it's almost snack-time!
It is 1:01 as I write this, and I am still eating my lunch (downstairs salad bar today--I was in the mood for a strange combination of foods*), so I really shouldn't be thinking ahead to snack-time already. But I am. It's almost 4th of July weekend, which is shaping up to be pretty festive already. Holiday = snacks? Well, yes. Why not celebrate early with some tasty treats? That's my philosophy anyway.
So what are the options? It is Midtown. Which means, pickins are slimmer. Well there's a giant chocolate chip cookie at Pain Quotidien. Very crispy and delicious. $3.50. Yes, pricey, but enough to feed 4. Then there's Macaron. $1.95 for a very French macaron. Ooh la la. But you have to get the iced tea to go with it. So that runs close to $5. There's always a Starbucks Frappuccino Light. A high price for low-cal at nearly $5 for a medium, but what can you do. Sometimes you have to pay more to save on calories. There's always the Treats Truck. Where are they today? Or the newest truck, Street Sweets (see above). Kee's Chocolates. Do they still have a shop inside the HSBC Bank on 5th and 40th? And then there's good old Mister Softee. 3 bucks. Tasti D-lite? $3.50. Crumbs cupcake? $2.95 for a smaller one. What to choose? Please help!
*Well if you must know, roasted asparagus, brussel sprouts, carrots, zucchini, cauliflower, a bit of spinach, some pasta, some rice noodles with veggies, 3 mini mozzarella balls. That's about it.
