Opened in 1975 and standing strong since then, Eileen’s Special Cheesecake is definitely the place to be. Varieties of cheesecakes and pastries are offered here and customers have the option of shipping the cakes to a location of their choice.

Molly's Cupcakes is actually run by a man named Johnny who gave his shop the moniker of his grade-school teacher. According to him, his teacher would bring in the most delicious cupcakes and here at this quaint, little yellow store, Johnny tries to emulate Miss Molly with his version of the popular treat. Molly's is probably best known for its center-filled cupcakes, where guests can indulge upon choices like peanut butter Nutella, creme brulée or decadent cake batter. Additionally, the shop stays open until midnight on weekends, so combined with its location in the hectic West Village makes for a great stop after dinner or drinks.
If you're looking for an old-fashioned neighborhood pastry store, Veniero's is the place to be.

The Veniero family still runs the business and by the looks of the constant influx of people, it probably will exist until 2094.
