Pilates class was the perfect excuse to schlep downtown and wander around my post break-up 'hood of the Lower East Side. I discovered that it's evolved as much as I have over the past four years. The young, hipster vibe was still there along with the Cake Shop across from my old bedroom window and my emergency spots for uncontrollable cases of single-itis: September Wine & Spirits and Babycakes Bakery.
Everyone from Facebookers to professional writers are plugged in at the Cocoa Bar where you can take advantage of free WiFi while indulging passionately in specialty chocolates and a complementary glass of wine, coffee or tea.
A cute little confection in itself, BabyCakes is a safe-haven for those with food sensitivities and an insatiable sweet tooth like myself.
