Bien Cuit (CLOSED)

Zachary Golper and Kate Wheatcroft, the husband-and-wife team behind the revered Cobble Hill bakery, install a 14-seat location—outfitted with Carrara marble tiling and brick walls—in the West Village. Crowd favorites from the Brooklyn flagship location (almond croissants, baguettes) are here, plus new creations like a maple-yam danish and cheesecake with cassis mousse. If sweets aren't your thing, opt for a salad, sandwich or cup of joe.
