I gotta tell ya — from my rundown, ramshackle shack here on a mountain top in North Carolina, that cupcakes play a HUGE role in my diet, in my culinary life, and in my pursuit of happiness.

ALAS, there is not a cupcake (other than my lovely wife) in sight.

But as soon as I climb down from this Cold Mountain, I’m headin’ for Safeway and a whole passel of ‘Little Debbie’ cupcakes.

Why, pshaw, if my welfare check has arrived, I may opt for the more expensive “Hostess” cupcakes!

i never had cookies from subway but cookies from Pret a manger was good but i wouldn’t vote it as the best cookies in NYC. My favorite is chocolate chip cookies from Double tree hotel. so good!!

to be honest, the numbers don’t look that bad. according to cupcakes take the cake, the highest was 600 for the carrot cake one and those cupcakes are huge.

Brick Lane Curry House Too, which is next door to Mantao, was also closed due to the boiler issue.

Obviously, that is MY kind of pub, probably a bit confused about its identities — but then, are not MOST New Yawkas a bit confused about their identities?

I’ve been to the average 2 rolls and soup w/salad for around $10 places that have real crab. Again, I have to ask first if I’m in the mood for that. Last time I had it was a year ago at some place on the UWS.. can’t remember the name unfortunately. But if anyone is really interested I can ask my friend what the name is -she works up there.

i just had the chocolate chip cookies from Pret a manger and noticed that they had a calorie content written under them. 300 calories..so that means if i eat 10 cookies which i can easily do, i will be eating 3000 calories. O_O

I get the Cali roll so i’ll at least have a little bit of vegetables. My mother would be proud. :)

Sounds like a south east asian place that the Kennedy’s frequent…
