New York City is undergoing something of a bakery renaissance. Without looking far, New Yorkers can find decadent pastries, delightful cookies, over-the-top doughnuts, loaves of bread made from heirloom grains, and baked goods representing traditions from around the world. In addition to places like Bread Alone (1983) and Sullivan Street (1994), we’ve also seen a more recent push of bakeries that includes Bien Cuit (2011), Dominique Ansel (2013), Mah-Ze-Dahr (2014), and others.
