The red sauce topic (1972 views)I have been trying ever since I arrived in Upstate New York to understand the appeal of the “red sauce place”.

Cupcake Lab is aspiring to be like Virgils, except they let you use your cell phone and computer. It's been open a fairly short time but had good traffic this lunchtime from people who seemed to be regulars. I had the cranberry tuna salad at $4.95; it was good and generous and came with a mini-cup of fruit cocktail and a pickle spear. Also tried a vanilla mini-cupcake topped with strawberry icing, nice way to end the meal for $1. Cupcake Lab is at the far north end of Broadway in the building that houses Roohan Realty. Not the most convenient location and you enter either from Long Alley (there is limited parking in the back) or by entering the office building and climbing up the stairs. It's worth making the trek to support these guys. Theplace will be especially cozy when winter comes.
