Payard Patisserie and Bistro

New York lists 2,180 bakeries. Contact coverage is good, with 2,044 phone numbers and 1,637 websites recorded, which helps in a category where the useful question is not whether a place is open but whether the thing you want is still on the shelf at four in the afternoon.

The counts spread across boroughs rather than piling into one district. ZIP 10002 has 37 bakeries; 10013 has 33; 10003 and 11372 each have 32. If you are ordering ahead for a birthday or a holiday, the phone number is the field that matters, and most listings here have one. Sponsored placements are paid and are labeled as Sponsored. Bakers can claim a listing and update hours, the website, or a phone number that no longer rings.
