Word on the Street

Say what? Magnolia Bakery to open a 3rd location near Rockefeller Center? Say it isn't so.

The latest Word on the Street is that Sex & the City's favorite cupcake shop is slated to open on 49th Street and 6th Avenue before the end of the year.

Magnolia verses Buttercup

No, this is not an introduction to Strawberry Shortcake’s new movie. Magnolia Bakery, the West Village cupcake hot spot known for its butter-cream and crumbly creations has opened a second café on the Upper West Side. Already in operation, Magnolia has become somewhat of a cupcake phenomenon, selling out of their confectionary concoctions in their first days of operation.

Didn’t get enough sugary sweets? Hit up the nearby and equally popular Buttercup Bake Shop, Crumbs, or Bouchon Bakery, and see for yourself who takes the cake.
