A nibble of the Apple

Start spreading the news....[dut dut da nana, dut dut da nana]
I'm leaving today....
I want to be a part of it....

Any guesses where I'm going?

We're heading for a couple of days in New York--one of my favorite places on earth, (maybe because it's where I started life on the planet?). I'm looking forward to a quick fix with plans to see a show or two, visit some old favorites like Serendipity3, the Met, John's Pizzeria, the Whitney and check out some places I haven't seen yet like Fisher's Eddy, Kitchenette, and Magnolia Bakery or Buttercup Bake Shop for a cupcake, and maybe even make it to the Cloisters this time. I know there are hundreds of other fabulous places, shops, and restaurants. I'd love to hear your suggestions...what's your favorite spot?

Jen, I just realized most of the places on the list are from your recommendations at some point. You are my go-to for NY hints.
