If you have never been to The Tin Building, you are truly missing an incredible experience. This food market from Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten is superb, with my favorite spot being their bakery that proposes delicious items, similar to what you would get in France. My favorite is their brioche au sucre that is better eaten there, as the sugar will fall in the bag on the way home, and their pain aux raisins, that is sticky, flakey and buttery, with a bit of almond paste in it and a perfect amount of raisins. Simply delicious! But I would not miss their almond croissant that is fantastic, their buttery and flakey croissant, and their chocolate croissant that is filled with Valrhona chocolate, not some cheap chocolate bar for sure.
They also have a bunch of pastries and cookies, but I admit that paying $18 for a Paris-Brest that is one of my favorite pastries is not something I would do. However, their $5 chocolate chip cookie or linzer raspberry cookie are to die for.
So, no wonder why this is my favorite spot at The Tin Building: everything is delicious and, as you enter your nose is filled with that buttery smell that can only open your appetite. The only problem is that everything looks so good and so, you do not know what to order! Price wise, these items are between $4.50 and $6 that is reasonable considering prices elsewhere and the quality of these items. I highly recommend this place!
Enjoy (I really did)!
