Maybe Food in Midtown Ain't So Bad?

My new gig is very close to my former office...so I am certainly familiar with the neighborhood. It's even the same ol' commute with the same ol' faces I used to see every morning just ten short months ago. The only difference is that *now* I am on the *other* side of Bryant Park...and it's kind of crazy -- I am discovering all sorts of things that have been right here all along...and that I never knew existed.

Case in point: Crumbs Bake Shop. Granted, I've had cupcakes from Magnolia and Sugar Sweet Sunshine...but I had no idea there was a Midtown equivalent! (I still haven't actually *been* to Crumbs...although I heard talk that there is a Snickers cupcake? Woah.)

Also? The 'wichcraft in Bryant Park apparently has ice cream sandwiches that are amazing and wonderful.

There is *also* a new Le Pain Quotidien near the park. I had a "Belgian brownie" there the other day...which is sort of a mishmash of cupcake and brownie. Good stuff.

Sigh. In seven weeks, I am going to be ENORMOUS.

have you tried the peanut butter cookies at wichcraft?? Yum. And definitely get the sweet potato fries at the Bryant Park Grill's cafe. Full disclosure, I work for the Bryant Park Corp., so I eat round the park a lot! Have you tried wichcraft's creamery? Curious to get your opinion on their ice cream.
