I’m a big fan of almond croissants. Second is chocolate and third a classic buttery croissant.

Oooh you've got a developed palate...fancy

Classic buttery goodness for me... dough on butter on dough on more butter. My tastebuds could never find their way around the almond and the chocolate...at least not yet

I have to agree with you on the croissants 🥐. They’re an elite pastry.

Oooh "elite pastry" I like that... I'll only be eating those in the future... And to be clear, cornbread is on the list. The variety. The versatility.

I never knew about that library, it looks really comfortable. I love the lighting in there, at least from your photos!

It opened 10 years ago, so pretty recent as far as libraries go. Were you still in NYC then?

And yes, all the natural light distracted me lol hence me losing my shades.
