Best Cupcake FixI admit it - cupcakes are a trend that I wholeheartedly buy into. In order to get the perfect amount of cake and icing, I break off half of the cake and put it on top of the icing then eat it like a sugar-injected sandwich. I couldn’t choose just one winner. These two cupcakes put Magnolia’s to shame:
Amy’s Bread 250 Bleeker St. (bet. Carmine & Leroy Sts.) 212-675-7802,
Chelsea Market 75 Ninth Ave. (bet. 15th and 16th Sts.) 212-462-4338, 672 Ninth Ave. (bet. 46th and 47th Sts.) 212-977-2670 (Devils food Valrhona chocolate cupcake)Sweet Melissa Patisserie 276 Court St. (btw. Butler & Douglass Sts.) Brooklyn 718-855-3410, 175 7th Ave (Btw. 1st & 2nd St.) Brooklyn. (Chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting) Best BurgerBurger joint at Le Parker Meridien Le Parker Meridien 119 W. 56Th St. (btw. 6th & 7th Aves.) 212-708-7414 Strangely out of place in Le Parker Meridian hotel, this college dive bar look alike, no-nonsense burger joint serves up hand-formed patties grilled to bovine perfection. Happily carry your basket of particularly crispy fries back to a booth and laugh at the people being overcharged for a T-bone steak at Seppi’s in the same hotel.
