Lauded French pastry chef Francois Payard opens his fifth NYC location on the Upper East Side. A street-facing boutique sells chocolates and cakes; farther inside, order a coffee or a glass of wine at the teakwood bar. In the 32-seat dining room, dishes like a croque-monsieur and chicken salad are on the lunch menu, and a prix-fixe option is available for brunch.
