Not sure where you are in midtown so chains are easier to get to: Maison Kayser, Lady M, Paris Baguette. Not sure if Bouchon have cakes but they have other treats.

Paris Baguette is always a safe bet as a chain. Lady M is also good but their cakes are quite pricey relative to others.

Little Pie Company also has cakes, in addition to pies.

Juniors is usually decent if cheesecake is appropriate for the occasion.

Whole Foods has surprisingly awesome cakes if the Bryant Park location is convenient.

M1 thank you! The little pie company looks so good and meets my requirements!!

Go to plaza hotel food hall and you will find many delicate bakeries.

Thanks! I went w the pie company M1 recommended. Was for my Moms bday and they had good things!

Also Magnolia Bakery is very NYC

Magnolia is rubbish these days.

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?
