There is any chance to travel to New York City and not to try one of the millions delights here? Some of them are already classics, like the hot dogs from the trucks on the streets and the cupcakes from Mgnolia Bakery.But, people here are very creative – specially when it comes to sweets. I showed a lot of these new delicious items on my Instagram profile lately – follow me to see daily New York City tips and news – and I thought that would be interesting put everything together in a post here.
