New York: Day 2

After struggling to wake up, Julia & I met up with our bestie Alex. Alex is living in the Soho area for the summer, so she took us all around the area. It was nice to really experience the city without all the touristy stuff- as much fun as it can be!

BEST cupcake place! Unlike any other cupcake store, Baked by Melissa is nothing more than what you see in this picture. Just walk up, tell them what you want, & enjoy your delish cupcake!

 So many different flavors. I got red velvet, s'mores, cookie dough, & oreo. YUM. Oh and the best part is that these cupcakes are adorable & bite-sized! 

Little Italy

Hello China town! I know this area may look dingy, but down the stairway under the yellow "Doyers" sign is an updated aztec-like restaurant called Pulqueria. 

You know you have found it when you see this blue door.

I definitely made a sigh of relief when I saw this inside of Pulqueria. The atmosphere is fabulous. The Mexican vibe and dim lighting sets the tone for a festive dinner.

After our adventure to China town, we took a taxi back to Soho where we met up with some friends at Gatsby's.

We had originally planned to simply stop by for one or two drinks, but (as usual) our night lasted long into the night. Woops!
