Flaky pastry

I quit booze and tobacco 23 years ago, then developed a raging sweet tooth. Appeasing that tooth has made me a pastry gourmet. So, when I recommend croissants at Cafe Lumiere, a breakfast-and-lunch place on Broadway near 56th, you should listen. My daughter lives in France. She says croissants made daily at Cafe Lumiere are as good as any in her adopted land. For $8, you can get one of those fresh croissants warmed and stuffed with cream cheese and a strawberry glaze, topped with whipped cream. 5701 Broadway, www.facebook.com/
