Goodnight Fatty’s

1 Washington Square (behind a brick wall at the corner of Brown and Washington)

This is a high-concept dessert and breakfast spot open only on the weekends (Fri-Sun). On the first weekend of each month, they have special vegan cookie, and their cookies are MADNESS. Always different, always decadent. If you don’t happen to hit it on that first weekend of the month, they always serve up vegan chocolate ice cream. It’s extremely rich chocolate. You’ve been warned. Eat in their nice little courtyard or in Salem Common across the street.
