Forget the Booze - Do a Bakery Crawl in NYC

While New York City has some iconic bar crawls, you can really get a drink anywhere. Here is something you won't find everywhere: historic bakeries that many have unsuccessfully tried to copy elsewhere.

There is no guarantee they will be around forever, especially if they are family-owned. So this is the kind of "crawl" that can provide the truly authentic neighborhood experience that today's destination corporate meeting attendees love. Full disclosure: this is a decadent experience- but you only live once!

Our personal favorites include cookie combos in Manhattan's Upper East Side, delicious Danish in Queens, specialty bread in Brooklyn, and cannolis in the Bronx. There is even a German bakery in Staten Island if you are looking for the kind of 5-borough crawl locals love!
