New York mega-church cupcake factory Crumbs Bakery opens their first D.C. location tomorrow at 604 11th St. NW. Crumbs already has a cult following in New York and L.A. only rivaled by the Sex & The City endorsed Magnolia Bakery, which no doubt gets an advantage from the SATC bus tours dropping lady-tourists at their doorstep every half hour.

D.C. may already have a bit of a saturated cupcake market, but Crumbs has cooked up a genius scheme to bring Washingtonians to their side. In honor of their grand opening, they will be giving out 1,000 free cupcakes at the new location on Friday, November 19th. No official word on the long-awaited other locations in Union Station and Clarendon (though the Crumbs Facebook page says they’ll be open “by the end of the year”) but if they’re going to be giving out free cupcakes too, I say open those babies up!
