New York and Boston are both great cities, each loaded with rich history and each a diverse and stunning urban landscape where people are surrounded by delicious food, drink and culture. Then there's that age old Red Sox-Yankees mutual hatred club.

It’s a rivalry that dates back more than a century and extends from baseball to food.

Boston is home to 'Iron Chef' winner Ken Oringer - the chef and owner of seven Boston area restaurants. NYC is the stomping grounds for Eric Ripert, the hunky executive chef at Le Bernardin, one of the best restaurants in the country. New York and Boston each boast some of the finest restaurants in the USA.

Boston is also a hardcore beer town, as Jim Koch's Samuel Adams is one of the most successful craft brewers in the nation, and Harpoon brewery is the pride of South Boston's waterfront. New York City has Brooklyn Brewery and each city is busting with a ton of great beer bars.

Now, Georgetown Cupcakes is entering the food Big Apple-Beantown competition when owners Sophie and Katherine open a new store in Boston and see who can sell more cupcakes – their New York or Boston store.

With the help of two iconic baseball players, Yankee legend Bernie Williams and Red Sox superstar Jason Varitek, this rivalry is sure to get heated and be settled once and for all on DC Cupcakes: Wicked Good Showdown on TLC Tuesday, October 9 at 8 pm ET/PT.
