Pastry Shopping

I stopped in for pan au chocolat, apple tart, and a croissant at Eclair (305 East 53 St., NYC 10022). I was the first customer by twenty seconds. The treats were delicious, and Athenians need not despair. Z Bakery's offerings, though only weekly, are on par. After the initial queue cleared out, I smiled as I listened to the owner give a French lesson to his front assistant. My French isn't so bad.
