Fresh baked goods + wholesome snacks.
The Basics:
A great spot for a quick, healthy bite at decent prices.
What's the Deal?
The Francois Payard Bakery on Houston St. offers a huge array of ready to go meals like salads, sandwiches and soups as well as a great variety of freshly baked bread.
For the area, the prices are pretty low (a nice sized soup w an artisan roll cost around $6) and the atmosphere is clean and relaxing, perfect for a solo diner between errands (or shopping).
Weekends will be crowded while weekdays can be calm and quiet.
The Bakery is location in the South Village (or NoHo, depending on who you talk to...). It's a few minute walk from the B,DF,M/A,C,E West 4th St. station and the 6 at Bleecker Street to the East.
