When it comes to famous TriBeCa spots – nay, famous New York spots – The Odeon is a biggie. The 80s was its true heyday, but in recent years The Odeon has seen a resurgence. Once again it is populated by the haute couture gang, thanks to Condé Nast’s recent move to nearby One World…

Maison Keyser is a Parisian bakery that’s gone global. The contents of the case are exactly like what you would expect from a traditional French patisserie.

If you ask just about any New Yorker what’s on their brunch bucket list, the name Balthazar will likely pop up. On any given weekend, the line is out the door. Even on a freezing Sunday like we just had, the wait was over an hour. This French bistro is as close to Paris as…
