I've never seen anything quite like it. Manhattan boggled my mind. It's constantly moving. I've also never walked so much in my life.
Each day we would grab a wonderful cup of coffee for me and a chai latte for my lovely friend, Gemma and just plunk ourselves down and watch people. There's an endless amusing quality to New Yorkers and even the city's visitors. Their goings-on were captivating.
We stayed with my cousin who lives an hour North of the city. Believe it or not she lives in the country, which was a wonderful contrast to come home to at night.
I didn't make the typical New York tourist stops: buying a fake handbag in an alleyway on Canal St., making it to the top of the Empire State Building, touching Ms. Liberty. No, I was perfectly content with walking all day, while making frequent meal breaks. There's just so much to eat and see.
It was a whirlwind, but completely worth every penny AND calorie.

I can't deny that Magnolia's has an adorable little shop and cute cupcakes but they were just too sweet for me! I'm going back this saturday to try out "Sugar Sweet Sunshine" on Rivington St. I'll let you know if they are worth a stop on your quest for the best cupcake!
Found you through Gilly's blog;-)
