Dominique Ansel moved from Paris to New York City to work at Daniel Boulud's French flagship Daniel as the executive pastry chef, a position he held for 6 years. Fast forward 15 years later, and Ansel has become a household name after the invention of a certain croissant-donut hybrid, and his namesake bakery has expanded beyond SoHo to include branches around the world.
To celebrate his 15-year NYC anniversary, Ansel has crafted a picture-perfect lineup of pastries inspired by iconic NYC foods and places. They are available at Dominique Ansel Bakery in SoHo (189 Spring Street) through Labor Day (September 2).
