Crumbs Bake Shop

Crumbs Bake Shop, on the South West corner of Lexington & 93rd has been a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. Cupcakes in various sizes, shapes and colors are available at a beautifully renovated shop. Coffee, hot chocolate, cakes and other goodies are available, but really there's only one reason to walk in the door.

Here are a few pix from their display window. Go eat a red velvet cupcake, its good for you!

Happy Superbowl Sunday.

Paola's Restaurant moving to 92nd & Mad

Paola's Restaurant moving to the Hotel Wales


A fantastic location in the heart of Carnegie Hill has seen restaurants come and go. Joanna's Restaurant moved to this large space across the street from their cozy original home on the South West corner Madison & 92nd, only to recently shudder their doors. Prior to that, a personal favorite, 92 had a few strong years in the space, but couldn't survive despite their amazing ice cream sundae.

Next up, Paola's - currently located at 245 East 84th Street, where it has a loyal long term following. The website claims that February 2nd is opening night. They make their pastas in house, which is a great start and the menu looks diverse with a nod to the classics which is critical to success in this part of town.

We're excited to welcome them to Carnegie Hill's restaurant row (Madison between 92nd - 93rd) and are excited to sample their fettuccine bolognese, the real test of any Italian joint... Oh, and this asparagus ravioli looks spectacular!
