| | | | | | Le Pain Quotidien is a chain that touts organic products and a homey vibe. The tables are rustic and many of them communal. All this comes at a premium. DMR and I ate at the one on Madison Avenue, on the Upper East Side, a section of town we are hardly ever in. Dan actually worked in this neighb...

I don't know about the rest of the country but there is some fierce cold kicking it's way around the city. Knocks you out with a fever for several days, followed by a ton of coughing and a whole lot of phlegm. Ick. No fun. ...

They have an ingredient book so you can check before you order something. Mezze plate is great but pretty large so I suggest sharing. GOod bread and preserves and generally at least one vegan so... Read More | | | | | | Oh Le Pain Quotidien, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways… Even though you are chain, you manage to make the experience in your bakeries unique, thanks to 1) your quaint, farm-housey atmosphere, 2) your creative, high-quality food, and 3) your commitment to organic products, sustainable farmi...
