oh now I found it

We came back from NYC and for the life of me I could not find my memory card. but aha I found it!

This photo means so much to us. Behind us is the sign for strawberry fields, a memorial to John Lennon. Our moms are huge Beatles fans to say the least, as are Jake and I.  We have the movie Across the Universe memorized front to back. We were on our tour bus and looked over at a big black and gold building and I said  "omg its the Dakota" our tour guide looks at us and said "you like the building eh? fancy building famous people" and I replied "John Lennon died here" and he said "Oh is this the building?"  Maybe I should have been born in a different era to know that that was the building were millions of people had their hearts broken when he was killed. Maybe this Mr. NYC tour guide was just not a Beatles buff. So we got out at the stop for Strawberry Fields and turned and looked at this stunning co-op building, where we dream of living one day. We turned back to walk into Strawberry Fields and listened to the instantaneous quiet that was in this small alcove of  Central Park

how sweet it was

to have minty delight herbal tea with cup cakes for breakfast. Okay I ate the blue one for desert the night before, but the beautiful sprinkled green magically one is the Priscilla Cupcake. Pistachio  HEAVEN!!!!

A few things about me, I am obsessed with sex and the city, I am obsessed with drag shows, if I could get away with it I would drink nothing but hot and ice tea. I am obsessed with broadway musicals, and  I will sell hubs right arm for pistachios. I am highly allergic to nuts and pistachios are one of the few that I can eat without consequence.


Saturday afternoon hubs suggest we take a walk through the village to find Miss Carrie Bradshaw's apartment. Yes yes she is supposed to live on exchange but her address was faux and her brownstone was actually in the village. We found it I didn't take pictures cause well one there was a sign that said no photos and two that is still someone's house. Everyone is telling us that we should go to Magnolia Bakery, well duh of course we must. FYI in case you are dying to know, this is where Miranda and Carrie eat cupcakes outside and Carrie makes her first mention of Aiden.  We mosey in I grab a piece of vanilla cake with buttercream icing and sugar sprinkles and a mint honey tea, I was too excited that we were there to even know what Hubs got. We sat on the benches in the Bleeker Playground and gazed around.... where I found my other other love NARS. Thats a blog for another day though my dears.  I trekked around the village on a sprained ankle on top of a tendentious and was so happy with cake in my tummy and tea in my hand.

Yesterday we ran around the city again came across the 6th street location and OMSBJ they had the Pricilla Cupcakes, which are pistachio cupcakes make for the broadway show Priscilla: Queen of the Desert . Hello a broadway show preformed in drag, and you made a cupcake in honor of it! It was like it was made for me personally I grabbed a hot tea and 2 cupcakes to go. I wish I knew  how to describe the sheer whaaaaahhhh that was the cupcake. The icing was so incredibly creamy on both. I just augh I wish I could explain it but it was heaven. 


I gotta start packing we go home tomorrow and then off to cuddle with the Hubs
