Dominique Ansel Bakery

One of NYC's best and most well-known patisseries has more to offer than just cronuts (its world-famous doughnut-croissant hybrid), including buttery kouign-amman (Breton cake), gleaming berry tarts, and the Paris-New York, a chocolate/caramel/peanut twist on the traditional Paris-Brest. If you insist on a cronut, head in by 7:30am on weekdays (earlier on weekends) to beat the 'sold out' sign.
