NYC's New Nordic Bakery
The renowned Danish bakery Ole & Steen
recently opened its fi rst U.S. location in
Manhattan's Union Square. An international
team of bakers whip up traditional Nordic
pastries, such as kløben buns with cardamom.
Originally known as Lagkagehuset or " layer cake
house, " cake is central part of Ole & Steen's
heritage. Be sure to try the Sarah Bernhardt
cake with macaroon, chocolate mousse, dark
chocolate and almond shavings. For something
a little heartier, the all-day menu includes
open-faced sandwiches and salads made from
seasonal ingredients. Located in a landmark
building originally constructed in 1900, the twofl
oor bakery is decorated in sleek Nordic style.
