4:00pm apple tart

It's a bit of an insider secret, but Claude's Patisserie is THE place to go for the closest thing to a French croissant you will ever taste on this side of the Atlantic. So who would have guessed that his pastries are as equally divine? Well it's true. His magic extends to desserts as well. Amazing.
Claude's Patisserie, 187 West 4th Street btwn 6th and 7th Aves
