if you're a foodie living in LA or New York, then you'll have to check out this great bakery/restaurant called Le Pain Quotidien (The Daily Bread en francaise). This has everything from soups to luscious tarts and home made cookies.
Le Pain Quotidien is a chain and unlike other franchises you're not going to get a greasy burger and fries here. What you will get is good old fashioned French cooking and baking. They have wonderful quiches which are eggy and chock full for veggies or ham. There are daily soups served with bread. You can also buy desserts here, whether a buttery small waffle full of sugar or that French after school classic pain chocolat. Also try some of the cookies like the gingersnaps or chocolate chips.
This is also a great place to get a large bowl full of French hot cocoa as well as cafe au lait. These are more like large soups to be drunk using two hands. They also have excellent iced tea and black iced coffee here as well.
If you're visiting New York or LA this summer stop in Le Pain Qotidien. It's goo French food at American pricing.
