New York’s vegan bakery Babycakes expanded to the West Coast over the weekend, with its downtown LA location. While there was some concern that there wouldn’t be enough parking at the 6th Street location, the bakery was packed for the grand opening. Susan Fewy, who waited in line for her own Babycakes LA treat told Blog Downtown, “Everyone knows what they want, so the line is going fast. We’re just glad they’re here.”

The Organic Grill in the East Village
I asked you “what is the best retail trend of 2009?” and the poll results are in. “Vegan everything” beat out pop-up shops, comfort foods, and even vintage and consignment stores. Try some of my featured New York spots with vegan dishes like Cocoa V, Babycakes, Organic Avenue, Angelica’s Kitchen, and the Organic Grill.

Just when we thought the cupcake craze was kaput, another level of obsession is reached. The Cupcake Crawl (much like a pub crawl) is this Sunday November 22nd at 11am. Compare cake consistency and frosting flavors at several of New York’s most delicious bakeries. The crawl will hit up spots in both the Lower East Side and the East Village, and only costs $5 to join. All proceeds will benefit Food Bank for New York City. Crawl Lead Bruce Scher told Time Out New York, “We won’t be rating them, just devouring them.” Want to crawl too? Meet at Babycakes at 248 Broome Street, just around the corner from recently leased space 75 Orchard Street.

New uniforms at Babycakes! Picture from Erin McKenna's blog
Our favorite NYC vegan bake shop has just gotten a little more cutting edge. Lower East Side boutique “In God We Trust” designed uniforms for the Babycakes employees, according to bakery owner Erin McKenna’s blog. Designer Shana Tabor spent hours on end trying to create the perfect matieral for comfortable baking and frosting. After careful revisions, the uniforms were finished, complete with cutesy bowties. Both Babycakes and In God We Trust are located near space for lease 75 Orchard Street.
