How can I resist? The collections of The Lower East Side Tenement Museum (definitely worth a visit in NYC!) house an early local candy wrapper discovered in the ongoing excavation of the museum's backyard/privy. Wonderful packaging for these early Trumps Caramels. Just wish I could taste-test, a bit stale or no...

Wish List: Ben & Jerry's Bonnaroo Buzz
courtesy bonnaroo.comThough I rarely venture into ice cream terrain, the new Bonnaroo Buzz flavor from Ben & Jerry's is too exciting to ignore. It must be tracked down, and stat. Go Ben and Go Jerry for continuing to develop the most compelling and thrilling ice cream flavors! Coffee and malt ice cream with whiskey caramel swirls and english toffee pieces sounds like a mixture beyond sublime. Want and need. Thanks for the heads up, Adam!

German McDonald's Match Neighborhood Flavor Profiles to Cupcakes. Eh.
photo courtesy mcdonalds.deThere's almost no sweet I love as much as a well-crafted cupcake. A miniature cake all my own with the "correct" ratio of tons of frosting to very little actual cake. But with the saturation of cupcake specialists across New York City complete, even I'm a little over all this hoopla. A few cupcake specialists would suffice. Do we really want to become The Cupcake City? To underscore my belief, German McDonald's have marketed a line of cupcake treats that associate Manhattan with the baked good. There are four cupcake flavors, each (inadequately) "matched" to the personality of a different NYC neighborhood. Check out the descriptions through grubstreet or burgerbusiness, and even if you don't read German take a gander at the homepage displaying renderings of people meant to symbolize each neighborhood's flavor. A guy from Chelsea in baggy jeans and a button down plaid shirt? Really!? Chocolate is the essence of Chelsea? Central Park is Strawberry? Coffee for the Lower East Side? I will agree that Soho is Vanilla these days...

Buy a Junior's Cheesecake Styled By Isaac Mizrahi
I'm a big fan of Junior's Cheesecake. I'm pretty fond of Isaac Mizrahi, too, as well as his affection for everything plaid. In what alternate universe was this project was conceived? Selling plaid cheesecakes on QVC? The idea of allowing my belly to outgrow my current jeans in the name of fashion is exciting. Junior's ships their cheesecakes fresh worldwide so freshness shouldn't be a problem. I simply don't equate QVC with baked goods, but perhaps it will take Mizrahi's madras stylings to get me on board. Seriouseats explores the plaid confections on a deeper level. And if you'd like to purchase one of these hefty treats for $44, head straight to the source.
