Michelin-star pastries with longer lines than cronuts making NYC return — and they’re vegan: ‘That good’
NY Post
How long would you wait for a Michelin-star treat? Even if it was vegan?
Madison Squares — made without dairy butter, eggs and usual staple ingredients for yummy baked goods — are the latest pastry to take NYC by storm, drawing lines even longer than the great cronut craze.
The plant-based delicacies are a “new take on the croissant,” Eleven Madison Park’s executive pastry chef Laura Cronin told The Post. Each is sold for $8 at the three-Michelin-star seasonal Bake It Nice pop-up.
After a wildly popular winter pop-up, it’s back for the spring season on April 19, The Post can exclusively reveal.
Cronin and her team took the flakiness, the soft interior and layers of a croissant and turned them into something new, with a delicate and fluffy interior and a crisp and caramelized outside, which she achieves by cross-laminating the dough and baking solo in rings.
The pop-up, located outside Eleven Madison Park’s restaurant on Madison Avenue, previously drew lines wrapped around the block, extending to Park Avenue. Cronin is expecting just as many people hoping to get their hands on one of these flaky goods this time around, too.
When it comes to investing, Jill Silverstein’s got it in the bag.
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
After exactly 120 years, the curtain has fallen on the Theater District institution Barbetta, with the iconic Italian restaurant having served its final course Friday night.
