NYC’s 20 Top Pastry Shops | Eater NY

"One of the best things about Tomoko Kato’s namesake shop and tasting counter is that visitors can watch the chef in action: Whether she’s plating her three-course dessert tasting menu, unmolding yuzu mousse cakes, decorating vibrant green tea cheesecakes, or slicing her mille crepes cake, she’s always in motion. There’s a pleasing lightness to most of Tomoko’s pastries, but don’t miss her caramel-nut tarts, in which a pile of gooey, caramelized nuts sits atop a frangipane base. The salty-sweet crunch is balanced by a spoonful of unsweetened whipped cream." - Daniela Galarza
