Two Little Red Hens
New York City is a melting pot of bakeries. Italian cookies and French croissants abound, but what if you want old-fashioned red velvet cupcakes, an apple pie or a sticky bun? That’s where Two Little Red Hens steps in. This American bakery concocts over 100 delectable homemade faves from scratch. Owner and baker connoisseur Christina Winkler opened this gem 5 and a half years ago, but has been at home in the kitchen since she was a little girl, watching her grandmother and great-grandmother pull perfect pies out of their oven on a farm in Iowa. “The feel, the touch, the hand, the ability to actually make the product comes not just from a gift that you’re given, but from hours of watching someone else doing it the right way,” says Winkler, who certainly has a special knack for baked goods. The specialty birthday cakes are guaranteed to please, but we would devour the red velvet cake for any occasion.

Sammy’s Roumanian Steakhouse
They say the third time’s a charm, and nothing could be truer for the Lower East Side steakhouse Sammy’s Roumanian - the third Roumanian-Jewish restaurant to occupy the same address. Fate dealt New York a lucky hand when Stan Zimmerman won this modern-day institution in a poker game from Sammy himself in 1975.
The Soda Shop
Trying to keep up in the city that never sleeps can often feel like taking two steps forward and one step back. If you find yourself doing the latter, there’s no better place to step back into than The Soda Shop – where old-fashioned dining and décor meet modern tastes.

Their Brooklyn Blackout cupcake is probably the best cupcake ever confected.
