Side Notes: 7 Days Until You Can Have Your Cake and Eat it Too!!!
O.K., O.K. --- you got me, this has nothing to do with being outside... this however does have to do with New York and I am convinced that there will be a direct correlation between your attendance at this event and overall your happiness.
Oh... and yea, its FREE!!!
Cupcake Camp NYC, "an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and eat cupcakes in an open environment." It is taking place next Friday, April 9th from 7:00pm - 9:30pm at Happy Ending, 302 Broome Street. Note this is a 21+ event as it is being held at a bar.You don't have to bake, remember for every dozen baked they need 11 more people to eat them, but bakers are always welcome.

Side Note: Lily has more facebook friends than you do! (Rainy Day Activity)
Yep, that's right Lily (a black bear) has over 94,000 facebook fans (myself included).
I originally started this blog because because I don't believe there are enough resources out there for people who want to get outside in New York City. But, I also started Outside in New York because I believe that the more people learn about the outside world the more the more they will want to protect our natural resources.... Well, while I am all for getting outside and learning first hand, I am not about to go crawling into a mother bear's den! So I can't think of a better way to learn about these fascinating creatures:
The NABC (www.bear.org) set up a webcam in the Lily’s den in Ely, Minnesota. She gave birth a few weeks ago and there was something of a baby bear pool going on over the date of her whelping (? not sure of the term for bears, going with the term for dogs) and how many cups she would have.
You can watch her and cubs here (link). I warn you it is VERY addictive but also incredibly cute. I love it when her cubs make noise; it is a completely fascinating sound, an odd mix between a dog's bark, horse's whinny, cow's moo and rodent's squeaking.
You can become her facebook fan here (link).
Additionally click (here) if you want to join the NABC and support their mission.
Happy Watching!

Side Note
Side Notes is a series I am starting where I will highlight events, deals or places of interest outside of the general Tri-State Area. I am not expecting to post Side Notes in regular intervals... just as I come across things of interest.
I have a friend, Cole, who is in the process of riding 3000 miles down the Eastern Coast in 30 days on his bike. His ride is 100% self supported (no easy feat) in order raise money and create awareness about the Haitian earthquake and the ongoing need for disaster relief.
Cole is currently in the middle of the second week of his four-week ride. He's had some bumps along the way but is doing very well so far. To learn more about his ride and follow him on his journey check out Ride for Haiti.
To Cole: Best wishes for a safe and fulfilling journey and Godspeed!
P.S. If you know of things that should be highlighted in Side Notes please e-mail them to me and I will be sure to get the word out.
