A Visit to Crumbs Cupcakes

Good Afternoon!

Recently, I visted Crumbs Bake Shop in downtown in NYC. I am a fan of Crumbs because there are cupcakes are generous in size and definitely can be shared between two or three people. I especially love visiting crumbs during the holidays throughout the year, especially on Halloween and Christmas where they offer scrumptious holiday favorite cupcakes, like the ones I purchase below.

These cupcakes are both yellow cupcakes, the one with the orange pumpkin cookie is generously filled with a chocolate ganache filling, and the candy corn cupcake is filled with a cream cheese icing. Don't forget that cupcakes made with cream cheese should be refridgerated, whereas the ganache cupcakes can be stored at room temperature for up to two days (otherwise the cupcake becomes stale).

I plan to visit Crumbs again during the Christmas and Chanukah holiday season. I wonder what tasty creations they will think of?

April NYC Trip

Hey Everyone!

This past weekend I went into NYC with my boyfriend and my family.  The weather was beautiful outside so we were very lucky.  I am looking forward to going into the city soon for the car show and to visit the Museum of Natural History.  Here is my itinerary from this past weekend's trip:

• Kinokuniya Bookstore (Bryant Park) for cards, books & Totoro plush :-)
• Rockefellar Center
• Pellegrino's, Little Italy on Mulberry St.
• La Crepe Parisienne, for a nutella and banana crepe
• Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum
• View from the Empire State Building *it was cold up there, bring a jacket if you visit this spot*
• Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum
• Scarlatto for Dinner
• Red Ribbon Bakery inWoodside, Queens

Pellegrino's Review [Little Italy]

Surpasses them all!

Nothing beats this authentic, classy Italian restaurant in the heart of Little Italy. I have been coming to this restaurant for over five years and am often recommending this restaurant to friends and family, and they too have eaten here on multiple occasions. The food is always prepared exceptionally well, paired with decent prices. I personally recommend the rigatoni alla vodka with shallots & chopped mushrooms and the pasta fagoli.  And do NOT skip the phenomenal desserts! If you come to Little Italy, you must dine at Pellegrino’s. You will be undoubtedly satisfied!
