Ok, I'm taking notes!!! I figure once I have some good prospects then we'll map out a route. Even if we don't eat at all of them, we'll have fun looking. Another thing I meant to ask, do a lot of bakeries close on Mondays like restaurants do? Thanks! Lexi

Hi! My friend & I are both novice pastry chefs (culinary grads, 2yrs working for me, 1 for her). We are planning on spending the day in NY soon and want to see as many great bakeries & pastry shops as we can. Where would recomend? Also any great "toy" stores we should know about? I've been to Ny Cake & Bakery and Bridge Kitchenware. Unfortunatly we'll be taking the train in from NJ and walking all day so we can't buy too much ::::sigh::: Thanks so much! Lexi
