----------
Conveniently located off of Union Square, Baked By Melissa offers one of the most unique - and tasty - treats in NYC: mini cupcakes. Quarter-sized but packin' the flavor of a ten-dollar bill (corny, I know), each cupcake offers a different spin on a bakery classic, and some even come stuffed with cream!

Based on my extensive experience with these bite-sized sweets (I ate a dozen of them standing outside after I bought 'em), I would suggest the Red Velvet, Peanut Butter & Jelly (stuffed with jelly!) and Cookies and Cream varieties, in that order. The rest of their 9-flavor line up includes flavors like Mint Chocolate Chip, Tie-dye, Cookie Dough, Peanut Butter Cup, Cinnamon, and S'mores.
