I’d like to think I am pretty well educated in many aspects of the culinary world that is New York.  It’s important to me to share this vast knowledge with the rest of the world because I shouldn’t be the one having all the fun!  For instance, I’ve travelled the city looking for the “Best” Cupcakes.

In order to be well informed, you must take into account a number of various aspects of your dining experience.  Personally, I feel that there are four major components that can put a place in the “best” or “worst” category.  These include, food taste, atmosphere, cleanliness, and customer service.  Most places will fall into a category somewhere in the middle, because in order to achieve a “best” review, all four of these key factors must be directly on point.  So, without further adieu, I present to you my “Best” cupcakes in New York (specifically Manhattan).

*please keep in mind that this list is in no particular order*
