Birthday (part 3)

I had a great day in NYC on Thursday. Getting up for the 4.15am bus was pretty awful, but I managed to sleep all the way to the city.

First stop in Manhattan was Magnolia Bakery in Greenwich Village to buy cupcakes. These are the stuff of legend - Tal and I both came close to going into a sugar induced coma after eating one of these the next day. The frosting is amazing!

Next stop was breakfast at Cafe Angelique. The french toast was to die for, and the latte was pretty good too!

I then headed uptown to Central Park to see the Gates. Absolutely fantastic, and well worth the long bus trip.

While I was walking around Central Park it started snowing, so I decided to head home a little earlier than planned to avoid road delays. So it was a few quick shopping stops, dinner at Cara Mia, and then on to the bus. And eventually (only 1 hour late) home and blissfully into bed.
