Quick tip

If you find yourself with an out-of-towner for a few days, you don't necessarily have to eat these creme brulee doughnuts, these bialys, these pistachio cupcakes, these burgers, these chocolate almond criossants and macarons (pictured left), and this roasted lamb pizza in a three-day span to be a good host. You might want to cut out a pastry or two to avoid feeling like a sugar-coated whale.
