"Unsurprisingly, the bakery from one of the best French restaurants in New York makes perfect croissants. Their plain one has a little bit of everything: it tastes like butter, has a nice chew, and also just enough flake that someone will know you recently ate a croissant. They’re not overwhelmingly large, so consider ordering the pistachio one too. Frenchette Bakery has a second location at The Whitney with a whole daytime menu as well." - willa moore, bryan kim, sonal shah, will hartman
