East Coast Shakin: ManhattanQuake 2011

In case you missed it, Manhattan felt a very small earthquake, and Twitter exploded with excitement. Carole King feels oh-so appropriate today. Readers, did you feel the quake?

Obsession of the Moment: Baked by Melissa

From a girls night in to a mid-afternoon snack at work, Baked by Melissa has been on my radar several times this week. The bakery's bite-sized cupcakes come in a variety of flavors and are seriously addicting. That "betcha can't eat just one" tag line? It definitely applies to these quarter-sized confections. In my experience, the crowd favorite is red velvet with cream cheese icing, but I can't get enough of the s'mores (chocolate cake with a graham cracker stuffing, chocolate icing and a marshmallow topping). Priced at $1 a piece, these tiny treats are well-within my intern budget.

Baked by Melissa has stores in Soho, Union Square, Grand Central and the Fashion District. Readers outside of Manhattan? Don't fret. Order online and you can get your sugar rush delivered.

If I can make it there I'll make it anywhere: New York, New York

I know I've been a little MIA recently here on Style of a 20 Something, but I promise I have several good reasons. Not only did I graduate NYU's Summer Publishing institute, but I also found an apartment and a job! Well okay, a paid internship, but hey, it's a start.

Any tips on how to be a newbie New Yorker?
