Kaffee, my essential every-day-drug. Back home, I managed to rehab from it and switch to my beloved Kusmi, Mariage Frères or Theodor tea, but here in New York that paper cup in your hand is a must-have accessory ;)! Besides, in NYC you can find many coffee bars, which serve great coffee (And I'm definitely not talking about Starbucks here!!). So while strolling through TriBeCa, one of my favourite neighbourhoods, I found this super nice coffee place serving not only the dark elixir against morning grumpiness, but also various sorts of pastries and lunch dishes.

'Georgetown Cupcake' - Better than 'Magnolia Bakery' ?!

- Well, I think that's a question of your personal taste, whether you have a sweet tooth, or rather prefer desserts, which are not overloaded with sugar. I think that in general 'Magnolia Bakery' cupcakes are much sweeter, the muffin below the cream is a bit more firm and so is the cream itself. That's probably also the reason why after eating a 'Magnolia Bakery' cupcake you feel really saturated, however the 'Georgetown Cupcake' cupcake could be a never ending story.

Since winter is almost here and it is getting colder and colder, I have to look for some places where I can hang out, drink hot chocolate for hours and hours while reading a book or browsing the internet. 'Café Angelique' (click to get to webpage -> here) seems perfect for this. Located in West Village, close to Greenwich Village, it is located in a very pretty area with Washington Square nearby.

Gebacken nach einem traditionellen amerikanischen Backrezept (danke Ceci ;)) ), ist dieser Brownie vor allem eines: lecker!!! Sein durch und durch schokoladiger Geschmack lässt einen auf Wolke sieben schweben und die Unzahl an Kalorien, die darin schlummern, vergessen. Denn Kalorien hat dieser Kuchen en masse ;)
