I have a serious sweet tooth. This means that I have a serious love for all things sweet: cookies, cupcakes, ice cream, donuts, cupcakes, candy... you name it, I probably want to eat it. Of course, New York is a dream destination for any foodie out there - especially if you have a craving for sweet treats like me. Based on what I've seen on various social media accounts (lots of credit goes to all the food Instagrams that I follow), I have compiled a bucket list of sweet treats to try while in NYC. I've had to narrow it down quite a bit, so trust me when I say that I know that there will always be plenty more out there!
