Granola bars, sprinkles & a really great umbrella

The church we've been working with does giveaways regularly throughout Hoboken. This is Drew passing out granola bars this morning. It was freezing cold but the people were responsive. The giveaways range from food to hand-warmers, each with a card detailing the church's location and website.

This is where I failed. I came upon Magnolia Bakery in Grand Central and had the the same unfortunate reaction as I do in any Anthropology or paper store - I wanted one of everything so I bought nothing. I left without buying a single cupcake! I just got some sprinkles, why, because I'm lame and buckled under the pressure.




My sprinkles, which are packaged so cute I'll probably never open them. (ps: this is the view from my room)




This lady iced about two dozen chocolate-chocolate cupcakes in about five minutes. She had some skill - and some sprinkles.

"I'd like to checkout a copy of "Nine Lives" by Paul Varjack, please."

My uber tourist moment outside the Mary Poppins show. Would highly recommend the show to anyone with kids - great music and special effects. In the closing scene Mary Poppins flies away with her umbrella - she flies out into the theater and up to the third level balcony.




"Spiderman" has arrived on Broadway with music and lyrics from Bono and The Edge - enough said. Immediately cool. Sold out for months and it hasn't even opened yet.
