The vibrant yellow entrance at, From Lucie is nearly as picturesque as the cakes and sweet treats served at this terrific bakery. Influenced by French traditions and cuisine, each of her cakes are styled on a bouquet of flowers: they're almost too pretty to eat. Though when you stop by, the sea salt chocolate chip cookie is a must!

What launched initially as a pop-up (from the team behind the sourdough sensations at Leo's) has turned into one of NYC hottest bagel spots. The bagel itself is crispy, fluffy, with the perfect amount of chew and is then layered with all the classic toppings. Our favourite has to be the open-faced smoked salmon, cream cheese, and caper: is there a better brekky than this?
