The Croissant Club is back with ramen croissants, mozz-filled pastries and more
This year we've happily welcomed all manner of carb to the city, waistlines be damned. The winter brought a second location of Radio Bakery to Brooklyn, drawing hour-long lines in Prospect Heights, while people flocked to the East Village for the cinnamon-bun-only shop, Sunday Morning. Spring ushered in glossy ube doughnuts from online bakeshop turned brick-and-mortar Kora, while the burekas-only destination Buba Bureka generated buzz in Greenwich Village. And while not new, one of our favorite bakeries is now bringing back its croissants-only club, giving us plenty reason to celebrate. Raf's Croissant Club is officially back for spring and summer 2025, and for its latest installment, the restaurant's pastry chef Camari Mick has teamed up with chefs from around the country to create croissants that merge their respective cultures and bold flavors into one exciting dish. From now until August, these creative pastries will drop every week, only available at Raf's (290 Elizabeth St). And just like last year, Mick has invited serious talent to the kitchen. View this post on Instagram A post shared by raf's (@rafsnewyork) First up in the series is award-winning Afro-Dominican chef and author Paola Velez. From now until June 1st, you can catch her Pernil Empanada Croissant served with wasakaka, a Dominican garlic sauce, for dipping. While we eagerly await the deets on the new location of the breakfast ramen shop, Ramen by Ra, chef Rasheeda Purdie will be tiding us over with her Bacon, Egg & Cheese Ramen Croissant in June. July will bring a Mozzarella-Filled Croissant with tamarind date sauce from James Beard Award-winning author and chef Hawa Hassan, while one of the best restaurants in town, Dhamaka, will serve a Mint Croissant with lamb keema and spiced yogurt sauce. Looking to plan your summer around carbs? Here is the full schedule: May 27-June 1: Paola Velez: Pernil Empanada Croissant with Wasakaka June 3-8: Woldy Reyes: Coconut Bibingka June 10-15: Sobre Masa: Orange Blossom Pain au Chocolat June 17-22: Isabel Coss: Mole Negra Croissant with Chocolate Crema Sauce June 24-29: Ramen by Ra: Bacon, Egg and Cheese Ramen Croissant July 1-6: Hawa Hassan: Mozzarella-Filled Croissant with Tamarind Date Sauce July 8-13: Dhamaka: Mint Croissant with Lamb Keema and Spiced Yogurt Sauce July 15-20: Fariyal Abdullahi: Dorowot and Awib Croissant with Teff Crumble July 22-27: Naks: Roasted Garlic Croissant with Adobo

Let Me Tell You: why your next bar snack might be steak frites
Back in 2021, TikTok discovered the $28 never-ending skirt steak and fries deal at Skirt Steak. Banking on the single item with a few supporting characters (the aforementioned fries and a side of greens), the Nomad restaurant achieved viral status, generating a steady line of influencers and those who had been influenced. A few years later, the price climbed to $45 (thanks, inflation)—and much like anything else that achieves buzz on TikTok, the hype died down as we moved on to the next. But now the steak frites craze is back, this time reemerging at bars across the city. While taprooms and lounges that solely specialize in nuts and pretzels in bowls certainly have their place, some of New York's best food can be found bellied up to the bar. Chinatown's Sunn's draws crowds for Sunny Lee's take on banchan just as much as it does for its wines curated by Parcelle. Williamburg's Bar Madonna (our Best New Bar pick for Best of the City Awards in 2024) keeps us properly boozed with amari and grappa and fed with osso buco croquettes and the appropriately meaty and cheesy smashed meatball parm. Yet, several emerging bars are leaning into American comfort food: meat and potatoes. Possibly a recession indicator, these bars are sliding steak frites down the same stretch they slide cold beers, somehow without draining our wallets. Steak frites is the star (and only player) at Funny Bar, part jazz bar, part restaurant in the Lower East Side. The space is definitely a bit of a design mashup, formerly housing NYC's first kosher Chinese restaurant in one life (peep the red and back columns), and a country bar with a mechanical bull pit in the other (AKA where the sunken dining room resides). While a bit of a hodgepodge in decor, the menu keeps it straightforward with only four items: Bar Steak Frites with Bordelaise at $29, a 'Big Steak' with tarragon butter at $69, salad at $17 and fries—not needed if you order the steak frites—at $12. While the steak frites were advertised as an appetizer when I visited last Saturday, my group of three left plenty full with two orders and a tacked-on wedge salad. Don't expect a cooking temp question; your filet mignon arrives perfectly pink and medium-rare. The fries are a slight step above the bodega variety, best used to mop up the last bits of gravy that pools around the meat. While I wish there was more salt and pepper here, and a more robust crust on the meat, for $29, it seems like a welcome end, or I suppose, a start, to a night out. For a deal with a drink attached, you can look at Gowanus's Liar Liar. Run by four friends whose collective resumes include stints at Bed Stuy's Bad Luck Bar and Steven Graf Import, the natural wine bar was adamant about creating a food menu that matched its thoughtfully curated bottles, one that goes above what they called 'typical wimpy wine bar fare.' What resulted are ol' reliable staples, a burger with a herby aioli, a chicken fried sando with a sweet and spicy slaw and a plate of steak frites smothered in a peppercorn aioli for $30. However, the deal of the day goes to the happy hour menu, as an order of steak frites and a bottle of your choice of red wine will only cost $69. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jean 🇩🇴 (@jeaneatz) And then there's Lori Jayne, the dive-y back-kitchen at Bushwick's Alphaville, where chef Sam Braverman (no formal culinary training) is exceeding expectations of what dive bar food can be. Cooking up what he calls 'good food,' his version of bar food includes Sichuan-rubbed wings and Dr. Brown's stewed pork ladled on top of latkes. But it's his steak frites that have achieved viral status. One of the bar's most popular orders, the dish starts with a cut of chuck flap, seasoned with salt and pepper and basted with a cultured butter that's cooked down with beef trim. Sliced and placed over vinegar-brined fries, the steak is cloaked in a tingly Sichuan peppercorn sauce, a sauce that's made with freshly ground peppercorns to order. Served with a set of chopsticks for partaking, this above-the-bar (or above-the-dive-bar?) snack is only $20.
