"At Crown Shy, pastry chef Renata Ameni served stellar desserts that cemented the restaurant’s success. Now, Kent Hospitality Group (Saga, Overstory) has opened its first Brooklyn spot in the old Domino Sugar Refinery in Williamsburg: Birdee, with Ameni at the helm. Yes, it’s a bakery, with a rotating pastry case — but more than that, it’s an all-day cafe serving breakfast sandwiches and a tuna melt on a croissant." - Emma Orlow
