My favorite thing to do is go into NYC and try all of the instagram famous desserts. My best friend and I share a food instagram (shout out @welive4food) and definitely get excited when we find out about a new place to try. Here is a list of some of the best places we have been to:

1. Black Tap Meatpacking

Black Tap is created for the Instagram world. While they definitely have juicy burgers, you’re definitely going to want to try out their “crazy shakes” and make sure to take a picture!

2. Max Brenner

Max Brenner is chocolate heaven. Chocolate is incorporated into every meal, whether you’re getting fries with cocoa powder dusted on top or going straight for the chocolate syringe, there’s no way a chocolate lover will be disappointed.

3. Baked by Melissa

Baked by Melissa is known for their bite sized cupcakes that come in an array of flavors. They have a new flavor every month but don’t forget about the classics like rainbow!

4. Jars By Dani

These handmade cakes in a mason jar are sure to make any dessert lover happy, between the layers of mousse, cake, sprinkles, and brownie there’s bound to be something for everyone.

5. Sugar Factory

Known for their gigantic goblet drinks, Sugar Factory has attracted many celebrities to come try their restaurant. If the drink menu wasn’t sweet enough, be sure to check out the candy shop in the front of the restaurant for a sweeter experience.

6. Magnolia Bakery

Magnolia is a classic bakery with a beautiful cupcake display. Many people love the banana pudding but I always go for the cupcakes with the light pink frosting.

7. Sugarfina

This candy boutique has the classiest candy around. Packaged in lucite boxes, Sugarfina is most known for their champagne gummy bears.

8. Momofuku Milk Bar

Momofuku is known for the birthday cake truffles, cereal milk ice cream and their crack pie. The bakery even paired up with model Karlie Kloss to sell her Kookies!

9. Big Gay Ice Cream Shop

Big Gay Ice Cream started as an ice cream truck with sarcastic flavors and finally opened as a shop 2 years after their seasonal truck opened. They’re known for their flavor “the salty pimp”

10. Dominique Ansel Bakery

Dominique Ansel was ranked as the number one pastry chef in the world. He’s known for the cronut, cookie shot, frozen s’more and blossoming hot chocolate!

Once you have tried these sweets, post a picture and tag #welive4food so we can see what you enjoyed!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Don't Be That Person

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
