monsieur claude is the nicest man in the west village!!! he may just look a little tired becuase hes been baking these delicious bites of heaven all morning but he always wraps up my napoleans and eclairs with a smile!!! he even held onto a wallet I lost in his patisserie, and i must say, i go to paris every year and still prefer his pastries and croissants, yum!

When I lived on that block, I made several stops weekly for his pain au chocolat, which definitely rivals the best I've had anywhere.

And Monsieur Claude would always push me to use my mediocre French; then he'd give me shit about my pronunciation.

God, I miss the city.

I love J'Adore! (Bilingual redundance!) I was so happy for them to see them expand. The way the smell of coffee and croissants wafts onto 23rd St. is diabolically tempting.

Financier does excellent croissants and the patisserie is popping all over lower manhattan.

Check out this video on Croissants by Gregory Gourreau at Payard Patisserie at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. He makes the The Best Croissant on earth.
