Batting cages, minature golf, and an arcade; this place is a kid-at-heart's dream come true. Minature golf is really fun, and although, I can't bat for the life of me (in fact I tend to duck when a ball is speeding towards me), but the experience in itself is awesome. My only complaint is that in the summer months, the minature golf set-up is surrounded by mosquitos, which sends me into a scratching frenzy for the rest of the night.

I love this Toys R Us! Whenever I am in the area, and the crowds get too rowdy or it gets too chilly outside, I always venture into Toys R Us for a little visit. I never seem to leave empty-handed; I either pick up a toy or I stock up on candy. They also have foosball table and a basketball arcade game set up, so you'll never be bored there. And if time permits and the lines are short, my friends and I get tickets for the Ferris Wheel. This is the best Toys R Us ever!!!

light, fluffy, and deceivingly delicious

Eileen's makes the most amazing cheesecakes, it's not too creamy and heavy, but instead tastes fluffy and light. It's almost deceiving since you are probably consuming 2000 calories from a single slice. I prefer Junior's, but Eileen's is what my family mostly gets. The pineapple cheesecake was surprisingly good, but I like the strawberry and the plain ones the most.

My only problem is which Witch to get
Fat Witch is a bakery that only sells brownies inside Chelsea Market, and their cute little logo alone makes me want to buy all of their products. Luckily for me, their brownies are also delicious!...
Fat Witch is a bakery that only sells brownies inside Chelsea Market, and their cute little logo alone makes me want to buy all of their products. Luckily for me, their brownies are also delicious! The Fat Witch Walnut, Java Withc and the Snow Witch are my favorites, and sometimes it's really hard to decide which ones to get (I usually end up getting them all). And for those who only want a little piece, they have Brownie babies, although the baby flavors are limited to original, blonde, and walnut.

good eats

This place has it all: from actual japanese food, to shakes, and the best cream puffs ever. Isn't it amazing that when people wander into a Beard Papa's, they can actually decide that they want lunch rather than dessert? Beard Papa's has great rice wraps, udon, and mango smoothies.Try it once just to say that you've tried it. You won't regret it.
Actually a friend was complaining about my misleading review, since it appears only the Beard Papa's on 40-something St. has food, and that Beard Papa's is actually just the bakery part. I will get back to you once I look into this.

A Little Too Sweet for My Taste
Sure Magnolia's has great cupcakes, why else would they be so famous? I do like their cupcakes, but I can only eat about half a cupcake because they are just so darn sweet. My favorite is the...
Sure Magnolia's has great cupcakes, why else would they be so famous? I do like their cupcakes, but I can only eat about half a cupcake because they are just so darn sweet. My favorite is the vanillia frosting one, although I usually take some of the frosting off the top. Other times, I like to get the frosting-free cupcakes and that solves the too-sweet problem, although it is actually not as good without frosting. And, I shall leave you with that last run-on sentence.

Best Italian Pasteries You'll Find

Veniero's is one of the best pastry shops in NYC, and I live right by Little Italy. Sometimes I find myself wandering here after a late-movie or dinner, to get desserts I didn't even know I was in the mood for until I happened to be on 11th St. There is almost always a long line, so you have to wait until they call your number to place your order, but let me tell you, it's well worth the wait. They have the best fruit tarts and their individuals cheesecakes are like like individual pieces of heaven. Although I prefer to get my tiramisu from Sambuca's, Veniero's sure knows how to make a mean tart.

Good gelato, great location

I love, love, LOVE, Little Italy; and although Ferrara's is all the way on Grand, away from the other dessert restaurants of Little Italy, I'd venture over there if it meant that I would be able to get some late night gelato. My friends used to work there and so I was there fairly often. The ambience, desserts, and service are all great. Ferrara's will probably be around for a long time; it is a big tourist attraction for those who are in the Chinatown vicinity, and they never seem to be low in customers.

Gossip columns and cheesy teen novels team up to create the hybrid that is the Gossip Girls Series. Now I am no longer a teenybopper, but I sure can appreciate a little light reading on the weekends. The plot in this series never seems to progress, but that doesn't stop me from picking up the next book in the series. Not to mention, the random hookups keep getting weirder and weirder. I know there are only so many characters, but partners are traded off more often in the GG series than during swing dancing. Despite all the shortcomings, this series is more addictive than crack.

Where the red fern grows is one of my favorite children's books. The relationship between a boy and his dogs (and also the relationship between the dogs) in this book basically just reinforces the fact that dog is man's best friend. I am a dog-lover and a book-lover, and this book has the best of both worlds. This story is very touching; I remember after I finished reading the book, I cried for hours.
