Try the semolina Italian bread for only $1.50

One of their many cakes for $2 each. I recommend one of everything they have behind the counter.

These are hands down the best cupcakes in New York. They have so many flavors but I love the simple chocolate frosting with yellow cake. Typical NY prices and usually have long lines during holidays. Good stuff!

This small bakery is another great example of why Greenpoint is one of the best places for delicious Eastern European style desserts. My wife, who is Polish and knows her desserts, brought me in here and picked up one of their signature cakes. It is…More »

Top Restaurants (11) Some of my favorite dining destinations in the city.	Pizza places that I enjoy, and so should you. (14) They say that pizza is like sex...I disagree...pizza is cheaper to obtain. On to my list:
My Neighborhood (7) My local dry cleaner, watering hole, deli, cafe, etc.	Born to Shop (5) It's not easy looking this good!
Top NY Diners list (5) Whether it is a gyro at 3am or breakfast at 6pm...a NY diner is greatness in a tacky setting. So check out a few of the local diners in the NY area:	Best Ballrooms (4) I don't think Yelp has a best of ballrooms list...so here ya go:
Oh Yelp Canada! (32) This is a list of places to see,stay at and eat in, when you visit Toronto and Montreal!	4 Bagels you need to taste (4) I love a boiled and baked treat just like the next guy. But New York definitely owns when it comes to making a mean bagel. I have had bagels in all 5 boroughs and Long Island. But these four places are still my favorites. One of them even delivers overnight to anywhere in the U.S., nice! Don't be afraid to leave the Island of Manhattan. Check out Brooklyn, Broad Channel and The Rockaways for some goodness with sesame, poppy or everything on it.
