Georgetown Cupcakes.


 Georgetown Cupcakes
111 Mercer Street (between Spring and Prince)
New York, NY 1001


 Cupcakesss~
What to say. Not much really, other than they're O.K. I got this chocolate-y cupcake, and it was...interesting. Not to sound like a douche, (aside from this being a written as a "food critic") but I feel like the frosting was too much for the cupcake. They're already small as is. The frosting takes up like two-thirds of the bloody cupcake, I could barely taste the chocolate, which in my opinion wasn't that good, it could've done more with sweetening, although I'm not to sure as to the direction the cupcakes are meant to taste. If the direction was sweet, they've not done a good job at it :T. I may be sounding very critical on my judgment, especially since this is like, my first cupcake. Though after having this one I'm not too sure if I'm gonna go and get another one, since every cupcake there has virtually the same proportions between frosting and cake part.

Mine is the one with sprinkles, canat it's chocolate. Gooooooood. Though, this won't even probably reach anywhere too deep into the interwebs, I feel that this needs clarifying. I do understand that some people are into the frosting overshadowing the actual cake thing itself, I'm not one of those people. Although, I might just revisit Georgtown cupcakes some time in the future, who knows. I was going to get the Red Velvet cupcake, but my friend said it wasn't that good, so then I got the chocolate vanilla, and now it's okay. I guess.

Starbucks Frappucino Hour

All Starbucks Frappucinos are half off their regular price. Yayyyy cheap(er) stuff.
Starts May 3, ends May 12; 3-5 PM.

Pictured: Vanilla Bean Frappucino with Raspberry (left) and White Chocolate Mocha Frappucino with Raspberry (right)

Some tips for your visit to Starbucks:
  1. Know that the Starbucks is most likely going to be extremely crowded if it is in a neighborhood full of cheap asses and (junior) high schoolers. 
  2. Be polite. Well, this should apply for everything. But still. 
  3. Don't piss off your barista. He or she is handling something you are about to consume. Take caution.
  4. Tip! If there's a tip jar, throw in your spare change or more, if you're feeling like a Saint. These people don't get paid enough.
  5. Do NOT order from the secret menu. You will look stupid. Order it as a drink from the menu, with modifiers.
  • Example:
    "Herp Derp, gimme a Cotton Candy Frap" = Wrong.
    "Hi, I'd like a Tall Vanilla Bean Frappucino with 2 Pumps of Raspberry." = Right!
That's it (for the most part). Enjoy your frosty beverages!

Mac Bar

54 Prince St
 (between Mulberry St & Lafayette St)
 New York, NY 10012 

Mac bar is a fabulous restaurant that serves primarily macaroni and cheese (it has salads and stuff too but going to a mac and cheese place and getting a salad is like sacrilege). This was a while ago, but we've gone there since then and the food remains as good as always.  


 Above is the Margarita Mac (in the smaller container) and the Beef Stroganoff Mac (in the larger container).  

The Margarita Mac is by far my favorite. It has fresh basil, tomatoes, mozzarella, and parmigiano cheese. It's like pizza but mac and cheese and it is superb. The tomatoes add a really nice twang to it, and the basil adds to it perfectly. 

The Beef Stroganoff is also very good. It has braised beef, mushrooms, and sour cream sauce. It's very hearty and filling. It's more cheesey than the Margarita, so if you love cheese and beef t's definitely the way to go. 

 The atmosphere is nice, and the service is fairly quick. The only problem we've ever had is seating, as it is often very crowded. But never fear you can take it out! Unless it's really cold and you have nowhere to eat it. Then you have a problem.

 I'd highly recommend it, as there aren't many places that specialize in mac and cheese (which is really tragic because mac and cheese is the food of gods). Before Mac Bar I didn't even like mac and cheese all that much, and then I tried it and now I'm a believer! So whether you're a mac and cheese aficionado, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, Mac Bar is always the answer. 
Always.
