Cavities

When I went to see the Yankees play at Yankee Stadium about a month and a half ago, this man was one of the many vendors traveling up and down the bleachers, selling snacks.  His ware was cotton candy.  His advertising scheme; "Cavities!!  Get your cavities here!!"

Oh Lolly, Lolly

Lollipops are ust kind of joyous.  Reminders of summer days skipping around the backyard with one of these massive rainbow ones...

Nom nom

I posted this photograph, taken in Little Italy on the same night as the previous two, on my facebook page, and my younger sister Julianna, who has a much better design eye than eye I do, and far superior photography skills to match it, commented on it.

And I quote, "om nom nom nom nom nom"

I took that to mean that I had done something right.

I love street vendors.  I think that they are generally fantastic.  Food off of a cart just has a certain appeal- you watch them toss your falafel on the hot plate, or pull that pretzel out of the murky water, or pour some hot sauce on your mango slices and your day gets significantly better.  But, when that street food is candy, life is just fantastic.  This seems to be a trend in New York City now- dessert and candy trucks and carts seem to be popping up everywhere.  Ice cream, particularly Mr. Softee has been around forever, but now it's cupcakes and waffles, and, here at Vinny's in Little Italy, cotton candy and nougat!  I actually bought myself a cannoli from another outdoor dessert stand.

I wanted one so badly.  I should have had one.

But then I would have had to take one from this lovely display..... and that would have been completely unacceptable.  It looked to pretty to mess up.
