Last week, I went to NY to visit my best friend. I needed to get
away one last time before the craziness of school started. It turned out to be a lovely trip, complete with daily ice cream cones. I even ran into a vegan blogger, rachaelrayforever! I was so thrilled to see him, even though he probably had no clue who I was. I got that twist cone from Lula's and it was absolutely wonderful. If you haven't been to Lula's yet, you must go. They make most of their ice creams in-house and they have lots of interesting toppings (see glass jars behind us) and flavors. I seem to only ever want flavors involving peanut butter or chocolate, though. I wonder if they ever have chocolate-hazelnut? I'd die.

CA and I had a lovely pizza picnic at McCarren Park thanks to Vinnie's. Pictured is the eggplant parm slice. While the breaded eggplant was great, it was a little dry sauce-wise. I do tend to like things extra-saucey, though! The cheese also seemed kind of dry, but maybe they just needed to use more of it? Oh well, I'll definitely be going back again just to be able to order from the cute boy at the counter.
