This city is flooded with blueberry muffins. Plain ones, sugar-dusted numbers, big ones, itty bitty ones, and others still, paired with everything from bran to corn. We loved some, hated others, and passed on a few. Our conclusion? There's one we can honestly call "the best" and many others which are simply great and worth a detour. In the end, blueberry muffins, like most sweets, are totally subjective. Taste is personalized, so we've made sure to included seriously delicious muffins on all ends of the spectrum.

At The Grey Dog's Coffee ($2.70), the blueberry-bran muffins are huge, dense and very satisfying in that whole oat-y manner. There were fewer berries than we would have liked given the size of the muffin, but this was a hearty, muffin-can-make-a-meal find. 90 University Place, New York NY 10003 (near 12th Street; map); 212-414-4739; thegreydog.com; also in the West Village.
