A friend in New York recently submitted this photo of a pink store fronted Korean gift store called Valentine. The store, located in Flushing (surprise, surprise),sells cutesy Korean gifts and loads of Hello Kitty goods. I personally haven’t been, but I believe it — just look at the window! See something familiar? More »

A New York-based user recently submitted these pictures of super cute dessert from a Chinese bakery in Flushing. From what I remember of Flushing when I was there earlier this year, there are a lot of bakeries with cute desserts. These pictures definitely are reminding me of New York: More »

And finally, ‘Spotted in New York’ pics that I actually took myself. If you can remember, last month I was in New York City to cover fashion week for OMGHaute. As hectic as fashion week was, I managed some time to myself to check out other boroughs of New York City. Originally in Flushing to have dinner, I happened upon a Chinese bakery that had a lot of cute cakes, cupcakes and pretty much anything that adds to my ever-expanding belly. More »

Seems somebunny in New York is a chocolate lover. A user submitted these super cute mini chocolate cups from Li-Lac Chocolates. Again I ask, why can’t California, namely the sad location in Orange County that I live in, have chocolate shops that sell cute chocolate goods with mini bunnies, flowers, carrots and Easter eggs on them? It’s not like people here don’t like chocolate. More »

You know how it’s typical of me to feature delicious user-submitted dessert pictures from New York City followed by me wishing I was in New York City? This time around, things are different. I’m actually in New York City this week to cover fashion week on behalf of our latest sister fashion site, OMGHaute. With confidence I can say that the previous pictures never did any justice to what’s here and that, man — there’s a lot of great dessert to eat! More »

I’m convinced that New York’s Grand Central Station is heaven on Earth just because of the cute dessert pictures I keep receiving. I know I’ve only been once before, but every picture makes me feel like I’m this much closer to heaven. Where I’m living now in Sunny California is kind of hell…I’m far away from bakeries or anything resembling a shop selling baked goods. Something about Californians being health-concious n’ shit. If you’re in New York, I’m jealous of you. More »

Anyone have friends who you’re convinced their goal in life is to make you feel jealous and/or hungry? I have one such friend living in New York and it’s been a goal of his to make me suffer over the fact that I live in a place devoid of New York bakeries selling cute, delicious baked goods. Often, he likes to send pictures of all the baked goods he comes across. I’m secretly thinking he’s jealous of the fact that I exist in temperatures above 70°F. More »

Of all beauty parlors I have ever set foot in or seen pictures of, Michael Angelo’s Wonderland Beauty Parlor in New York City really sets itself apart as being literally, a wonderland. Looking at these submitted photos, you kind of wonder if you’re looking at somewhere Alice in Wonderland would go to get her hair did or basically anywhere out of a fairytale story. According to Yelp.com it’s thisclose to getting 5 stars from just 21 reviews. If you’re familiar with Yelp, you’ll know that it is pretty epic. More »

Given these past weeks of blogging all the most interesting, cute-spiring things found in New York, I realized that I had to see this all for myself. That and, I was invited to the Mixr Christmas party in New York, so I kind of had to go. Being also a genius, I left my camera behind during my stay this weekend and could only rely on a colleague’s camera phone. I guess you can say I’m more in love with New York than I was before? It only takes a gingerbread house in Times Square and Bergdorf Goodman window displays to affirm this. More »

And yet another reason has been made known to me why New York City is so much cooler than where I live now. Apparently, retailers spend tons of money on store displays and it’s quite the big deal there. In Southern California, window displays are more of an afterthought. This is largely because walking is deemed a highly offensive crime. Well, not really — people spend more time in their cars than anything else. Thus, the window displays of most stores in Southern California aren’t as decadently cute as the one pictured. More »
