here we are with the post buffalo wing treat at the vegan bakery, babycakes. i picked up a ginger cookie that was quite good, but i could have made at home, and this chocolate iced chocolate cupcake top.
now, let me tell you something. they did something magical with this frosting that i have yet to place exactly how it was created. it was a thick, fudgey dollop of cocoa goodness that maintained a rich integrity with not too much tooth decaying sugar to falsely confuse the taste buds. it was pure blissful chocolate atop a light, fluffy and fresh cupcake top. vegan baking can be a bit oily at times, but this was anything but. i give it babycakes a 9.5/10 for these decadent treats.
onto one of my usual manhattan haunts, teany.
co-owned by musician moby, the real thing to get on the menu is the vegan cheesecake. again, an otherworldly dessert creation in the big apple. this thing has the flavor so right-on, its almost scary. the texture is consistent and moist and sticks to your fork in only the way that cheesecake can. i ordered a teanychino on the side to help wash down the 4-berry slice. teany offers a chill environment that on a wednesday night, i was able to sit back and relish in a bite of my cake every few minutes while leafing through a strange magazine about appalacia.
after this 9.2/10 second helping of dessert, i decided to walk from the lower east side back up to my hotel in midtown. the walk took a hair over three hours and i got back to the hotel at 11:50pm, listened to some music and crashed. walking a city, in my opinion, is the only way to get to know it.

With that much sugar in your system, I don't doubt that you could have easily walked another 3 hours. Were your feet even touching the ground?
