There is a particular week in July when New York kitchens declare a truce with their ovens. We respect the decision. Ours, for the record, have been on since 1946, and they are not stopping now. When the forecast makes baking unthinkable, let the bakery do what the bakery does: fruit tarts, lemon bars, butter cookies, and cakes, all made fresh daily and ready when you are. Stop into either of our New York locations, order ahead for pickup, or have same-day delivery bring dessert to your door without a single degree added to your apartment. Dinner can be a salad. Dessert should never be a compromise.
