Magnolia Bakery

Walking north on Bleecker Street, the crowds die down in this quieter area of the West Village. But as soon as you see a line wrapping around a corner shop, you know you've hit Magnolia. Buy a half-dozen cupcakes (because you just have to try all the flavors) or the addictive banana pudding, and head down Perry Street to have a total Carrie Bradshaw moment in front of her apartment.
