Autumn Saturday V: First in Line @ Shake Shack

This was actually an autumn Sunday, but I didn't want to mess up my post titles. Sorry! I was still feeling a little under the weather, so we didn't venture very far, just up to Madison Square Park, up to Central Park, and then back down to Chelsea. The rain held out, and the sun actually came out in afternoon. Huzzah! But I was too tired to make my usual Sunday-night batch of cookies. Stay tuned, though...new cookies TK tonight!

At Madison Square Park, there's an art installation called Tree Huts. They look like tree houses to me.

Also in Madison Square Park is Shake Shack, the city's most popular burger stand. Usually there's a line wrapping around the south side of the park, and you have to wait for close to an hour just to place your order. On this day, though, we were literally first in line and got the first burgers of the day.

After we walked around Central Park for a while, we headed home but stopped off to gawk at a new super-luxe development and have cupcakes from Billy's Bakery. Jon and I are definitely cookie guys, not cupcake guys.

I shouldn't have looked before I ate. I really shouldn't have looked. Now, I want a hamburger and a cute little cupcake for dessert. You can save the cupcakes for me, then. Your cookies are baked and packed. I have a couple of other things to put in the box and will be ready to ship tomorrow. Will you share one w/your real-life taster April, please? Tell her it's from Gldn.

Hey, Alicia. I think this place is right up your alley: http://www.burgersandcupcakes.us/

Thank you SO much for sending me goodies. I'll most certainly share with April. I told her this morning that I'll have some of your cookies for her. :-)

They should be there by Thursday. I hope you like the other things I included in the box. I forgot to include a note. Two of the items were made with my own two hands. Only one of them is edible. A third thing should be shared w/Jonazz on a cool evening. And the last thing is just a keepsake to remind you that someone in VA loves what you do.
