replying to u/shortneon: It used to be 2 Little Red Hens but I have no idea if and when they will reopen or not. Now it’s Ladybird bakery, Claud, and Red Gate bakery.

replying to u/epoops: As someone who had gotten 20 years of birthday cakes during prime birthday cake eating childhood ages (= super deep, never fading nostalgia for the cakes) from TLRH before they closed down… I’m going to say I have no hope. The owners gave a few false reopening timelines and even said they had secured a lease nearby the old location but obviously that did not come to fruition. I’ve gotten cakes from Ladybird in Brooklyn which is apparently where the TLRH people worked at first before going on their own, and I can say their Brooklyn blackout is essentially the same. And a number of their other items also tasted almost identical to the TLRH stuff, in my opinion. But it doesn’t replace the nostalgia factor for me, so I haven’t gotten stuff from there since my initial few times going. It’s kind of out of the way for me in a neighborhood I seldom go to and without the nostalgia factor, there’s other cake shops / bakeries I prefer. Hope someone else in the comments has some more up to date info!

replying to u/SpeciousPerspicacity: I think a lot of new restaurants in New York are basically replaceable. I think the exceptions tend to be hole-in-the-wall restaurants. Still, even some of these places have a tendency to basically age out of their interest. As a resident of Lower Manhattan, Streecha was probably my answer to this question a couple of months ago. I am currently broken about this. A similar thing happened to me with Two Little Red Hens and a pop-up burrito spot in Greenpoint. My current answer is probably the Yemen Café on Atlantic Avenue. They’ve been expanding, but that sort of hospitality is from a bygone age. They’d be a profound loss.

replying to u/BettyBoopsLeftHeel: It's a shame. I never found a red velvet cake quite like that one across NYC. And I've been looking! Their little 4-inch cakes for a small family were the highlight of my days on the UES, lol.
