City Life

Happy Valentine's Day

Well, there are hearts and flowers all over the city today. Why is it that something that normally costs $x amount, on holidays cost $x² amount? Anyway I woke up with a craving for cupcakes after having a really weird dream about them and not having my shoes at work. So I decided to get on the train to go down to the village. First I went to the East Village and checked out a place called Pommes Frites that I saw on the Food Network. They have Belgium fries with about 100 different toppings. So I got some fries. I tried the horseradish topping and the sweet chili topping. After that I walked to the West Village to Magnolia Bakery. They have the best cupcakes EVER. Well, if you like sweet. I got some vanilla cupcakes with vanilla icing and some banana pudding.

It's interesting to find the different neighborhoods every couple blocks. Each one has it's own little bakeries, corner restaurants and bars. All different kind of groceries. I don't know why it's so amazing to me, all these neighborhoods. I also don't know why I was walking all over Greenwhich in the rain just to get some cupcakes. I had fun though.

Tonight I'm going to go to a new restaurant that one of my friends opened. It should be fun. More on that later. Otherwise nothing all that exciting. I did take this week off work though because it's been so hectic there, I needed a break. They are firing people left and right and it's just such a negative space right now. I need a serious cleansing from all the negativity. Hence me looking for a new job. March will be all anew. I'll have a new place to live and hopefully a new job. That will most likely bring new friends. Springtime is the time for growth and new beginnings right?

So I'm going to take advantage of this week and go see the exhibit in the park, maybe go to a museum, see a show with my friend Jackie and explore. Jackie is great. She does PR for a lot of the musicals on Broadway right now. She is a good friend to have to see shows. I just wish she could get me Wicked tickets. Ah well, such is life.
