OCCUPY WALL STREET
So a couple of days ago (two weeks to be exact) I had a long day and was craving a cup cake from Billy's Bakery, which you must visit if you are ever in the city. I swear the air has to have like a GAzillion calories by itself (I have NEVER smelled anything so creamy, sweet, and rich-so you can only imagine what the cup cakes taste like).
Anyways, as I mentioned it was the end of the day, and so was off in my own little world moseying up from Center Street when I saw...A CROWD coming at me screaming "DOWN WITH WALL STREET" and (one of their more clever chants, at least in my opinion) "THEY GOT BAILED OUT, WE GOT SOLD OUT!" I did not know whether to be more terrified for my life or fascinated by all the action. Of course my stupendous survival skills kicked in, and I decided to join the march to see what all the commotion was about and where they were going.
I was not able to make it very far due to the density of the crowd. Thanks to these neo-hippie wannabe rebels, I was forced to find an alternative way home since I physically could not make my way down the sidewalk to my regular subway stop. Welcome to New York City...and to think, all I wanted was a cup cake.
