HELLOOOO NEW YORK

NYC: 5 hours in…

Absolutely frrrrreeezing cold…like NEGATIVE 20 with windchill! 

But that didn’t stop us from hitting the streets of the lower east side.

A few highlights:

Delicious cupcakes from Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery (126 Rivington St) – they’ve got red velvet cupcakes, but they don’t beat the Magnolia Bakery test…sorry guys!

The absolutely amazing Charlie and the chocolate factory-like candy store, Economy Candy (108 Rivington St) – it brought on crazy nostalgia…remember pop rocks, fun dip, gold rush, hot tomales…basically, enough candy to rot your face off.


I’ll finish this off with Vanessa’s (118A Eldridge st.), the dumpling house that is oh so good and oh so cheap.  We gorged on dumplings, hot & sour soup, and red bean buns for next to nothing.

Okay peeps, NY nap time.
