        What!!!I was in Montreal in October. If only I had known. Now it is on my list for the Spring Trip.

          Agreed sam1, I had that one in Montreal and it was indeed GREAT. (Fully deserves the caps!)

          The DKA at Dominique Ansel is almost as great, but it's a different style. The texture of the DKA is softer and, I think, superior to the texture of the abovementioned Montreal variant. I too am interested in hearing if there are other places that offer it in New York besides Ansel.

          An other vote for Dominique Ansel.
          I tried it at the NoMad as well (it's one of their dessert) but the one at Dominique Ansel is way better ...

            I can eat stale DKAs all day. I don't think they even go stale.

              ... and while you're at Dominique Ansel, do yourself a favor and get some sticky rolls.
