It takes a Village

[aliveingotham]

This morning in the Village, on my way to the subway, I saw a little old lady tottering down the sidewalk, supported on the arm of a very tall, rather unattractive, and completely obvious transvestite who was wearing an unfortunate, brilliantly torquoise summer dress. I wonder where they were going?

The TV was Ghouliani escorting a prospective campaign contributor to the bank.

Hah! No, Giuliani would have been in something more season-appropriate.

LOL

The Lure.

Alas, closed. There's really only The Eagle now.

Shows how up on the scene *I* am (and how up on it *you* are).

Okay, totally off topic but I don't have your email address anymore and you may be the best person to ask:

Do you know of any bakeries in the city that might deliver a birthday cake (say, to a restaurant)?

[aliveingotham]

God, no clue. However, I do know that quite frequently restaurants are familiar with nearby bakeries that can fulfill such a request. I would check with the restaurant to see if they can recommend a bakery.

(You might also try William Greenberg Desserts, 212-861-1340, but I don't know whether they deliver.)

Any luck?

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

I looked at the Greenberg web site, and it seems like a strong possibility. I actually like the idea of little individual cakes or cupcakes, just because it would be something different. I take it you've had stuff from there, and it's good?

You raised a good point, by the way: Before I do anything, I should check with the restaurant. For all I know, they may have an attitude about having an outside cake and/or they may have a solution that's right in the neighborhood (Hell's Kitchen).

Thank you for concierging -- such a sweetie!
