I Missed the Sweetest Memo.

Apparently New York is cupcake town. As I've been walking around, reacquainting myself with the neighborhood, I began to see them. Cupcake shops, like Starbucks, only not selling coffee, and not on every corner, and not Uber-corporate. Actually, it's nothing like Starbucks.

Anywho, I have ventured into one such establishment twice thus far. Crumbs, located on 3rd Ave and 77th, is filled with cupped cake confections based on popular Hostess and Drakes Cakes flavors. I started with the Devil Dog variety.

It was a disappointment, though pretty to look at. The cake was bland and the creme...well...bland too. But maybe I picked the wrong flavor?

This time, I got the Oreo variety. On first whiff, I was psyched...but two bites in....hurl central.

I'm gonna keep trying, but I think I'll work my own neighborhood for a while. Walk the beat. Work off the previous two cupcakes. Chase it with some Yoo-Hoo.
