Sprinkles: A Review

August 5, 2013 by anc49

Sprinkles: my favorite cupcakes in Georgetown. Once I located a Manhattan Sprinkles on Yelp, I was so overcome with granulated sugar-ridden memories from D.C. that I walked right over. Delighted as per usual, I took my sweet (ha ha) time to choose a cupcake flavor. Eventually, I listened to the petite angel on my left shoulder and found a happy medium: a mini cupcake. After that laborious decision process, I finally chose strawberry cake with strawberry frosting for two reasons. […]

Two Little Red Hens Bakery: A Review

August 4, 2013 by anc49

While researching the best cupcake eateries in Manhattan, I discovered Two Little Red Hens Bakery. As I always do, I put it on my running to-do list of places to sample. One day while strolling in the Upper East Side, I realized that I was right by Two Little Red Hens. I walked right in and had the best cupcake in the city to date. Name: Two Little Red Hens Location: 1652 2nd Ave Time: 2 pm Order: Mini vanilla […]

Wild Ginger: A Review

August 1, 2013 by anc49

One day I had an epiphany: Wild Ginger is literally a block away from my apartment and on the list of my editor’s vegetarian recommendations. Talk about a coincidence of cuisine! Okay, that was cheesy. But I was in a pinch and wanted to try something new. So I hopped over and picked up the all-vegan Thai menu. After mulling it over quickly, I made my choices. Luckily, the woman who helped me was kind enough to accept my Amex […]

Sarabeth’s: A Review

July 31, 2013 by anc49

Oh, Sarabeth’s. You were my first Manhattan love affair when I discovered you three years ago. During my first visit to the city, my family and I ate brunch at Sarabeth’s, per a recommendation. Back when I was a carnivore, I sampled the applewood-smoked bacon, eggs benedict, muffins, four flowers juice (best juice ever), gruyère omelette and pumpkin waffles. To save you some time, I’ll say flat out that everything was absurdly scrumptious and delectable. So naturally, I brought my […]

Café Lalo: A Review

July 30, 2013 by anc49

So this is love. Café Lalo is everything. I first heard about it from my best friend when she told me that it’s the cafe in You’ve Got Mail, one of my favorites. A few days before going, I watched the movie again and fell in love with the cafe. I was enamored by its whimsical décor, enchanting lights and decadent cakes on display. Little did I know that going to the actual place would change my life. Before I praise […]

Artichoke Pizza: A Review

July 29, 2013 by anc49

So I must confess that this was my second time at Artichoke Pizza. While reading about the best bites in NYC, I discovered Artichoke. Given my penchant for pizza, I knew I had to give it a try. Last month I went for dinner for the first time with another friend; my hunger and its deliciousness led me to eat an entire slice in one sitting. I loved it! Naturally, when my best friend came to visit me I dragged […]
