Pop into this quaint little eatery and nosh on some of the finest cupcakes in NYC, like a Sweet Revenge (peanut butter cake, ganache center, peanut butter fudge frosting) or Bird of Paradise (lime chiffon cake with mango buttercream & fresh lime zest). Then wash it down with a wine or beer pairing. No need to rack your brain for which libation will best complement your cupcake. Sweet Revenge's menu has all of the recommendations on it.

This Chelsea restaurant opened in Mid-April, and they're already making some noise with weekend DJs. Dig into mouth-watering steak and burgers (pounds), like the Grilled 16oz Bone-in Rib eye or the 10oz P&O burger (pictured). Best part: you can order their sauces by the ounces (free!). Choices include Chimichurri, Maple Jus, and more. Sad part: they're only open for dinner.
