Serendipity

I haven't been traveling as much as Ashley, but I have been making more frequent quick trips up to NYC for last minute work stuff. And one of those last-minute trips happened to coincide with Ashley's brief trip to NYC.

Joo, Ashley and I had dinner at Westville, where Ash got the true NYC experience of waiting for over an hour for a table at a (really, really good) hole-in-the-wall. Then we hit Magnolia for some cupcakes. The following day, I got to show Ashley my office (more importantly, the view from my office) and then we had lunch! It was such a treat!

Glad you had fun but I hardly consider Westville a hole in the wall by New York standards. Maybe living in the burbs is making you soft. And Magnolia??? I'll forgive it because its closer to Westville than Billy's but Billy's is far far better.

I may not be a NYer anymore but I still keep all my NYer opinions!

Ahh! Magnolia Bakery. It's true Billy's is great, but Magnolia is where we had our first NYC cupcakes. West Village August 2001.

Well, I see that "mom" got in before I did about Magnolia's and their cupcakes! Ahhh, is right...wish I was there standing in line for my NYC cupcake(s)! Yummmmm. It was a great trip.

I feel that the only way to resolve the debate is another trip to investigate Billy's vs. Magnolia. Eli also didn't mention the most excellent pizza we had for lunch the next day. Don't know if it was "NY style", but it sure was yummy!!!
