Our little trip to see U2 gave us an excuse to go be tourists for a few hours in Manhattan. First stop: Carnegie Deli for some overpriced but huge deli sandwiches.
We decided next time we were there, we'd bring our own 8 x 10 headshots and replace Rip Taylor on the wall of every celebrity known to man.
Across the street is our namesake...so classy...like us...right?
Basically, we didn't have a ton of time to hit every landmark on the island. So we decided to do a whirlwhind tour of them all via Top of the Rock. Way up high above 30 Rock is the observation deck, with some A-MAZING views of the city.
That's the ol Empire State Bldg growing out of Kelly's head.
I love this place.So don't tell anybody I was with, but one of the highlights of my trip was spotting this place. Since I'm the quintessential suburbanite, we don't have these on our street corners. Mobile bakeries. Yum.
How cute is this truck?
I'm so lame, I got a chocolate cupcake with vanilla icing. But it was phenomenal. I will always choose cupcakes over other delicious options, but when I walked up to the truck, the woman was literally holding a hot pan of fresh-out-of-the-oven brownies. The whole block smelled incredible. It was the perfect little ending to a lovely random Thursday in the city.
Oh and seriously Shan, stop trying to wear cute shoes when you're traipsing all over the city. You'll always regret it. And your feet will hate you.

What a fun little getaway. I love NY.
I always wear fabulous shoes, and by the end of the day I hate my life. Why must we be so amazing Shannon??
LOOOVE the views, looks like you had a great time. But Kelly might want to get the building sprouting from her head looked at.
One day I'll have to talk about the time I took the train to NYC for a smoothie. Good times.

FYI- Philly now has a cupcake truck. It even tells you it's course for the day and where it will be parked. I think it's called Cupcake lady.
Can we please quit our jobs and buy a cupcake truck? You get the even days, I'll take the odd and we can take turns watching each other's kids who do not yet exist.
Thanks.
NYC... such fun... I haven't been there in years. And it's so close, such a pity.
