I'm surprised Singlema didn't tell you about Crumb or Goergetown Cupcake, both amazing. I'm glad you had fun in NYC. I've lived here all my life and there's never a shortage of things to do, see, and taste.

What a wonderful experience for you and Mimi! The first time in 6 or 7 years that you met, that is awesome. I could feel your pain on the delayed flight. I used to be a flight attendant and remembered the days of delayed flights! Bummer!! 150 lbs of fabric, that was some shopping.
