Le Petit Parisien 8.4
Upper East Side-Lenox Hill-Roosevelt Island
Le Petit Parisien is a compact Upper East Side café built around Parisian-style baguette sandwiches and croissants. Regulars stop in for crusty jambon-beurre–style sandwiches, espresso, and a quick sit-down that feels a bit more European than the average neighborhood deli.
