After DOH Issue, Cronut Mania Is Back With a Vengeance

Following the shutdown by the DOH last Friday, New York was deprived of Cronuts for three long days. But Dominique Ansel Bakery was back in action this morning, and the Cronut fans and members of the media turned out en masse. Riffing on a Rocky theme, today Dominique made a special black passion fruit caramelia chocolate Cronut with a gold star on top. Here's a glimpse at the scene on Spring Street this morning:
