BY CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT 3 CANDIDATE LESLIE BOGHOSIAN MURPHY | Tuesday, April 27: I had so much fun doing a Sweets Tour of Chelsea! Every stop was one of my favorites, and I am so thankful to the owners for talking to me about their experiences over the past year. And while I was there, of course I sampled some of their signature goodies in-store, and got some to go. Below, find photos from my Sweets Tour stop that are good enough to eat.

STOP #1: CITY CAKES

STOP #2: BILLY’S BAKERY

In conclusion, I promise that as your City Council rep for District 3, I will fight for small businesses… and eat lots of sweets.
