An Uptown Girl's Essential.....

A visit to Payard for dessert. Even though Payard serves delectable French cuisine it's the pastries and tarts that are so mouthwatering and delicious. Payard's is a chocolate snobs dream, I had the opportunity to visit back in February. Everything was freshly prepared and visually appealing.
