"A massive French bakery chain opens its first New York City location tomorrow. Marie Blachère brings its sweets and breads to 301 Sixth Ave., at Carmine Street in Greenwich Village. The new bakery and cafe will serve French pastries and baked goods like fritters, tartelettes, and croissants. Expect lots of breads — the chain is especially known for its baguettes, available here for $2.20 and are buy-three-get-one-free — as well as baguette sandwiches. Salads and “pizzas” that look more like flatbreads will also be on hand along with coffee drinks, hot chocolate, tea, and juices. The cafe food is served in a casual, 50-seat space lined with glass cases of breads. A 60-seat outdoor dining space will open soon." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
