Neil G.Neil Glassman: Arguably the best cupcakes in NYC. Macarons, eclairs, ice cream sandwiches, cakes and more to savor in cramped seating or take away. Order in advance if you plan to buy more than a handful.

MeliMeli: The creme brulee dough'ssant melts perfectly in your mouth, while the vanilla crepes cake is a mound of absolute fluff. A tasty bite with a casual feel. Always a long line, so be prepared to wait.

Bing R.Bing Reid: For cupcakes I love the chocolate with marshamallow kind of frosting, crepe cakes, and their interpretation of kouign amann - or King's Man sort of cupcake.
