We Need More Sausage Makers and Fewer Investment Banker Cupcake Makers

"In a perfect world, someone would open a joint that featured kielbasa and killer cupcakes."

I'm not sure about kielbasa and cupcakes, but someone did open Burgers & Cupcakes on W. 23rd St. A friend and I sampled 2 different cupcakes -- both were no better than a 2 out of 10. The burgers were on offer for $2 a burger (cheaper than the cupcakes, actually) but I couldn't think of any reason to actually try one.

I'm not sure who's behind this place but I have my doubts as to it being a mom & pop shop.

I lament the closing of Kurowycky, but I will truly be devastated if the same fate befalls the East Village Meat Market, otherwise known as Baczynsky, on Second Avenue between 8th and 9th... and the parallel applies, as it is only a couple of doors down from the useless Max Brenner, purveyor of not-good chocolate (a notion I hardly knew existed).

East Village Meat Market is a great establishment, with house-cured bacon to rival anyone's, and many other great prepared meats and sausages, as well as being a fine neighborhood butcher shop. Long may it smoke.
