The Best Desserts In NYC, L.A., SF And Beyond

All too often, pastry menus at great restaurants are overlooked, perhaps receiving only a paragraph of love in a major restaurant review. But desserts are getting stronger, becoming more daring and being treated by a select group of pastry chefs as just as important as that perfect roast chicken everyone's Instagramming.
