I never realized until I landed here this afternoon... Apple Stores are really the Internet cafes of our day. I mean, look at me, I have a Mac, I have an iPod and I have one of those phones just like everyone else.
You see my phone's battery doesn't…More »
2. Cupcake Stop at Limelight Marketplace - CLOSED
Baked By Melissa you have some competition but nothing that would stop me from going to both of you!
Cupcake Stop is light years away from Baked By Melissa in cupcake style and that's a good thing. Where Baked By Melissa bites are like delicious…More »

Well worth the walk on busy 14th Street as these are some of the tastiest cupcakes I have ever had in my life.

For what it's worth Yaffa Cafe is another one of those places that falls under the "you can't screw up breakfast" category.
Simple breakfast choices - Eggs Benedict, granola, pancakes, etc - all served with descent service and strong coffee.
Bonus…More »
10. Cupcake Stop Truck
Oh yeah! After getting off the train my eyes were wide open when they came upon the Cupcake Stop Truck. It didn't matter that we just had breakfast and were nowhere near hungry. When you see one of NY's best cupcakes dealers, you open up your pie…More »

Walk in to the brewery, turn left and head to the bar before you grab a…More »
12. Crumbs
NY's biggest cupcake dealer wins in my book this trip due to great customer service... This location closes at 10pm so when we walked up at 9:59, I was sure we weren't getting any Crumbs tonight, that is until the manager gave us a wave to come in.…More »
13. Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery
While the cupcake playing field is filled with $3.50 or more cupcakes and Baked By Melissa is selling one bites for a buck each, a normal size $1.50 cupcake from Sugar Sweet Sunshine might raise an eyebrow on the how good it really could be scale.…More »

Mexican
Neighbourhoods: East Village, Alphabet City
Certified as an authentic Mexican restaurant by the state of Mexico must be a big deal because this place does Mexican right.
Love the tacos - chicken (a bit spicy) & the steak sprinkled with cilantro and onions on top both served on a corn tortilla.…More »

Heard this is one of those "you cant get in there ever" restaurants but that didn't stop us on a Friday mid morning for a late breakfast. Glad we did - it was empty!
Service was impeccable - highly attentive and there before you needed them.

Desserts

No sure why the low stars here as this is one of the few cupcake places I know that uses 100% organic eggs, flour, milk and sugar in everything they make. On top of that, all of their plastic products including the cupcake wrapper are biodegradable.…More »

The grand daddy of all NYC cupcake shops with it's extensive menu of 87 different kinds - Crumbs is the one to beat.

Neighbourhoods: Union Square, Flatiron
Let it be known we came here solely based on their logo as the reviews would have had us going elsewhere. Not the most amazing steak I have ever had but a pretty descent one so no complaints here. As for the frites, be sure to get them and be ready…More »
21. Butter Lane
Sorry to say I love the idea of what you are doing Butter Lane but your cake falls so short of the mark that your excellent frosting cant make up for it. Such a shame....
You pick your cake - vanilla, chocolate or banana - and then get to choose from…More »

Burgers

A lot of hype for a burger and service that were second rate at best. Sure they offer lots of varieties and a good selection of regional beers but crappy service and small over priced portions are nothing to write home about.

How You Bean? (coffee and cafes) (68)When I was between jobs & I needed health insurance there was one coffee shop that gave it to their part timers... it was there at Starbucks where my love for coffee began...Maybe it was the two weeks of coffee college they make you attend? Maybe it was all the early morning before we opened espresso shots? Maybe it was the late night, we're closed, let's see what's not on the menu that we can make that will be good? |

Key West - Where and What To Do... (6)Just a few suggestions on what to do and where to do it on the "tiny" island of Key West. |
I need it QUICKLY! (4)Ahh, Quickly! So San Francisco that you're on every corner and that big green coffee company should start to watch out! I'm going check out as many of your locations as I can since they are all independently owned. Which one is the best? Which ones arent really that clean? Who has the best service and who wants your money but wants you out right away? We shall see.... Enjoy! |
Fro Yo Yo Yo... (10)Frozen yogurt (also known as frozen yoghurt or by the tradenames Froyo and Frogurt) is a frozen dessert made from, or containing yogurt or other dairy products. It is slightly more tart than ice cream, as well as lower in fat (due to the use of pure milk instead of cream). It differs from ice milk (more recently termed low-fat or light ice cream), which does not include yogurt as an ingredient. (From Wikipedia)Or something very delicious that comes in many flavors and now you can find on any corner in SF. The best stores are self serve and have more toppings to choose from then your cup will hold. (From MarcA) |
