Things that make you go YUM!

Ahh weekends! They give us the chance to explore this awesome new city of ours! We decided on Saturday to take the light rail up to Hoboken. It was literally just a quick 10 minute trip and we were on our way! We had two objectives for the day - eat sushi and go to Carlo's Bakery. Rough afternoon, huh?

Well, after strolling just a few blocks from the train station we found the place that John's co-worker had recommended - Sushi Lounge. I was so excited to be in there because I hadn't eaten sushi for months! Well it totally exceeded my expectations - it was so good! We will definitely be stopping back again soon to try other sushi rolls on their large menu. And of course when my sister is in town this may be a necessary stop!

Next up -- the bakery! Okay for all of you TLC junkies out there, you have to be familiar with Carlo's Bakery, right? It is the bakery that is featured on Cake Boss. It's a big Italian family that runs it and it's located in the heart of Hoboken. Well, we knew we were getting closer when we spotted THE LINE. Not just any line. A 2-1/2 hour wait line!

After deciding the best cannoli or cake in the world is not worth a 2-1/2 hour wait (at least not today) we kept walking and checking out the sites in Hoboken.

As luck would have it (lucky for me, not for my waistline) we came across Crumbs Bake Shop. And can I tell you how amazing this place was? Well, I'll just let the photos speak for themselves:

And I must say, if there was ever any doubt I had a sweets-loving husband (which there shouldn't be). This man ordered the Fudge Chocolate Chip cupcake. The lady at the countered asked if he wanted milk, and he smartly said yes. But then we go to check out and he swaps his milk for HOT CHOCOLATE! I mean I love chocolate and all but a chocolate fudge cupcake with hot chocolate? Yum?!?
