My dad and I have been stuck in New York City for over 24 hours. There is just a “little bit of snow.”
The good news? I had the best $14 mocha of my life and I don’t like coffee.
It’s the little things.

I am madly, passionately, inexplicably in love with food. Bacon makes me beam. Chocolate makes me shout from the rooftops with joy. Vegetables and I are the best of frenemies. My perfect world would include none of them.

Sorry to hear you’re stuck! I have friends supposed to fly from Boston to Hawaii today. yeah, so not happening. But I think it would be bearable with a drink like that

Well at least you got chocolate in some form out of being stranded. Hope you can leave soon, though!

Wow that is a bit steep, even for the BEST mocha. Sounds like you’re getting to spend lots of quality time with Dad How Sweet!

We had so much snow here in Colorado…my husband felt like putting GPS devices on both of us every time we took the trash out or went to mailbox in case we didn’t make it back to house and the snow plows needed to come find us.

I would hate being stuck somewhere. Kind of like I hate being stuck here in the hospital right now. Ready to go home! It gets boring here when baby B sleeps and sleeps.
And for the record – I would also hate to pay $14 for a mocha.
Reply
Kinda sucks that your stuck there!
At the same time, it makes me feel less guilty for not going to school there yesterday. I don’t think I would have made it back to jersey!
And $14?!
It better have been good!!
Reply
was there vodka in that mocha?
Reply
When the page loaded, I literally went “ooohhh!!”. That mocha looks GOOD!! Maybe even worth fourteen dollars?? Definitely possible :)

Is that from Cafe Grumpy?

It’s the little (expensive) things… :) Seriously, soo much snow!
Reply
i’m so jealous, all i want in the world right now is coffee. and to be stranded in new york city :)
Reply
I’d hope that for $14 you get the best mocha ever! :-P
Reply
14 dollar mocha?!? Did it have gold foam?! :-)
Reply
thats one beautiful mocha!! it better be for that price! LOL
Reply
Hope your dad paid for that one! :)
Reply
Where did you get that mocha? I hope it was from somewhere wonderful like Jacques Torres or Chocolate by the Bald Man!
Reply
Oh my! I got stranded in NYC in the snow last winter! Hope you enjoy your extended stay! :)
Reply
I am a coffee freak, I would gladly pay $14 for a mocha…however, I don’t buy Oreos unless they are on sale. Priorities?
Safe travels.

I was stuck in Charlotte for two days, all by my lonesome so I FEEL your pain! I just got home today, thank freakin’ goodness!
Reply
For $14 bucks I’d expect that “mocha” to take me to dinner and a movie too.
Reply
I hope you get unstranded soon! That does look delicious though!! And there are worse places to be stuck that New York, eh?
Reply
That looks so yummy! You can stop by CT if you want…although I am no fun these days as all I can do is sit and huff and puff that I’ve so over this pregnancy. But any other time – I swear I’m a ton of fun!
Reply
I’d gladly trade spots with you! :)

Instead I’m stranded at home in my own snowpocalypse here in NS, with a chai latte. My own version I suppose haha
Reply
I guess if you could be stuck anywhere, NY would be the place to be.
Reply
A $14 mocha??! I can’t even imagine how good that must have been. I’m so jealous right now.
Hope you get out soon – travel delays make me so crazy, hang in there!
Reply
It better have been foodgasmic for 14$, man alive!
Reply
That drink looks yummy! Do you need restaurant tips?
Reply
Boo for being stranded! Hooray for latte art!
Reply
Yah, just a tad bit of snow fell up here on the East Coast. ;-)
Hope you make it home safely!
Reply
That looks awesome for $14! You can’t put a price tag on love
Reply
sorry to hear you are stranded, it’s great when you have some coffee that is wonderful, I don’t prefer coffee at all but have had it some places that it’s fantastic!
Reply
Sorry to hear you’re stuck in NYC, but hopefully you’ll be able to get out soon!!!!! That $14 mocha looks delicious though. Glad you were able to find something good out of any annoying situation!
Reply
WOW!! $14.00 Mocha??? it has to be New York, we would not pay that here in the mid-west…I think, well maybe. I will say the presentation is amazing. Hope you make it home safe and sound!!
Reply
I hope you are able to travel soon. Be safe and have fun with your Dad!
