Bouchon Bakery
I wasn’t planning on blowing $6.50 to get over the mid-afternoon caffeine- and sugar-low hump today but I read about Bouchon Bakery (on the third floor in the Time Warner Center) in New York Magazine this morning and, um, it was on the way to the bank. I waited in line with a well-dressed toddler in a Bugaboo and an older woman with excellent posture, a vintage outfit, and designer sunglasses. On display were brioche, muffins, madelines, tortes, and upscale sandwiches. Selections are presented to customers on silver platters by waitstaff dressed in identical green striped Thomas Pink shirts (okay, possibly not Thomas Pink). The carrot muffin is fantastic and so is the chai latte, but I found the set-up a little, hmmm, rich? I’m thinking this is where I would spend an occasional afternoon if I were drowning in cash and self-pity.

Nice - we should go sometime. It's so hard to give up the chance to wallow in madelines, even if we have to gather the self-pity to do it.
