We were on our way to Moneyball and needed something sweet after lunch. So we passed by Epicerie Boulud, Daniel Boulud’s patisserie on the Upper West Side. M had the Blueberry Financier, a small cake that was super moist. I tried, so I know. I had the Chamonix, named after the French town. It’s a small, glazed cake with fruit in it. Very tasty. I loved the idea that you could get a little treat and take it to the standing bar. There were a few standing tables inside, and a few more outside (where you can also sit for service). I’m not sure the standing bar works well everywhere, but love it when I find one in New York.
I do love my chocolate desserts, but the tarts looked amazing. Will definitely have to come back again. And I’d love to try one of his 12 other restaurants, including the Michelin 3-star Daniel. I’ll warm up with one of the sanwiches here first.
