A little slice of London has found its way to New York with Birley Bakery, the beloved Chelsea institution now also available on the Upper East Side. Bringing the same impeccable French-inspired pastries across the Atlantic, it's the perfect stop for breakfast, an afternoon coffee, or something sweet between museum visits. While everything behind the counter is tempting, the madeleines are the reason to come – served warm and so delicate they practically melt in your mouth.
