Made a trip to Magnolia Bakery's Columbus Circle location for an event I'm hosting. Before I left I decided to try a "Peanut Butter" cupcake - basically a peanut butter sandwich in cupcake form.
Our judgment: if you are a super peanut butter and jelly sandwich fan and can't get enough, go for it. Or feeling adventurous.
Good effort Magnolia, but I'll be sticking with your classic buttercream frostings and cupcakes for now.

Cupcake of the Week: Kyotofu
Kyotofu specializes in making vegan friendly desserts. This was a vegan meringue cupcake before it was quickly devoured. The almond meringue is very thick and creamy, but complements the lemon cake very well. Also the cake was very soft and it was about 2-3 lady-like bites before it was completely gone.
Make sure you have napkins within reach when eating.

Sunday Brunch: Buddha Bodai
Right across from the New Chinatown Arcade. |
My husband and I had several options lined up near the area, but due to the sudden heatwave we made a spontaneous decision to go to Buddha Bodai.
