Coffee Cake in NYC?

[Ebbet]

Looking for the best coffee cake in NYC. I prefer sour cream coffee cake with brown sugar streusel topping, over cakes with crumb toppings (too floury), but am open to hearing the best of any type.

The best I know -- which is good, but not perfect -- is Two Little Red Hens' Pecan Crunch. Others?

Thanks! I was beginning to think I was the only NYer who likes coffee cake.

The problem with making it yourself (which I've done) is that you then have a whole cake. Which my doctor recommends against. And in any event, I like trying others' variations on the basic theme.

Cupcake Café (aka Casa) on 40th/9th has a fantastic blueberry coffee cake that is served in mammoth portions.

Seconded! Their apple and plain variations are equally noteworthy. (They also have that Books of Wonder location on 18th bet. 5th and 6th.) I also like the blueberry coffeecake at Amy's Bread, and the streusel coffeecake at Little Pie Company. Chicory in Cobble Hill/Carroll Grdns used to carry a moist and delicious bundt cake, but I don't know that they still have it...

I can hear my kids saying, "oh mom...) but I have to say it. this type of coffee cake is dead easy to make. Not one of those tricky recipes, esp if you have some kind of mixer.
