"For one of the city’s best croissants, head to Simple Loaf. The 5th Avenue bakery makes them equal parts flaky and buttery, but we also like their kouign amann, and the savory roasted tomato kale danish. Pick up a box and take it on your Saturday morning stroll, or stay for a full breakfast or lunch—there’s a big seating area in the back, and a quiet patio for the warmer months. Either way, make sure croissants are a part of the equation. Besides the plain, we like the over-the-top chocolate and almond, and the somehow-even-more-over-the-top ham and cheese. They often sell out, especially on the weekends, so plan accordingly. " - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman
