For Labour Day weekend, my family and I took a little road trip down to the Big Apple. What I was looking forward to while visiting New York City was a chance to relax, explore fun areas like Soho and Greenwich Village, and of course, shop! But I won't lie - I was most excited about the food we were going to eat!
First stop: Red Lobster in New Jersey
Apparently Red Lobster is THE place to be on Saturday night - there was a one-hour wait for a table. But a one-hour wait could not stop me from eating those cheese biscuits. If you've been to Red Lobster, then you know what I'm talking about.

Mesa Grill near Union Square
The next day, we were off to Mesa Grill in Manhattan to enjoy some of Chef Bobby Flay's Mexican food for brunch. Now, I've eaten my fair share of spicy foods before, but this was definitely the spiciest food I'd ever eaten. And it was fantastic!

Magnolia Bakery near Rockefeller Center
Feeling inspired by the SNL Digital Short, "Lazy Sunday," we stopped by Magnolia Bakery to pick up some of the cupcakes featured in the video. Hey, if Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell like those cupcakes enough to rap about them, they must be good!

So that was my mini food adventure in New York. Thanks for reading!
