54 Prince St (Lafayette St.)Brought to you by a defector from the (in)famous Magnolia Bakery, here you will find a dizzying array of gaudily-frosted cakes and cupcakes and enough sugar to achieve nirvana.

184 Ninth Ave (West 21st Street)S'MAC (short for Sarita's Macaroni & Cheese) is another in the growing trend of vertical restaurants.
