"This corner spot in Chinatown used to be home to Mel The Bakery (a former staple of this guide, until they moved upstate). Now, it’s where a former baker from Sadelle’s kneads and shapes exceptional savory items, like an airy bialy with caramelized onions, as well as more sugary things, like rich pecan rugelach and a double-welled, ethereally crisp coconut danish. If you think palmiers are usually boring, try their sweet-and-savory caraway rye palmier." - willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
