Frenchette Bakery at the Whitney

"Frenchette Bakery at the Whitney Museum of American Art From renowned chefs Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson, Frenchette Bakery at the Whitney is an offshoot of the Tribeca restaurant and its nearby bakery, an informal space with great views of the Meatpacking District separated from the lobby of the museum by a dramatic wall of plants. In the morning, an assortment of pastries are the order of the day, while lunchtime and afternoon bring a compact menu of soups, pizzettes, sandwiches, and pastas, all at what can be regarded as bargain prices given the high quality and interest level of the food. Expect a gloppy salade Nicoise sandwich, a roasted vegetable soup, a pumpkin agnolotti, and classic croque madame with a runny egg on top, along with a selection of wines and coffee beverages. Cafe prices range from $12 to $32. 99 Gansevoort Street, at Washington Street, West Village"
