\nDo you know about Radio Bakery? Are you one of the faithful who queue up seven days a week (and twice on Sundays) in a procession that easily reaches around the block \u2013 and longer when word of a novel, just-hatched delicacy has leaked out?<\/p>\n

Since I live only a scone\u2019s throw from their Prospect Heights outpost, I reasoned that I could simply glance out of the window from time to time to ascertain whether the line had diminished, run downstairs, and make my move. And when the opportunity presented itself, I did precisely that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI returned with these two beauties.<\/p>\n

\nA triple chocolate black forest croissant…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Each was delicious (of course), expensive (of course), and sufficiently photogenic to post (of course.)<\/p>\n

But I showed you that so I could show you this. New York City’s Open Streets program transforms streets into public spaces, and in my neighborhood they closed a few streets for Halloween to feature safe, car-free trick-or-treating, live music, and arts and crafts. Practically every house in the neighborhood boasted spectacular over-the-top decorations, but this one…takes the cake.
