One Christmas while I was in college my family went to New York City. On that trip I won second row tickets to Wicked which was just getting popular. Idina Menzel completely blew me away. I think I actually stopped breathing for a few minutes because I was so amazed by her. I will never forget that show.
It was a fantastic trip, but I have one regret. I missed out on Magnolia Bakery, and their banana...

And right in the middle of all that is a little shop with some of the creamiest ice cream I've ever had, and the best chocolate milk in all the land.
