Favorite Restaurants in New York

I love GOOD cheesecake and Juniors knows how to do it. There are several pictures of us eating cheesecake at this plays and so Todd thinks that's all we did while we were in New York! We decided this was our favorite...chocolate mousse. Yum! I really, really, really wanted to bring some home with me so Todd could try it but I figured 5 hours on the plane....probably not a good idea. http://www.juniorscheesecake.com

I don't have a great picture that shows what this restaurant looks like or any pictures of the food. But this was one of our favorite meals. Serafina is the name of this Italian restaurant. It felt so NY. We sat at an open door that overlooked a very cool street with yellow flowers and an iron scroll gate. Yummy food! http://www.serafinarestaurant.com
It's hard to say exactly which restaurant was my favorite but this one might win that title. We discovered this restaurant in SoHo by just coming across it. It's called SoHo Park. The website is http://www.sohopark.nyc.com. The food was absolutely delicious. I had a cheeseburger with fried zuchinni sticks. And the settting was perfectly SoHo NY. Loved it!!

Okay...we rode a subway, walked MANY blocks and waited 20 minutes in line to buy these four cupcakes. Are we crazy? Absolutely. Was it worth it? Yes. The bakery is called Magnolia's. These cupcakes were apparently put on the map by Oprah. After waiting in line, you walk into a very small bakery and simply get your cupcakes and get out. They run people through like cattle and no one seems to mind. So we went across the street to a cute little park and ate our cupcakes like everyone else. Again, I wanted to bring some back for Todd(whatever, they would be for me) but I didn't think they would travel well.

I just had to include the picture of us devouring them. Yes. We ate all four on the spot!!

This is another restaurant that people will stand in line forever, be treated poorly by the host and still pay for the stuff. I had "The Haight-Ashbury" (sliced turkey, tomato, avocado and alfalfa sprouts with melted muenster on raisin pumpernickel with Russian dressing). Really good! They are "famous" for their frozen hot chocolate. So, of course, we had to try it! Yum! Their dessert menu looked awesome. And people all around us were getting these amazing desserts. But we stopped ourselves at the frozen hot chocolate.
By the way, you have to check out their website. It is so cute!!!
