My friend Sylvia was in town so we decided to go over to my favorite cupcake place, Butter Lane in the East Village, for a quick review of the shop. Everyone there was incredibly friendly and open to letting us tape inside their bakery on the coldest day of the year. Check out the video below!
In short: the Butter Lane cupcakes are the best in New York. At least since I’ve been here, that is. The cake itself is great, you can choose the frosting (which isn’t too sweet) and I love the idea of endless possibilities. I’m sure there’s some permutation that you can share with me to fill me in that the possibilities are not actually endless but let me dream my dream here. If you think there’s a better place, let me know and we can go review it. But until then enjoy this video from Sylvia and me to you.
That was adorable, really. Can I say that everyone in that video is eyebrow-licious? I mean, everyone raises their eyebrows a lot–you, sylvia, and random butter lane dude. Also, I’m sure they ship out of state and am eagerly expecting some in the mail. Thank you.
Haha! You’re so right. We ARE very eyebrow-expressive. And, I don’t know if they ship out of state. I’ll check into that. Any combo in particular?
You two are so cute and really jealous that I was not there to join in on all the fun. Thanks bibi for letting me know about your big debut. But either way cute video and next time I want in.
Sapana, that was awesome..now I want to try that place the next time I’m in NYC. On a side note, I have the same coat as Sylvia.
This is so cute! You and your friend have the exact same voice! Next time I’m in NYC, I’m making you take me here.
I haven’t had sweets in a month (gave them up for Lent) so this was even more appealing! I love the make your combo approach. I haven’t been to Butter Lane but when I lived in NYC, I loved Sugar Sweet Sunshine on the LES. Not build your own but their cupcakes are still darn delicious.
Oh, good tip! I haven’t been to Sugar Sweet Sunshine yet! Maybe that’ll be my next review…
