Fodor's Expert Review François Payard Bakery
Upper East Side
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Famed French pâtissier François Payard has multiple boutiques around the city, but this location is the largest. Chocolates, pastries, and macarons are displayed like jewels in glass cases. The baker's cookbooks, jams, and other foodstuffs are also available. If you need to calm the sugar rush, there's a small dining area serving dishes like croque monsieur.
