Tomorrow I'm heading off to New York, where I won't be eating an apple a day - more like a cake a day. I'm touring some of the city's loveliest, tastiest little bakeries for a spot of research (yes, this actually is work!) for a few projects I'm working on and can't wait. It's my first time in New York and I'm unbelievably excited - I'll be staying in the ubercool Hudson Hotel overlooking Central Park, and visiting (to name but a few) the Ladybird Bakery, Billy's, Baked, Babycakes... the list goes on and on.
Having just finished reading Colette Rossant's food memoir, Madeleines in Manhattan (at EatLikeAGirl's recommendation to me), I'm also very excited to head to Sullivan Street (I believe she actually lived/lives on the street too), where we'll be popping into Sullivan St Bakery.
It's only a flying visit, but we'll be spending Thursday in Brooklyn, eating lunch at Vinegar Hill House which I read lovely reviews about. Before flying back Friday, I'll be catching up with my wonderful friend Sarah, who's promised we'll hang out in Chelsea, where she lives, and venture up possibly to SoHo if we've got time before my flight.
And of course, thanks to the other lovely Sarah, I'll be able to take some vaguely pretty photos at least too (all recent ones snapped with her on-loan Nikon D40 after her masterful supervision) - so you can read and see all about it when I'm back. To the Big Apple!

Do try the banana pud' at Magnolia and a hope youre visiting the Momofuku Milk Bar. My faves in NY are Kittichai, Commerce and the Rose Bar at the Gramercy. Buon Viaggio, H.
PS I adore Rossant- her Apricots on the Nile is beautiful, too. Take some Paul Auster on the plane with you :) quintessential NYer.
Have fun here. Be prepared for the heat.
I'm on Rossant's Return to Paris at the moment :) And Momofuku booked for lunch too - will be posting a *lot* of pictures!
@Bromeliad - thank you. I don't think I am prepared for the heat. I do, however, have a hat. x
Vanilla cheesecake- is it baked? yum yum
Ohhh Fashion, Billy's is very close to where I live! Text me when you are there so if I'm in the area I will come quickly to say hello. Oh, and you mustn't miss the cupcake cafe - on 18th Street between 5th and 6th avenues. XXX
