The Cronut at Dominique Ansel’s Bakery, Soho, NYC
I agree I’ve arrived a little late to the Cronut mania party but I just couldn’t envision standing on line for hours, in the wee hours of the morning, waiting for something I may or may not get.
Bröd Kitchen, Upper East Side, NYC
I was recently invited to sample a spectacular new bread kitchen/ bakery that has replaced the “Hot n Crusty” (eeeks!) that was housed on 63rd and 2nd Ave in Manhattan.

Sweet Buttons, Lower East Side, NYC
Food: ☆☆☆
Service: ☆☆☆½
Ambiance:☆☆☆½
Cost: $
Must try: Chocolate Cupcake, Caramel Tart
Sweet Buttons on the Lower East Side is as cute a place as it sounds. Home to bite sized desserts, these tiny treats offer customers the opportunity to indulge more than just one dessert.
Housed in a fun space adorned with purple polka dots and sparkles, even the cupcakes shine with edible glitter. Offering everything from cupcakes, tarts, puddings and so on, one can really experiment with flavors and textures here.
The price point is great and the goods are really tasty, I think Sweet Buttons is definitely worth being checked out.
Here is some of what we ate:
