Matsunosuke (CLOSED)

Find all-American treats from an unexpected source: Japanese pastry chef Akiko Hirano, who adds this white-tiled U.S. outpost to her collection of bakeshops. On the menu: banana-split brownies, cranberry-lemon muffins and chocolate-cream pie. But Hirano doesn't shy from her heritage altogether—she also offers five types of Japanese-style chiffon pancakes, including one topped with red-bean paste and house-made maple sauce.
