Melting Butter: NYC Food Find - Prohibition Bakery

Prohibition Bakery turns the speakeasy concept upside down with its basement store tucked away on the Lower East Side. Here, booze meets bakery, where a range of miniature cupcakes are injected with a cheeky dose of liquor. The Pretzels & Beer cupcake is a best seller, and combines ale, Nutella, pretzel and white truffle to lend a creamy, salty yet sweet aftertaste.

Co-owners Brooke Siem and Leslie Fienberg added their own piece of home with black and white family portraits of their ancestors adorning the walls, reminiscent of the prohibition era of the 1920s. Whilst the store is cozy and not quite large enough for a sit-down area, Prohibition Bakery hits the sweet spot. After all, where else can you boast that you’ve had an afternoon tipple, sampling some of the finest liquors for under $10?
