BURGER HEAVEN, CUPCAKE HELL

Burgers and Cupcakes
458 9th Ave, Hell’s Kitchen




While I enjoy burgers and I (obviously) love cupcakes, the concept of eating them together or one after the other is completely unappealing. Despite this, I had to try this place. This restaurant actually has a decent amount of cupcake options but none of them really stood out either time. During my first visit I had a red velvet cupcake which was served with a glass of a water in a mason jar. Cute. Sadly, the cup of water was more mouthwater than the cupcake.  The cupcake was just OK. A bit dry, kind of tasteless, but the cream cheese icing was decent. The next time I had a hardcore chocolate chocolate cupcakes with heart sprinkles (it was Valentine’s Day). The cupcakes were $2.50…although I believe they have larger cupcakes that are more expensive. These cupcakes aren’t that great so I wouldn’t shell out anymore than $2.50 for them. The cupcakes are mediocre, but the décor of the restaurant is even worse. There are lots of tables and seating but you feel like you are sitting in an unfinished basement. Doesn’t make you want to stay in there for longer than it takes to purchase the cupcake. Next time, I will skip the cupcakes and have a burger instead.
 
peace, love, and cupcakes
