Why are there tons of cupcake shops around but no cookie or brownie shops?

Cupcakes are everywhere but finding a place dedicated to the freshly baked brownie or cookie is hard. Is there no demand for such a place?

Cookies had their day. Remember Mrs. Field's? Brownies were popular in NY a few years ago - Fat Witch was the place to go. Now it's time for cupcakes and tart frozen yogurt.

I also think cupcakes look more impressive so it is easier to get people to spend.

Do you go to malls? There are always cookies places selling those half cooked cookies and the brownies.

I'm sure that will be the next trend. Cupcakes are already past their prime, and frozen yogurt (which was popular in the 80s also) is also reaching its peak.

Try Dangerously Delicious on H Street (and Union Station, I think) or Pie Sisters in Georgetown.
