The Other Croissant 
First came Dominique's Ansel famous Cronut, and now there is City Bakery's  pretzel croissant. Like my experience with the Cronut, I was skeptical at first, but after a few bites, pleasantly surprised. I also got a mixed berry scone, which I intended to be my actual breakfast, but I ended up finishing off the speciality croissant and pushing my scone to the side. I enjoyed the pretzel croissant because it is not only delicious, but it also confused me: this pastry has the flaky and buttery texture of a croissant but the saltiness of a pretzel. It tasted like I was eating a pretzel, but felt like I was eating a croissant. Who doesn't want to try that? The pretzel croissant joins the Cronut as a clever and delicious convergence of an American classic with a French one.
