white wooden planks displayed about the storefront, adding to the rustic feel of the place...
