I'm going to skip straight to the punch and introduce the Magnolia cupcake as the best cupcake I've ever tasted. Yes, ever. This little Bleeker Street cupcakery is so popular (and now I know why) that it limits cupcake purchases to 12 per customer. They first opened in 1996 at 401 Bleeker Street, on the corner of West 11th Street in the West Village, just around the corner from where I'm staying with my beautiful friend Zoe. Which, I might add, is also just a few doors down from Carrie's famous 'stoop' from SATC.
Their buttercream frosted cupcakes are so unbelievably melt in your mouth good, the line to get into the store goes all the way down the street. I ate two in one sitting, trying to calculate in my head whether the 60 or so blocks I'd walked all over town that day would somehow cancel it out. Then I just decided that this was New York City, with so much food to be discovered, and that I'm on holidays, and therefore so was any kind of healthful, sensible eating! I'm saving the diet for Sydney!You can taste them for yourself here:The Magnolia Bakery
