Winston Visits NYC

Greetings from Winston, the Picky Peacock at Villa Woodbine.  I want you to know that I could live near any caterer, but that Bill Hansen is the best!  Anyway, you know that I’ve struggled with finding a peahen to provide me with love and companionship....and since there’s no such thing as www.pdate.com for peacocks, I decided to wing up to the Big Apple for the weekend.

I overheard Bill talking about this new cupcake shop in Manhattan called the Red Velvet Lounge where they serve cupcakes laced with booze, as well as cupcake pairings with various types of alcoholic drinks.  That sounded like a great place to perch…..and it was.  The cupcakes were fab, but I oveindulged, and combining the sweets with the alcohol I must admit that I felt a little wobbly in the morning, and my flight time back to Miami took longer since I was carrying a couple of extra pounds from the cupcakes.

I did learn that the lower East Side of Manhattan is not the best place to look for available peahens, but I saw a couple of pigeons that acted a little interested.  They promised me they would write and visit next winter.

Oh, Bill did mention that if you’re interested in learning more about the Red Velvet Lounge go to this link…they do not have a web site as of yet.
