Jenny showed me this wonderful cupcake snack shop on Spring Street between Mercer and Broadway today called Baked By Melissa. The place is literally a hole in the wall with an order/pick-up window and nothing more (think of it like a cupcake truck…without the truck).
Anyway, Baked By Melissa specializes in teeny tiny cupcakes that are about the size of a bottle cap (maybe slightly bigger). They’re highly addictive and delicious, so you have to watch out because one person can easily finish a box of 12.
Prices are high for the amount of cupcake you’re actually getting, but it’s good nonetheless. Just be prepared to be broke if you intend to eat some everyday.
Keith Loutit, the same person that created the mini Sydney video, has worked his magic again, but this time at a monster truck rally.
One of the things I’ve always wanted to do was visit a monster truck show. The fascination with big trucks with big wheels running over junk cars has been with me ever since I was little. The only problem is that there doesn’t seem to be any monster truck shows here in the Northeast (and if there are, then they certainly aren’t publicized for us normal folks).
Anyway, watch this totally awesome video. Take special note of the crowds. They look beautiful when sped up and lit up by the explosions and fireworks.
