Cream Puffs Invade...


There are actually two places. I'll start with the one that I found first. Apparently this was a craze in Japan, and someone from Japan decided to bring it to NYC with GREAT success.

Do NOT go in unless you want to buy, because you will buy and eat and enjoy with a huge smile on your face. Whatever diet you thought you were on... gone.

Choux Factory

I had this temp job working for a pharmaceutical company near the U.N. Late at night, I would go for “choux runs” and bring them back to the team. This is how good they are.

Apparently they serve other things. I would concentrate on the cream puffs.

Beard Papa Cream Puffs

Voted best cream puff in 2009 by The Village Voice – which is extremely cool. Apparently the one downtown is closed, so visit the uptown ones if you can. Fresh pastry filled with unctuous cream. It's really how you would have dreamed them to be.

Here is the award-winning review: http://www.villagevoice.com/bestof/2009/award/best-cream-puffs-1436565/
