They say that you can eat with your eyes, right? Well, that’s what we’re asking you to do as we show off some of the wares from the city’s best bakeries, as chosen by our Best Restaurants judges. First, you’ll get all the carbs you could want with this selection of doughy delights. Then, we’ll show off some cake and pastries that are so good, you’ll want to skip the main course and go right to dessert. That’s OK — we won’t tell.
