Kourosh Behnam: Great place for pastry. I wish the coffee was just as good. The creme brûlée was a bit eggy. One of the best tiramisu I have ever had.
Serious Eats: A small bakery with some excellent pastries. Don't miss the fresh croissants.
Zayed Khan: One of the better pains au chocolat I've had in NYC. Buttery w/o being heavy, perfectly flaky, and a healthy amount of filling (double chocolate rolls: rich and not overly sweet).

Sexy LF: Hidden gem of midtown. If you love buttercream frosting, incredible banana pudding and cupcakes in every variation (ube, anyone?) go here!
Tarrah: Red Velvet cupcake is by far the best in the city!! I also suggest the Peanut Butter & Jelly cupcake- jelly filled with peanut butter frosting ;) Read more.
New York Habitat: Get the banana pudding and some red velvet cupcakes. Eat it all in one sitting, rinse, repeat.
Kelly A: Expensive, but beautiful! I love this hotel, they really treat you great and the views are great! Great location. Hotel with many productions filmed here.
melissa welirang: For Gossip Girl fans, walk into the front courtyard. See anything familiar? :)
