Bakeries
Radio Bakery in Greenpoint is the laminated-pastry one to know. L'Appartement 4F and Mary O's both started during COVID, necessity bakeries by their founders, and have stuck. Kora in Sunnyside is Filipino-Italian fusion done at a high level.
Thea is the Fort Greene bakery from the team behind Theodora, one of my favorite restaurants. Israeli-Mexican pastry, sandwiches on homemade challah. Hani's in the East Village may have the best chocolate chip cookie in the city.
