Sweet Revenge â€“ Plate 73

by Hagan on January 25, 2010

Holy crap Nichelle knows a lot about cupcakes. She’s trying to wrangle a cupcake-themed convention in Philadelphia, a day of cupcake talks in NYC, and the daily upkeep of the site; I don’t know if I could handle all the sweetness. Owner Marlo Scott visited with us and we talked about annoying customers. The two-people-two-coffees-at-a-table-for-four-hours customers. I told her the story about Giacomo’s (watch the video – link) and how coffee service on Friday night just plain ruins business. They have a wine bar here, which makes this a pretty nice place to get a nightcap in the village.

Onto the cupcakes.

Pure Cupcake

This all-white cupcake made with mexican vanilla was super sweet and a bit tangy. Did I mention soft? And Moist? I know you can’t really get cupcakes hot, but if you could get one a bit warm, I think this one would be pretty awesome.

Sweet Revenge Cupcake

The namesake. A peanut butter and chocolate cupcake with crumbled peanuts on top and cocoa dust. Like Nichelle, I am not the biggest fan of Peanut butter confections and

…

Crimson and Creme Cupcake

Sweet Revenge’s take on the red velvet cupcake. Taking the color to the extreme, they throw in some raspberries and a raspberry syrupy drizzle over the tart cream cheese icing. Second Place.

…

Fleur De Sel Cupcake

This chocolate and caramel cupcake was the only one Nichelle wanted. I’d initially been excited about the Crimson and Creme because I’ve only had two other Red Velvet Cupcakes in my life. I bit into this one just after cleansing my palate with half of the Pure Cupcake and knew it was going to be my favorite before I even tried the other two.

I guess Nichelle knows her cupcakes.

Incognito Bistro

August 21, 2013

Paolo Montana and Adriana Moretti are the most gracious hosts delivering Scottish and Italian flair to Union Square/Madison Square Park. I had walked by Incognito many of times as I used to work on 18th and 5th. I always looked in but never had a chance to sit down. There are so many restaurants in […] Read More

Ellary’s Greens

July 27, 2013

This new West Village establishment had a lot of thought put into it. It is the first foray into restaurants for the New Orleans native Leith Hill. She’s just as energetic and vibrant as the drinks they serve here. When you arrive, the bright light streaming in from the future herb garden in back and […] Read More

Thalassa

May 25, 2013

I have to say that I was really impressed with Thalassa. It’s a Greek restaurant that’s in a building that’s owned by a shipping company and has been there for the last I don’t know however many years. It seems like if you own the building, you’re going to have a better possibility of being […] Read More

Oficina Latina

April 20, 2013

I really enjoyed eating at Oficina Latina. The thing that I enjoyed the most was talking to the owners, Paolo and Max. These guys are passionate. They’re passionate about food, travel, and design. All three things about which I am also passionate. It’s so much fun to talk with people who share your outlook on […] Read More
