I'm a fan of the Wafels & Dinges truck, which changes locations twice a day, mostly staying within Manhattan and going to Brooklyn once or twice a week. You can find out where they are on their website. http://wafelsanddinges.com/location.html I like the Liege waffle, it's got a crispy caramelized sugar crust and a soft inside that reminds me of street waffles I ate in Belgium. They have another type too, but I've never tried it because I keep going back for the Liege. Each 'wafel' comes with one free 'dinge' (topping), and they have a ton you can choose from. Tip: if you follow them on Facebook or twitter, they post every day a way to get a free dinge by answering a trivia question.

I'm a big fan of Wafels & Dinges too.

OP -- you might also want to check out Kyotofu.

check this recent thread:

but word up: hit momofuku milk bar and just go to town; different stuff for sure.

Here are some places that might not be on your radar:

Village Tart
Spot
Chikalicious Dessert Club (formerly Chikalicious Pudding, now with a much expanded menu)
LA Burdick (though coming from Los Angeles this is probably familiar to you?)
Stumptown (which has pastries from the Breslin)
Led Zeppole
DT Works (Dessert Truck is now a storefront)
Momofuku Milk Bar
Bespoke Chocolates
Locanda Verde (not the main restaurant but the coffee shop/takeout portion during the weekdays)
François Chocolate Bar (Payard closed, this is a scaled back version)
Roni-Sue's
Butter Lane

I would recommend Chikalicious for a fun wine-paired dessert course menu.
I would strongly recommend against Momofuku Milk - really terrible.

Chikalicious (the main sit down restaurant) isn't really new.

I personally love Momofuku Milk Bar and have taken many out-of-town visitors there with good results. It is totally a love-it-or-hate-it place though, definitely not everybody's cup of tea.

I see the Dessert Truck's back on the road. Anyone caught up with it? ... http://ny.eater.com/archives/2010/07/...
