Exploring the streets of New York City is one of my favorite things to do. Looking for new discoveries or going to recommended ones, I never stop. This is not a traditional food blog. I don't focus on restaurant reviews, or cooking tips; but I find specific items that you absolutely must try. Whether it be a cranberry donut or the best cappuccino. The focus isn't on the usual, but the cheap, the best, and the hidden.
I am always looking for new places to go! Send me a tweet, or leave me a tip of your favorite place or find in the comments!

I know what everyone is thinking. Cupcakes? More cupcakes? Settle down everyone, I wouldn’t do this unless it was something you really needed to know about. And it is. This is one of those places that you instantly overlook, and assume is tourist fueling station. Like me, you’re completely wrong. The little kiosk on Prince street just off Broadway is harboring not only some of the best, but most creative and unique cupcakes available. Ever heard of cool runnings? (not the movie) Filled with mango amoretto mousse and topped with peach amaretto whipped cream and fresh mango. What about the big easy? Pecan pie cupcake filled with vanilla mousse and topped with vanilla icing and crushed pecans. Are they good? Amazing. Each flavor had its own specific texture from moist, to chewy, and creamy. The creamy topping, the luscious cake, and the decadent filling created a sweet trifecta that is rarely seen on a cupcake. This is not the only place to get these cupcakes, as they can even be ordered online. The cart gets a shipment Fridays around noon, so stop by then. Each cupcakes is $3 dollars and some change.
Another creamy and moist treat, discovered.
Tip: Cash only!
Tip: Bring friends so you can try more than one flavor, because you will not be able to choose. Seriously.
