"When Lloyd Adams opened Lloyd’s Carrot Cake in 1986 with a family recipe, an iconic New York City dessert was born. The muffin-like carrot cakes at these small storefronts in the Bronx and East Harlem get generously slathered with a sweet cream cheese frosting and are available with or without nuts and raisins. (Opt in if your dietary restrictions allow.) But if you ask us, their nostalgic, remarkably soft red velvet cake is even better." - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, sonal shah, hannah albertine, neha talreja
