Going to New York and not trying at least one noteworthy cupcake is something you can't do. We recommend three places where you can taste unique sweets, including of course the classic Magnolia.
If you are in Manhattan, New York, in these winter days and you want to take a delightful little break between one museum and another, here is the solution for you: three sweet addresses where you can shelter from the bitter cold of the city streets.
Magnolia Bakery
The pastry most famous of the city it's one of the places I always see me coming back to when I visit the Big Apple. His famous cupcakes are a delight for the eyes and palate, don't miss the Red Velvet with vanilla cream, the chocolate and peanut butter ones or the refreshing Lemon cupcakes.
Excellent place for breakfast or for a quick sweet to take away, it also offers a wide selection of cakes, pastries and biscuits, to be accompanied with a good hot tea or a chocolate. The address? In Manhattan there are 5 of them: 401 Bleecker Street (at the corner with W11th St.); 200 Columbus Ave (at the corner of 69th St.); at Rockefeller Center at 1240 Avenue of the Americas (corner of 49th and 6th Ave); Bloomingdale's at 1000 Third Ave (between 59th and 60th) and Grand Central Station, on the lower level in the Dining Course.
M & M's World
The store of the funniest chocolates on the market is located in full Times Square. Walking through the streets of the city you will observe how much these 3 floors of shop dedicated entirely to the funny chocolate characters are frequented daily, you cannot fail to notice the children who go around with the colored puppets and the recognizable yellow bags of the shop. Drop in and go up on the 2nd and 3rd floor where the two are M & M's Wall: the rainbow colored walls where the chocolate dispensers are installed, divided by color and type. But where is the beauty? You will choose how many to take and what color!
The personalization service is also interesting, to get them even more tailored. I assure you, you won't be able to resist taking home a bag full of colorful and delicious M & M's. Here is the address: 1600 Broadway, open daily from 10.00am to midnight.
Cake's Boss Cafe
Recently opened, the cafe of the pastry chef of Italian origins Buddy Valastro was born to be able to offer New Yorkers a shop without having to go to Hoboken, home to the main pastry shop, where they often wait 6 hours to be able to win its delicacies. Here too you will find cakes, cupcakes, pastries and biscuits for all tastes. The new venue is located in Times Square, at Discovery Times Square at 226 W 44th St.
