I Cupcake New York

If you're looking to enter the giveaway -- it's at the bottom of the next post. Today's the last day!




I have to give a little travel log. I don't go out of town every day, or do I? I kind of do, just not alone with my husband. Last time we left the kids my oldest was 3. She's almost 16. It was time.


I checked out a couple of places you guys mentioned. Vanessa told me about Magnolia Bakery. Delicious -- we did have a cupcake for you. Got the cute t-shirt above for the one of the girls. They didn't have my size. I don't think people eating cupcakes are petite.




Weather was perfect. Did not need a coat! I think that was my most favorite thing about the whole trip. The temperature was nice.

We stayed right by Times Square. Wicked was fabulous. Rick said I couldn't bring a camera -- um, everyone else did. So no pictures of the inside of the theatre, but it was something to look at. The Wicked Witch of the West looked & dressed exactly like a gal I know, except she's not green. So it was a little hard to disassociate, but I did. Highly recommend. We walked & walked through Central Park. I bet it's gorgeous in the summer. Trees everywhere.

The big hit at the park was the man with puppies behind me. I guess people don't see a lot of puppies. :-) It was good "people watching".

This is not something you should not be seeing -- checking emails. I have quite a few pictures of him doing that, but I guess since it was part of his business trip, he had to be accessible. At least that's what he said.

Rockefeller Center - it was fun to watch the ice skaters. No, we didn't skate, not that brave or rich. Looks just like it does on TV.

Visited the Twin Towers - World Trade Center site. It's over sixteen acres -- it was all fenced off. There will be five skyscrapers and a museum and memorial. The museum & memorial are under construction.

Leela mentioned Roxy Cafe. We visited twice -- once for lunch & then for dessert. They must have had 20 amazing cheesecakes. Hard to decide.

Heath Toffee cheesecake -- we chose well.

We did a ton -- flea market, subway traipsing, death-defying cab rides, buying treats for the kids at Dylan's Candy Bar, shopping & more walking. Thanks for coming along.

Next time, we'll visit Purl Patchwork & I'll show you what I got Des.
