"This iconic West Village bakery serves some of the most expertly made pastries in the city, but Sister Pie doesn’t get nearly enough credit for being affordable, too. Rosemary cookies run for 85 cents, savory hand pies hover around $4, and flaky, buttery galettes topped with egg cost $6. When you order the galette, make sure to get the swipe of dijon mustard from chef/owner Lisa Ludwinski. You can also fill a box of pastries for $20, which in turn can feed multiple people breakfast." - Danny Palumbo
