Broadway + Treats = A Delightful Lunch Break

Yesterday, McKenna, Doug and I ventured off to Bryant Park to enjoy the free summer series: Broadway in Bryant Park.

Can’t Pronounce it, But Love Choux Factory

After eating breakfast last weekend, the boyfriend and I decided to take a leisurely stroll up 1st ave.  We came across a sign for hot chocolate made with milk, and as hot chocolate fans, decided to stop in for a quick cup.  And that’s how we stumbled across delicious little cream puffs at Choux Factory.
