New York: Dover Street
Market New york – Rose Bakery – It’s Tea Time. The location is the fabulous
concept store Dover Street Market created by Rei Kawakubo
“I wanted to create a
kind of market where various creators from various fields gather together and
encounter each other in an ongoing atmosphere of beautiful chaos: the mixing up
and coming together of different kindred souls who all share a strong personal
vision.”
The venue is the RoseBakery inside Dover Street Market New York, the first American franchise for
Rose Carrarini. The English chef and her French husband Jean Charles started
their bakery in Paris in 2002 and since then have expanded not only in Paris
but also inside the Dover Street’s London, Tokyo and New York locations. The bakery is open for breakfast, lunch and
tea; pastries, cakes and bread are also available for take out.
“We
wanted to create a place where people felt at home, somewhere that people came
back to often and the quality of the food shone.” – Rose Carrarini.
DSMNY – Rose Bakery. On a
cold grey and rainy Saturday afternoon, what could revive Contessanally, an
"Englishwoman in New York", more than a cup of tea and a delicious serving of
Scones with Clotted Cream and the most delicious Strawberry Jam, which I’m
told, will be available for purchase soon. After a revitalizing tea a tour
around the market is stimulating. Check out the best picked selection of
clothes and accessories; Commes des Garcons, Prada, J.W. Anderson, Simone
Rocha, Azzedine Alaia, Thome Browne and many more of the style-setting designers.
