It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

The mastermind behind one of the best Tribeca bakeries Madeline Lanciani, is just as impressive as the treats she sells. The pastry chef started her career with a bang by being the first female chef to have worked at the famous Plaza Hotel.
Throughout Lanciani’s career, she bopped around the Big Apple working in some of the city’s top restaurants. Eventually in 1992, Lanciani settled down and established Duane Park Patisserie, one of Tribeca’s best bakeries.
All treats are made from scratch, in house, using only the highest quality ingredients. You can taste the freshness and care that is baked into all the goods with just one bite. I’d love to sit here and tell you what’s worth ordering but honestly I can’t pick just one. Everything I’ve ever had here has somehow been “my favorite”.
