Michaeli Bakery

A new bakery in NYC has arrived and it is absolutely DELICIOUS. Thanks to a dear friend of Ken’s from boarding school, Newmie, she always sends me lists of everything new and cool that she loves in the city.

It also has TWO locations — one on the UES (401 East 90th Street) and one on the LES (115A Division Street).
