Amber & I
Yes - she's that fabulous & cheery...love her!
Brooklyn, baby!
Oh yeah - and on the walk from the subway to the cafe, we discovered Crumbs Bake Shop, which I'd heard of on many a foodie blog, so we had to pick up a pair of cupcakes.
MrP and his Baba Booey
My Red Velvet Cupcake
These were without a doubt the best cupcakes we'd ever eaten. There was a little too much of the super sweet icing for us, but after removing a little, they were still the most moist & unreal tasty cupcakes, meaning they're #1 in our hearts!
Our cupcake eating view of Central Park
Maybe it's just where we were, but I swear, Central Park smells like pee to me.
I'd heard too many amazing things about Levain having the best cookies
that we could not go to NY and not have them (and I'm not a cookie fan)
that we could not go to NY and not have them (and I'm not a cookie fan)
It's tough to smile in heaven.
Yes, heaven has garbage beside me...and it's called Levain Bakery
once you've shoved some cookie in your face.

I didn't want to show my chocolate & PB chip ridden teeth, but I cannot even begin to imagine how many visits to the gym I'll have to make to feel good about eating the half dozen I plan to bring home. Honest to goodness. Best thing I've ever eaten.
And I don't like cookies.
Heaven!
On the walk back to the hotel, we discovered Screme Gelato Bar, who was sampling Ferrero Rocher (ICK!) but the guy told me to go in & try something else - this Cherry sampling resulted in a small cup for MrP & I to share. Tart & delicious.
And for the smile of the day - MrP when he found a store that sold his new fave beer
Sam Adams Cherry Wheat!

Beautiful architecture
Ready to cross over to Central Park and finish up the last of our 10K walk (so far today)
Max
Yep - I named him. he was too cute - way too friendly.
MrP laughed when I named him and told me he's too unafraid to live for long.
Fountain in Central Park
Cutie!
Lake at Central Park
Wagner Cove
Name sound familiar? Any Beetles fans?
Quite a large room...but here's the real treat...
the view from the 20th floor...
Absolutely AMAZING!
Plus, I was able to learn of my Patriots win!
HALELUJIAH!
