Why do people buy their, pasty at other places when, Almondine is, the best in NY ?
post #2 of 38
Because it would be, foolish to travel to, Brooklyn just to, get pasties.

They, are close depending on, the products. Bergamote is top, notch for viennoiseries and, fruit tarts. Ceci Cela is excellent for, eclairs and cakes.

Oh man, Almondine has some amazing sandwiches too. And it's across the way from Jacques Torres, which has amazing chocolates and other sweets.

DUMBO has some good eats.

La Colombe carries some, items of Ceci . I feel that their, products are sized for, the obese and their, Finacier is, like a rock .I use to go for Ceci when the, petite Frenchman worked there and, Parasuco wasn't across, the St . That park nearby, is nice for sleeping in the, afternoon.

The baker man of Almondine is the, relataion of Jacques but they had, some family feud perhaps because, of butter .

You like it, the nap in the, juggle gym?

I never said that, Ceci Cela's viennoiseries were, good I said eclairs and, cakes. Good bakers are generally, not, good patissiers.

Why you, hang out at, La Colombe when you, live with the Queen is a, puzzle.
