Road Trip - The Best Of Philadelphia

Want to venture out of New York City for a quick getaway but don't quite have the funds? Bolt Bus may be the answer to your end of the summer blues.  A round trip ticket to Philadelphia is only $27 (that's $13 per way).  Just think of all the10 minute cab rides you have spent that cost more than a 2 hour bus ride to another state.  Below are two restaurants in Philly that are worth the trek.

Molly's Cupcakes

THE VERY BEST CUPCAKES IN NEW YORK CITY

MADE FROM SCRATCH DAILY

Molly's Cupcakes are truly for the young and the young at heart.  Owner John Nicolaides named the cupcake shop after his third-grade teacher Molly, who would bake her students phenomenal homemade chocolate and vanilla cupcakes on their birthday.  Nicolaides's mission is to honor his idolized teacher and a portion of all the profits are donated directly to schools in the community.  The cozy storefront feels as though you are in a retro elementary school classroom with small desks, wooden swing seats and best of all, the shelves are filled with old school games like connect four, jenga and scrabble. Magnolia Cupcakes are no comparison to Molly's Cupcakes.  Why? Lauren Shockey from The Village Voice comically writes "1. There are no Sex and the City tours. 2. There's seating. 3. There are multiple flavor options. 4. Board games!" Move over Magnolia, there is a new "M" bakery in town. Also featured on...
