"Magnolia Bakery, the New York City cupcake spot featured in Sex and the City, finally makes good on its long-promised Boston expansion, opening at Quincy Market. Fans of existing locations will find all the usual treats, plus some special Boston items, such as a Boston cream pie banana pudding. Open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, except on Sundays, when the hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
