Astor Bake Shop (CLOSED)

On weekend mornings, the bright and cheery bake shop teems with toddlers nibbling cinnamon apple pancakes or pecan sticky buns while their parents sip strong cups of Stone Street joe. Leave your resolve at home: One look at the enticing display case and you're bound to splurge on a mini red velvet cupcake or browned butter blueberry tart for the road.
