I love love love this place- Fresh patries made daily in the french method. If you have a minute to wait, order some delicious food while you're at it...Just know everything takes a while here, so don't recommend it if you're in a rush to get somewhere...but it's definitely worth the wait!

This is a Michelin Star restaurant in the middle of the neighborhood on one of the prettiest streets called Greene! Stop in and try the Crudo or chill for a Martini!! Also a bonus the french seafood bar next door has $1 oysters and 1/2 off wine at happy hour... which is an amazing place to go for a refreshing snack all year round.
