Stroopwafels: Danku or No Danku?
Dutch eatery Danku has opened in Midtown to mixed reviews, though Cravings swears by the Indonesian Sloppy Joe + Organic Fries and NYC Foodie recently discovered some unique dishes there worth trying. We got word from Danku today that come April 30th, which just happens to be Queen’s Day (Holland’s National Holiday), they will begin serving made-to-order stroopwafels, which they tell us are popular sweet treats in the Netherlands. I think I know why these waffles are popular in Amsterdam. In fact, I think I probably had one or ten while I was there last. The waffles will be made on a genuine Dutch waffle-maker. They also tell us that Stroopwafels, which translates literally to “syrup waffles,” are different from the thick rectangular Brussels-style waffles most people think of. They are made with two thin round waffles sandwiched together, with a soft caramel filling in the center. I have a feeling we’ll soon be hearing from bloggers and Midtown Lunch commenters whether it’s Danku or No Danku to these Stroopwafels. Stay tuned.

Handmade stroopwafels are also available in Brooklyn from The Good Batch. They’re sold each Saturday at the Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene, both the traditional style and unique flavors. Check them out–they’re delicious!
