Weddings are a $165 billion industry in the United States, according to the Association of Bridal Consultants. The introduction in 1934 of Brides magazine, the first publication devoted to this market, played a central role in its growth.From the beginning, Brides linked weddings to consumption, promoting the lucrative formal white wedding ideal. Behind the scenes, the magazine worked with retailers to expand the market and introduce new "traditions."Before bridal magazines came on the scene, businesses in search of wedding trade had to cast a wide net. Beginning in the 1920s, kitchen-range makers, furniture dealers, ice companies and real estate agents sent congratulatory sales letters to brides and grooms-to-be setting up a new household. Many of these businesses then turned to traditional advertising media such as newspapers and women's magazines, and by 1930, to radio soap operas.Social observers of the time noted the role of business in ballooning wedding expenditures. According to "Purveyors to the Bride," a 1925 Saturday Evening Post article, the cost of society weddings had doubled since the mid-1910s and "even the trades have joined in the conspiracy for more and bigger weddings." Brides gave advertisers direct access to that growing market. Founded by Wells Drorbaugh, a former advertising manager for House & Garden, the slim magazine was first called So You're Going to Be Married. Drorbaugh reportedly got the idea after reading an article on the "Depression-proof" wedding trade. His publication started small, in the New York City living room of its first editor, Agnes Foster Wright. Brides quickly increased the scale and scope of its advertising, expanding the definition of what was considered bridal. As a service for those about to marry, it published lists of businesses that offered wedding-related services or products across the country, a format followed by its rival Modern Bride, founded in 1949.According to Barbara Tober, the editor-in-chief of Brides from 1966 to 1994, the magazine had to work to convince some manufacturers that there was a bridal market for their product. In doing so, it helped define what was necessary for the ideal wedding and the new household. Over the decades, this notion of necessity expanded, along with the size of bridal publications. The spring 2000 issue of Brides came in at 1,271 pages, entering the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest magazine ever produced. Brides expanded the industry in other ways, too. Beginning in the late 1930s, it hosted annual bridal business clinics for department stores and those interested in starting specialty bridal shops. Developed by Alexandra Potts, the magazine's head of merchandising, these events helped stores open bridal departments and gift registries.Her clinics at the Waldorf-Astoria and the Ritz-Carlton brought store executives and consultants to learn about the bride as a "volume customer." In the early 1940s, clinics addressed wartime weddings and promoted new ideas on flower displays, bridesmaid dresses and wedding gown fashions.By the early postwar period, there were 500 bride's shops with full-time consultants in towns of 50,000 or more. Aided by soaring marriage rates, the wedding industry boomed.The bridal magazine industry flourished in the late 1960s and 1970s, despite opposition from the women's movement and the counterculture. As social norms changed, the magazines made accommodations, but always in directions that expanded markets. In 1977, Modern Bride began to address the "mature" bride, a segment previously ignored.The wedding industry eventually even found profit in rising divorce rates. Priscilla of Boston, a prominent wedding gown manufacturer renowned for its White House weddings, designed a "Contemporary-Romantic" line in the 1980s for brides who, according to the company's designer, John Burbidge, were "marrying for the first to third time in a semi-formal atmosphere."By the late 1990s, bridal magazines urged other non-traditional brides, such as the visibly pregnant, to have a formal white wedding with all the trimmings. And in 2003, for the first time, Brides addressed the issue of gay marriage in a short, one-page piece that noted "same-sex affairs can be nearly as traditional as heterosexual ones." And, one imagines, just as profitable.

Diversity attacks Top500 supercomputer list
The latest Top 500 Supercomputer list has arrived, reflecting a rather vibrant market for the highest performing systems. A refreshed version of IBM's BlueGene/L system at Lawrence Livermore National Lab remains the top overall machine. It's been number one since 2004, which must be a source of endless joy at both Big Blue and …
Amazed by Intel and HP combination
Can't believe that SGI and HP beats IBM (in 10th position) with much less number of Intel x86 processors. Look at the number of processors, SGI and HP number of processors much less compare to IBM. What does this mean? Less processors, less boards, less spaces, and may lead to less MONEY (not really sure though). Too bad... the website doesn't show the performance/price comparison.
Another interesting point is that HP manages to show the world that their blade system talks by itself, doesn't have to create any videos at all. This result shows that they are talking no temperature, talking no noise, they talk about the performance. Look at these blades performance, they put their cheap blade HP Proliant BL460c to fight against the famous IBM BlueGene Solution. HP learns from mistake, they have changed their enclosure design for more than one time. Now they come back with a blade system that can scale well from SOHO, SME and even a real big Enterprise solution (look at the TOP500 supercomputer). Makes the customer easily scale their system, the fact shows that it scales from c3000 (up to 16 processors) to ~14,000 Processors. BL460c is even available for online purchase from HP website...
Blue Gene
You might want to read up on the philosophy behind Blue Gene before making yourself look like a fool.
The PowerPC processors used in Gene are in no way meant to to be high performers by themselves, the strong point of the architecture is the scalability of it all.
And the PPC 440's are relatively easy on your electrical bill as well.
Oh and if you want to advertise HP products, you might want to look into buying some ad space, I'm sure El Reg can accommodate your needs just fine.
While you're at it...
...take some grammar lessons!

Yon Yonson
"Yon Yonson" is an infinitely recursive poem, nursery rhyme or song, perhaps best known from the novel Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, although Vonnegut did not create it.
Origins of the song[edit]
The song is often sung in a Scandinavian accent (e.g. j pronounced as y, w pronounced as v). This accent is revealed by the name "Yon Yonson," which when recited in American English is usually rendered "Jan Jansen" or "John Johnson." The Swedish pronunciation "Yon Yonson" probably dates the origin of the song to soon after the Swedes' arrival in the United States.[1]
The earliest known appearance of the song has been credited to Jan Sophus Jansen (1870–1953).[2][3][4] Jan Jansen (pronounced "Yon Yonson") was born in Amager Denmark. At age 23 (1893), he immigrated to the United States. Jan settled in Berlin, Wisconsin, where he first worked in a lumberyard and later worked as a carpenter, cabinet maker, and wood pattern maker.[5] Jan was known to sing his namesake song while playing the concertina as he walked the streets of Berlin.[citation needed]
Another possible origin of the song is the dialect stage comedy Yon Yonson by Gus Heege and W. D. Coxey(1890).[6][7] The play's setting included a Minnesota lumber camp. However, no evidence shows that the song was actually performed as part of the play.[8]
Numerous versions of the song exist, but all are similar to the following:
- My name is Yon Yonson,
- I come from Wisconsin.
- I work in a lumber yard there.
- Everyone that I meet
- When I walk down the street,
- Says "Hello! What's your name?"
- And I say: My name is Yon Yonson... (repeated again and again).
Another version goes:
- My name is Yon Yonson,
- I come from Wisconsin
- I work in a lumber mill there
- All the people I meet
- As I walk down the street
- Ask me how in the hell I got there
- So I tell them: My name is Yon Yonson...
Another version goes:
- My name is Yon Yonson,
- I come from Wisconsin
- I work in a lumber mill there
- All the people I meet
- As I walk down the street
- They say "Hello, Yon Yonson, hello"
Another version goes:
- My name is Yon Yonson
- I come from Wisconsin
- I work in a lumber yard there, you see.
- And the people I meet,
- When I walk down the street.
- Say 'Hello'.
- And I say 'Hello'.
- And they say 'What's your name'?
- And I say..."Repeats"
Other occurrences of the song[edit]
- The novel Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, Chapter 1, paragraph 8
- The novel Dodsworth by Sinclair Lewis in Chapter 11[9]
- Carl Sandburg included the song in his 1972 folk song collection, Flat Rock Ballads.[10][11]
- The Canadian band The Dave Howard Singers released an industrial/punk version of "Yon Yonson" in 1987.
- The Children's Band Ralph's World released a version of this on their 2003 album Peggy's Pie Parlor. The lyrics have been changed slightly from what is quoted in this article.
- The phrase was also used in a TV promotion ("Altered States") for Calvin Klein perfume.
- In the video game Psychonauts, Sasha Nein will begin to recite this in an injury-induced daze if the battle with the mega-censor continues long enough.[citation needed]
- The song has also appeared in numerous children's song books
- The computer game "Baldur's Gate II" has a gnome character who joins the player's party named Jan Jansen. He often bursts into very mundane stories about himself that never seem to end.

Nowadays I help product teams apply industry best practices to their portfolio of products with workshops customized to your priorities.
I can help…
- Assess your strengths to identify areas for improvement
- Design a nimble solution delivery structure
- Define a product playbook, tailored to your business, for a product "by the numbers" approach

Cute video with a cat holding bunnies. [Jack's Note: Which is true, but the description doesn't exactly do the video justice. There's a lot to unpack here. Is the cat trying to clean or eat the bunnies? Or both? Why is the cat letting the bunnies crawl on him? Is he too fat to move? How did the cat come by the bunnies in the first place? These are things to think about while you watch this video.] Watch Video ›

Very much in the Miranda July/indie style where there are no extremes, plot twists or high drama, which can be refreshing. However, this book came close to being solid but fell short due to the lack of any real depth. The characters are a bit vapid and don't possess any real insight into their own lives. I was left wanting characters who had more personality, could actual identify how they were feeling and/or cared about something besides themselves.
I did not care for this book. I actually gave up on it after about sixty pages. It's saccharine and dull and about self-obsessed twenty-somethings who do nothing, are nothing, and will probably amount to nothing.
Office Girl was alright. The writing style is very casual, making it an easy read. The story itself was okay, it was mostly focusing on Jack and Odile, not much else going on. I didn't find myself attached to the two main characters at all; I felt that Meno could have gone a lot farther with them, made them much deeper than they let on. I thought it was building up to something intense, but there was no real climax. It just kind of chugged along this straight path, without anything very eventful along the way. I was actually really angry when I got to the end, I was mad at how abrupt is was. It just cut you right off, without any closure at all. Afterwards I thought about it, and thought I kind of got when he was trying to say, but, it just wasn't very meaningful. Overall, I don't regret reading it, but I think there could have been a lot more to it.

text: Indian Tribe Launches Radio Ad to Change Name of Redskins Print article Send a Tip by Cameron Scales 6 Sep 2013 post a comment The Washington Redskins will be facing a radio ad campaign to press the club to change their name. The Oneida Indian Nation, an American Indian tribe from upstate New York, will run the ad in Washington, D.C. prior to the Redskins' Monday night match-up with the Philadelphia Eagles. The ad calls for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to "stand up to bigotry" and denounce "racial slurs" in team names. Oneida representative Roy Halbritter says in the ad, "We do not deserve to be called redskins. We deserve to be treated as what we are - Americans." The ad comes after more intense media scrutiny the team has been facing this offseason. Many news outlets, such as Slate, have refused call the team by their nickname. Other sportswriters and publications have said they would refer to the team as the "Washington football team." NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy stood by the team's nickname in an email to the associated press stating, "The name from its origin has always intended to be positive and has always been used by the team in a highly respectful manner." Oneida plans to continue to run the ads in D.C. when the Redskins have home games and in the cities of their opponents when they play away.

Tatami Room?
So my birthday dinner is coming up and I was wondering if anyone could rec. a great Japanese Rest. with a tatami room. The only one I can find is Thousand cranes, I've never been there before any reviews? My family seems to think I should just stick to my old fall back Matsuhisa (no Tatami obviously but, always good food), I want to try somewhere new though. There will only be 6-8 of us so no crazy 20+ tatami rooms please.
Musha in Santa Monica. Not sushi, but excellent food and very, very reasonable.
Previous thread that will give you an exellent idea of the food here: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/480675
re: Servorg
Musha is yummy and fun! Their tatami room is perfect for your party size.
Furaibo also has a tatami room but it can accommodate about 20, and it's not very comfortable as there is no leg room under the table.
Gonpachi in Beverly Hills has Tatami rooms, small size. We saw them when we had dinner there the first time, we didn't eat at a tatami room, but we passed by them, and they looked extremely nice and peaceful.
Hi Violet,
Thousand Cranes is elegant & delicious, but quite pricey! There are a few other Japanese Hotels in LA other than the New Otani which houses Thousand Cranes. I would call those few, and ask if their restaurant has (a) tatami room(s). I think these authentic Venues are your best bet for find these. Good luck! -JET
re: Jet
Re: The New Otani
The company that owned the property sold the building and The New Otani Hotel & Gardens is now owned and managed other entities and called the Kyoto Grand Hotel and Gardens. http://www.kyotograndhotel.com/
Senbazuru (A Thousand Cranes) restaurant is still operating but I wonder if the new management kept some of hotel's restaurant staff and same menu on or all new staff/menu?
Tatami rooms I know:
Gonpachi in Beverly Hills (beware of the mostly inedible menu there)
Honda-Ya in Little Tokyo (me like)
FuRaiBo on Sawtelle (me like)
re: ChefJune
Still in business, still suck big bottles of goat fur in terms of food.
Kokekokko, as I recall, has a pretty cool, smallish tatami room -- if you are into yakitori and devine soboro don.
Kinokawa has a small tatami room that would probably be perfect for your size party.
Kinokawa Japanese
1611 E Wardlow Rd, Long Beach, CA 90807
I like Honda-Ya in Little Tokyo. Their tatami room is pretty big, so you could fit a large party in there.
I believe Sai Sai at the Biltmore has a tatami room, don't recall the size, but thought it was not that large. I used to enjoy lunching at Sai Sai but haven't been there in a long time.
btw the tatami room at Honda Ya in Jtown is the 20+ type.
I just had a bday dinner at Musha (CH-suggested) in Santa Monice last Friday and it was great! Bar is really only beer and sake (there is nothing else drinkable on it) so my only caveat would be to BYOB if you want anything else...but the food was yummy and the room was just the right size for 6-8. Highly recommended - and (off the subject) with the money you save on Friday you can get your S.O. to take you to Ortolan on Sat.(as I did) ... I am still dreaming about that Egg and Caviar in Hot Ash!! But MUSHA was winner - go for it!
re: truefoodie
in case you want to know what we ate - scroll down for my follw-up post
re: truefoodie
Beer is really the best match for izakaya food. More versatile than wine OR sake (although sake,a s a sort of beer, really, can also do well) this is why beer is the traditional izakaya drink!
re: SauceSupreme
Do they have tatami rooms for 2? Or is it just reserved for larger parties?
re: raionz
Depending on how slow the night is, I'm sure SSG would let a group of 2 take a table.
For sure, Honda-ya and FuRaiBo will let groups of 2 use a tatami table.
Thanks so much for the Recs. I think we will be checking out Musha. I 'll post back here to let ya'll know how it went. Thanks again.

It's sort of like that feeling you get when you see a 3-legged dog - your heart is mildly warmed by its perseverance, but the rest of you would much rather look away and think about something a little less... depressing.
Datawind's $50 (2499INR) Aakash tablet is a 2-legged dog. It's powered by a 366MHz ARM11 CPU - a processor architecture released a decade ago.
Over the weekend, we found out about Moto's upcoming dev-friendly version of the RAZR, its first device with an unlockable bootloader. What we didn't have, however, were any details about how the unlock process would work, how it would affect the warranty, and so on. Moto has now posted the details answering many of those exactly questions, and there's one thing for sure - it doesn't look like it's going to be as good as it sounds.
Google's not one to shy away from engaging its developers. Between the Android developers blog, Google Groups, and a myriad of other contact methods, Google is pretty open about talking with developers. If you're looking to get a bit more social, you can now add the official Android developers page to your circles Google+.
If there's one thing we love, it's an open community of developers working together. Google has been pushing harder to try and steer its developers in the direction it wants.
Did you think that the Galaxy S II was the follow-up to the widely-popular Galaxy S line of phones from Samsung? Think again! Samsung just announced the Galaxy S Advance, a dual-core, mid-range device sporting an HSPA+ radio and shipping with Gingerbread. The new phone also sports a curved display, which is quickly becoming a hallmark of Samsung phones.
The device isn't a wimp, by any means, but it's also not going to top any benchmarks, which places it firmly in the mid-range of devices, which is a curious position.
T-Mobile UK just announced the plan to kill all plans for our brothers and sisters across the pond. It's called The Full Monty and it's everything that you could possibly want in a mobile plan - unlimited calls, texts, data, and tethering all for one price.
The plan has four different variants, each of which is mostly differentiated by applicable devices. Here's a quick overview of what it looks like:
If you notice, the most affordable plan is also the one available on the widest variety of devices, but it also has one hindrance compared to the other choices: it only offers 2,000 talk-time minutes to networks other than T-Mo.
You may have heard of Anomaly Warzone Earth HD before, and while it isn't new to Android, it is new to the Android Market. 11 Bit Studios released this game exclusively into the Amazon Appstore some months ago, but now it's fully out in the open for everyone else to enjoy. What's so great is that this game is both fresh and entirely unique. Hearing that about a title coming out of the tower defense genre sounds weird, right?
Are you one of literally dozens of users who believe that your 4.5" smartphone is too small, that 7" tablets are too big, and that styluses never got the shot they deserve on a modern smartphone? Then mark February 19th on your calendars, friends. The Galaxy Note from Samsung is landing that very day (pre-orders start on February 5th).
The Galaxy Note is unique enough in its own right. Part phone, part tablet, the device attempts to be it all for the power user who can't quite decide which device they want.
Welcome to the weekly roundup of the best new Android applications, games, and live wallpapers that went live in the Market or were spotted by us in the previous 2 months or so.
This edition focuses only on new tablet apps or ones that added Honeycomb support. Regular apps and games are coming soon.
The amount of tablet-centric apps in the last few weeks has been abysmal, so I decided to skip the tablet roundup a few times.
Motorola announced today through its official community blog that a RAZR "Developer Edition" (evidently based on the original Droid RAZR, not its newer MAXX counterpart) is in the works. The dev-friendly device will carry an unlockable bootloader and is poised to hit European markets relatively soon, with a (yet unspecified) unlockable device bound for the U.S. "in the coming months." Oddly enough, the blog post was pulled (perhaps it was published prematurely; Update: it's live once again), but luckily the text of the post has been retained:

7 Iron II decks interchangeable?
Just wondering if 7 iron II decks are interchangeable on Deere Zero Turns? I assume that say a 54" deck from a Z700 series will go on any Z700 series mower? And a 54" deck from a Z900 series will fit any Z900 series mower?
But will a 54" 7 iron II deck from a Z700 series go on a Z900 series mower? I don't own a Deere Z yet, so I can't say for sure, but looking at specs all of the Deere zero turns are the same length, except for the diesel. Just figured they used the same frame and that decks would align the same.
If anyone can clarify this for me, that would be great!

Yesterday the U.S. International Trade Commission lifted tariffs on imported steel from Australia, Canada, France and Japan, and there was much rejoicing in the boardrooms of many automakers that build cars and trucks in the U.S. The tariffs were originally put in place on cheap steel imported into the U.S. from a total of six countries that threatened to collapse the U.S. steel industry back in 1993. Some 13 years later, the U.S. steel industry is healthy, and the tariffs that once were helpful, are now creating artificially high steel prices in the U.S.
Six automakers including General Motors, Ford, DaimlerChrysler, Honda, Nissan and Toyota lobbied hard for this outcome and were extremely pleased yesterday, despite not getting tariffs lifted against steel imported from Germany and Korea, tariffs on both of which will remain in place until reviewed again in 2011.
The rising cost of raw materials, steel in particular, has been a constant thorn in the side of our own domestic auto industry, the members of which are busy trying to orchestrate complex turnarounds at the moment. Hopefully market prices for steel will begin to drop as competition to sell this all-important ingredient in modern day cars heats up again.

Where to go for moist cupcakes?
Now that Tonnie's Minis (which was my go to) has closed, where to go for moist cupcakes? I know Two Little Red Hens. Blackhound's are still too dry for me. Hate Magnolia. Not impressed with Crumbs, and yet strangely willing to make an exception for Cupcake Cafe (at least for the chocolate mocha.)
re: gutsofsteel
re: fatema
I love the cupcakes at Chikalicious! (IMHO, even better than Two Little Red Hens which is around the corner from my apartment).
re: ellenost
Maybe I just caught them on an off-night, but the cupcakes I had at Chikalicious (Smores and I can't remember the other-maybe red velvet?) were dry and not good at ALL. Which ones would you recommend there? I'm willing to give it one more try because so many people seem to like it.
Also, I forgot to mention that Sweet Revenge really is delicious. Got a chocolate peanut butter cupcake to-go and it was AWESOME! Super moist and super flavorful.
re: Jess321
I love (really love) the premium caramel cupcakes (has caramel filling inside) and the red velvet cupcakes (no filling). Pretty much after every time I go to Momofuku Ko (which is every two months), I stop by Chikalicious for these 2 cupcakes. They taste great even the next day (if I'm too full from Ko).
re: Jess321
I actually don't really like Chikalicious's Smores cupcakes. I also found it to be on the dry side for some reason. But the other ones are great. My favorites are the mocha, caramel and triple chocolate. I've also liked the red velvet there, but preferred the red velvet at Two Little Red Hens.
For the OP, in addition to a few of the cupcakes listed here, I also think Mitchel London has very moist cake. I'm only a fan of the red velvet and chocolate ganache/chocolate-peanut butter topping because I think the other icings are too sugary.
Surprisingly, I've had a couple of decent cupcakes at Crumbs. But that has been the minority as most of the ones I've tried were pretty dry. Perhaps the freshness thing has a lot to do with it. Maybe I got really lucky with the two moist ones I've eaten.
re: Jess321
I'm not a big fan of their Smores either, but absolutely adore the triple chocolate one. I like the caramel and mocha too.
re: Jess321
This was my experience (I had the exact same two flavors.) I've actually been underwhelmed by most of the Chikalicious desserts that I've had (but they are still better than Momofuku Milk.)
re: gutsofsteel
+1 on the hens
re: a_and_w
Dissent on the Hens (please, don't throw any hard objects). Fresh is no longer enough-either the taste is too subtle for my un-educated palate, or simply not substantial enough to be as life altering as everyone on this website says they are.
re: addictedtolunch
oh wtf no way! *throws rock.
i've only tried their mini cupcakes once but i had each flavor in one sitting lol
but i've also had a bad pumpkin pie slice from them.
ive only been there twice but liked most of the things ive tried. i would say give thme another shot. (at least try the mini cupcakes)
re: ttoommyy
crumbs CAKE is actually moist, but it taste like dunkin hines, so why bother spennding the $$ for something you can make at home...I think babba booey and artie lange made crumbs popular...magnolia has to be the worst cupcake i have ever eaten and i really dont get why they dont work on the recipe..Super dense and dry as all hell. Their banana pudding is awesome though. Buttercup is a little better than magnolia, but its a hit or miss with that place...
re: smokeandapancake
I agree. The cupcakes i've had at Crumbs are moist but the frosting is so ridiculously sweet it hurts to eat it. I think their frosting to cake ratio is off too, making it really difficult to eat. Or maybe it's cause the cupcake is so friggin big, it's like superman cupcake on steroids, kind of reminds me of Levain's cookies without the wow taste factor.
I've only had two monster cupcakes but I think their mini ones are a lot better than their regular ones but not too great because of the frosting. A tip I found for eating Crumb's cupcakes (small or big) is to take a fork and get some of the frosting off. I find the frosting is just really overwhelming, it's like all I taste sometimes.
I haven't made the mistake of trying magnolia thanks to chowhound =] and from the cupcakes I've tried in manhattan my favorite has been Two Little Red Hens. In particular their ginger cupcakes, but I think they only sell those seasonally.
In case you live near Tonnie's and still want Two Little Red Hen's but don't want to trek to the UES, I recently figured out they sell them at Dean & Deluca in SoHo (only a minimal upcharge, like fifty cents). I was a fan of Tonnie's as well and am sad they're gone. I actually went into Citarella off of 6th ave a few days ago (not sure of the cross street but I wanna say it's like 8th ish?) and had an amazing red velvet there! I'm not a fan of Magnolia or Crumbs either and I actually laughed out loud when I saw the line around the block of Magnolia one day last week. My thoughts are that those are all new customers and they've never tasted how dry and gross their cupcakes really are.
re: Jess321
But Magnolia was on Sex and the City! It must be good! :-)
re: gutsofsteel
Haha. I really wanted to warn the tourists, but I seriously doubt they'd listen to anything negative about that place. Even after all of the negative reviews I'd read, I never wanted to go there myself but decided to try it just once to make sure I had reason to bash it (I knew they wouldn't be good but I have problems talking smack if I don't have personal experience to back it up)--and I wish I could have my $4 and a few hundred calories back! I couldn't even finish the red velvet...and I LOVE red velvet anything! Oh well. More for the tourists.
re: Jess321
I had a vanilla cupcake there and thought it was amazing and very moist. Billy's Bakery also has really good cupcakes. Magnolia may be touristy but that doesn't make a place bad. It simply means that tourists go there because it's well known. It really is great.
re: dezineliz
magnolia isn't bad because it's touristy. it's mediocre because of the cupcakes
re: dezineliz
Always forget about Billy's (not in my hood)....but cupcakes are fantastic there. My go-to cupcake recipe to bake is their vanilla vanilla cupcakes---which ALWAYS gets rave reviews!
re: dezineliz
Ughh, Magnolia's is beyond bad. Not because it is popular to trash it, not because it is touristy. It is just plain bad because it is bad. Too sweet, with bad chemical aftertaste.
Their quality plummeted after their popularity sky rocketed. I enjoyed their cakes when they first opened, not anymore.
I had a great dark choc. cupcake at the Connecticut Muffin in Fort Greene, Brooklyn...
need to check for other locations, as there are some...
DELISH !! So fresh and moist, and the frosting was so smooth !
Among all the various places mentioned here – can we please just take Crumbs out of the equation? They are like Entenmann's without the packaging. Between the artificial colors and goodness knows what flavorings, there is nothing remotely handcrafted or artisinal about them and it's really unfair to demean these other establishments by, even momentarily, making such comparisons.
re: jtacobell
if you're willing to go soy I adore the cupcakes at Kyotofu in Hell's Kitchen. They have both classic and Japanese flavors.
re: eeee
Yes! I love Kyotofu's cupcakes. They're definitely moist. Big Booty Bakery in Chelsea has very moist (and delicious, IMO) red velvet cupcakes as well. I still need to try Michael London's cupcakes.
I've had very dry cupcakes at Buttercup, Pinisi, Crumbs, and Sugar Sweet Sunshine. I would avoid those.
re: eeee
The moistest cupcakes I've ever had-I've even kept one for a day at home and the inside still stays as moist as ever. And, it doesn't taste like soy for anyone concerned about that-you don't have to be vegan to enjoy them (I'm most definitely not).
As echoed on this board-Magnolia and Crumbs, eh.
SSS-I have had a good pumpkin spice and red velvet in the past, but theirs can be dry and also sometimes quite bland.
Amy's Bread has a nice double-chocolate cupcake muffin thing with cream cheese filling; I found it quite moist even at the very end of the day (HK location)
re: orthorunner
Oh yes, I've had some good and moist cupcakes from Amy's Bread as well, especially red velvet and chocolate. The only cupcake that was moist from SSS was strawberry creamcheese and I've had pretty much every flavor they have. I don't get people who despise Magnolia and love SSS -- the cupcakes aren't that different, and for a reason.
re: uwsister
I had tried Magnolias and Sugar sweet sunshine yesterday. I tossed the two from Magnolia $5.50 for 2. Way to sweet frosting and dry cake. I then proceeded to SSS and was happier with those but that is not saying too much. The frosting was not as sweet and chalky and the cake not as dry but again not amazing. But having tried both within hours of eachother there is a noticeable difference. My mouth went into sugar shock from Magnolias and had to toss while I was able to enjoy SSS.
re: askeenan
I do think SSS cupcakes are marginally better than Magnolia, but like you said, that's not saying much. There are much better cupcakes to be had in the city. $1.50 price tag is tempting though so I do end up getting their strawberry creamcheese cupcake once in a while. But I find their cupcakes dry in general and their chocolate frosting is terrible.
re: uwsister
SSS: The pumpkin is pretty delicious and we forgot a 6 pack for a week in the refrigerator and they were still good. I totally agree that their chocolate fronting is inedible.
re: apple342
Tried a super tasty moist cupcake at Spot Dessert Bar recently and I imagine their other cupcakes would be similar!
re: urbanp
i tried the green tea and vietnamese coffee cupcake from Spot, although the cupcakes weren't dry I didn't think the flavors were tasty. The frosting for the vietnamese coffee was a bit too strong for me and the green tea's frosting was also a bit too strong. Not sure if it was just the frosting but they both tasted a little bit funky to me
re: daffyduck
Just tried the same two cupcakes (green tea chocolate and Vietnamese coffee) at Spot the other day and thought they were both excellent. The cake wasn't especially moist but not dry either and I personally loved the green tea and Vietnamese coffee frosting, thought all the flavors combined very well.
re: uwsister
i tried a lemon yuzu? flavored and a chocolate\raspberry cupcake recently at spot and thought they were excellent.
re: apple342
Another vote for TLRH. Also, Alice's Tea Cup makes a surprisingly delicious cupcake.
re: apple342
re: apple342
I actually was there yesterday...shared the Brooklyn Blackout and Boston Cream. Brooklyn Blackout was amazing...Boston Cream was very dry and hardly had any filling.
re: serious
Sugar Sweet Sunshine's Lemon cupcakes are about the best I've ever had. The rest of their cakes seem good, but nothing special. Bucking the trend, I've had some very good, very fresh cupcakes at Magnolia.

Overall, maybe this is a fruitless quest, period? I'm thinking quality control for small businesses who are cranking out TONS of cupcakes every day is difficult -- ovens have hot/cold spots, the ones on the edges of the pans bake faster, etc. You can't prove a negative (if I say a place doesn't have dry cupcakes, someone will inevitably post that they had a dry one, right?).
BTW, I do like Sage American Kitchen's, though, which you can find at Dean & Deluca, and I also like Butter Lane, which I'm not sure anybody has mentioned.
re: kathryn
Yes, I was just thinking about Butter Lane. They use high quality ingredients but the cupcakes are expensive - $3 each. I do live nearby and have enjoyed their cupcakes multiple times.
re: kathryn
Forgot about Butter Lane, I also like their cupcakes, especially with French buttercream.
re: uwsister
I also live near Butter Lane and will stop in if I'm walking past and feel like getting a cupcake, but I actually find their cupcakes too buttery! To many people, that would be a recommendation.
re: kathryn
I don't understand the obsession with cupcakes. I would have to agree that this seems to be a more fruitless quest than many other foodstuffs. It's much easier to get a moist slice of cake and it is a better value.
re: Pookipichu
Cupcakes = best dessert hand food
Cake = delicious plate + fork food
I agree it's easier to get moist cake and that it's a better value though.
re: kathryn
i was just about to ask if anyone recommends Butter Lane - i saw Ted Allen raving about them on the Food Network recently.
re: goodhealthgourmet
VERY buttery, to a fault in my opinion. They're pretty good - worth going to if you're close by and have the desire, but not worth a special trip. I probably posted more or less the same opinion elsewhere in this thread, but I'm too lazy to look through it now. :-)
Went to Kyotofu and had the yuzu cupcake and the chocolate cupcake. Both were quite good and moist, but kinda reminded me more of muffins - don't know if it was the lack of frosting or what. I also sampled the rose softserve which is made with soymilk, and that was phenomenal and light. Quite unlike most softserve. I am quite the fan of Two Little Red Hens, so I guess I'll just have to get up there more.
@Kathryn - agree w/ you on the difficulty of quality control and difference of opinion, but at some point the mass of opinion begins to stack up. Also NYC being the foodie town that it is, places often don't get a second chance cos there's too much good food in the city that if people have a bad experience they will generally just write off the restaurant/bakery entirely. Especially in a bad economy where you have to make your dollars count.
Yeah, Magnolia is horrible. I got all excited from the hype but ended up incredibly disappointed with a dry, hard cupcake with chalky frosting. Eek.
I live near a neighborhood bakery called The Local Store. It doesn't really specialize in cupcakes but the carrot cupcake with cream cheese icing is freaking awesome. The cupcake is made with whole grain and it's actually pretty small compared to the giant cupcakes you find at Crumbs, but I don't need that intense sugar rush or complicated flavor combinations.
re: bornsweet88
I think you should check out Billy's. There located around 9th ave and in the 20's, maybe 24th st. really good cupcakes.
re: wonka
I second Billy's Bakery. They're actually closer to 21st st on 9th St .They're whole cakes are great too.
re: CantStopEating
The Billy's in Tribeca (near the former Knitting Factory space) puts out some really good cupcakes too. I'd say a little better than the flagship location if moistness is a criteria.
re: bornsweet88
This thread is funny for me to read. I just got back from NYC - at the urging of a friend of a friend who lives in NJ and works in Times Square, we went to Magnolia Bakery for a cupcake. It was dismal -- "dry, hard cupcake with chalky frosting" is right. The only thing it had going for it is that it was near our hotel. I hadn't read up on Magnolia on Chowhound before going as cupcakes weren't really on my radar. If I had, I could have saved myself a crappy cupcake experience! I had really wanted to go to the Hens or ChikaLicious for sweets, but that didn't work out logistically. Next time...

Just curious - has anyone tried the cupcakes from Butch Bakery? Featured in the New York Times, but they only deliver - no store front yet according to the website.
"Where Butch meets Buttercream" LOL!
no ones mentioned this but i think u can request things be made at the Treats Truck. I've only tried their pumpkin cake and cookies but they were delish. I remember while I was there the guy in front of me requested she make hamantaschen and she was fine with that and asked him when he could pick it up tomorrow. I think she has an oven in her truck so maybe if u ever want cupcakes really freshly baked you can tell her what u want and she can bake them for u right before u pick them up
After reading all the rave reviews of Two Little Red Hens, I made a special trip and got four of their cupcakes to sample: chocolate, vanilla, red velvet , and marble/swirl. Yes, they beat Magnolia and Crumbs hands down, but I still think Sugar Sweet Sunshine is the best moist cupcake Manhattan has to offer. Plus they deliver (via messenger), even to Midtown. Billy's Bakery is also top notch. I might be willing to go back to Two Little Red Hens to try the Brooklyn Blackout if that's their specialty, but I wasn't blown away by the other four flavors and wouldn't go out of my way again as long as SSS is in business.
I enjoy Billy's, I think it's 10ave,..I find the chocolate cake really moist, as well as the carrot and banana.....the yellow cake can be dry at times.
I have yet to find a bakery in New York that makes a chocolate frosting I crave, but Amy's Bread's is pretty good and their devil's food cake cupcake is one of the best I've had. I prefer them with white or pink frosting over chocolate.
I would like to add One Girl Cookie on Dean Street in Brooklyn (is that Cobble Hill?) to your list. I think theirs are some of the best cupcakes I've had. I don't usually like red velvet because some places frost these with an overly buttery buttercream, but OGC's are delicious with a perfect cream cheese frosting. I think Baked in Red Hook makes great ones too!
Here's a great NY Mag article reviewing their top 15: http://newyork.grubstreet.com/2009/04...
re: billyeats
OK, I have a new favorite cupcake - the chocolate lavender from Kumquat. They sell at the Brooklyn Flea.

Loved BAKED and always forget about that one! Also, their cookbook is fantastic. Have not been to Sweet Melissa's, although heard good things.
re: alixabeth
Sweet Melissa = way overpriced, and not good at all, in my book.
Tonnie's Minis hasn't closed, it's just moved uptown to Lenox Ave. between 123rd and 124th: http://www.tonniesminis.com/
re: Joe Food
Thanks for the find. Sadly I have yet to haul my butt up to eat at Charles' Fried Chicken so I don't know that I'll be getting to the new Tonnie's anytime soon. I guess it's back to the drawing board for me.
On another note, I don't know how NYMag rated Chikalicious cupcakes tops. They are way too dry for me. And sort of sickly sweet. I wasn't impressed by the smores or the salted caramel there.
Not a cupcake place of course, but Blue Smoke at lunch time has great cupcakes.
