Travesty of travesties, this weekend marked the last bit of my four-month stint in New York City. What's up next, you may ask? Next in a few weeks is the exotic and mysterious land of "New Hampshire", where I will in no doubt fight an army of lobsters with my bare hands. Just kidding. It will probably be more blog posts about food, travel, and fashion. In any case, this weekend proved to be jammed packed with East Village culture, much needed girl time, and necklaces with dinosaur robots attached to them. To celebrate my last full day in New York City, I met up with my friends Nicole and Jodi to explore East Village through cookies, coffee, and clothes (clearly the three most important C's in my life).

| Zucker Bakery at Avenue A and E. 9th Street |
Fully caffeinated with some 9th Street Espresso coffees and ice teas, Jodi and Nicole insisted on trying out Zucker Bakery a couple blocks away. Funny note, 9th Street Espresso is actually on 10th Street. Who would have thought? Zucker proved both adorable and delicious, with light powdery confections that weren't too sweet and brought foodgasms all around. Not to mention the decor was simultaneously quaint and fabulous. I can't imagine that a single person would hate a stuffed moose with bedazzled sequin antlers. We fully approved of the honey almond fingers (essentially Mexican wedding cookies, but in stick form) and the alfajhores (dulce de leche short bread).
