"... but koko you can just save money in NY by cooking all your meals and never eating out"

Bouchon Bakery
Location: Midtown/Columbus Circle

• This bakery is not only in one of my favorite NY buildings - the Time Warner Centre - it is inspired by French boulangeries - YUM! Totally reminds me of my summer in Paris (which reminds me I still have to do my Barcelona and Paris posts! Ah I'm so bad!)
• The French pastries are to die for. The coffee filled eclairs, chocolate croissants, and chocolate bouchons rival Paris' very own.
  
• Another fave is the TKO - an OREO inspired cookie filled with white chocolate ganache. OMG I die.
  
• This bakery also a great selection of soups, sandwiches and quiche for lunch time.
  

Momofuku Milk Bar
Location: East Village

• Do you dream of Willy Wonka coming to life? If yes and if you are a fan of innovative sweets this place is for you. I will say no more let me tell you about some of the menu items:
  

--> Crack Pie: Toasted oat crust and gooey butter filling.
--> Ice Cream Flavors include Milk Cereal and Sweet & Salty Cucumber.
--> Compost Cookie: Pretzels, potato chips, coffee, oats, butterscotch & chocolate chips
--> Candy Bar Pie: Chocolate crust, caramel, peanut butter nougat & pretzels.

• This place also has some of the best pork buns in the city, and features a different bread every day.
  
• Pastry chef Christina Tsoi was selected as a part of Bon Appetit's 2009 Hot 10 for her creative use of cornflakes and other crazy ingredients.
  

oh wow... I really need to start cutting down my sugar intake. From now on - I will refocus my energy on boot hunting ! Next week - DSW here I come!

hugs & heels!
