Last September, my boyfriend and I went on a roadtrip from Montréal to New York City for Labour Day weekend. I’ve travelled to NYC on 3 previous occasions, but this was his first visit. This end-of-summer escapade was his birthday celebration, making this trip extra special. Of course, a baker on vacation in NYC always has an ever-growing list of bakeries to visit, so I’m sharing mine with you:
