Empire Cake's New Greenwich Village Flagship

Have you ever wondered what the Twinkies, Devil Dogs, Yodels, and SnoBalls of your youth would taste like today? Probably not so great. Chelsea's Empire Cake reimagines these treats, creating elevated, not too sweet versions of these and other old-fashioned favorites.

The retro inspiration of Empire Cake's products is highlighted by the retro decor of their recently opened flagship in Greenwich Village. It's elegant but fun, with a good amount of seating. And there's so much delicious stuff to choose from! I was there filming an Instagram video with my friend and colleague Tyler (click here) and it took me about fifteen minutes to decide what to order. I take these things very seriously.
