Tucked away at 304 W4th Street between W12th and Bank Streets, this new edition to the West Village coffee scene stands in a glorious location. [...]

I may as well turn this blog into the Cupcake Crawl! Every place I visit seems to have these delicious morsels of goodness. I was hanging out on the East Side today when I got a craving for a cup of coffee and a cupcake. After checking out google maps, I found that there was [...]
