Could a French bakery pick a better opening day?

St. Germain, a French-inspired bakery named after an upscale Parisian neighborhood , opened its doors yesterday in Ponce City Market's Central Food Hall in time to celebrate Bastille Day.

Helmed by Christine and Jean-Marc Metairie, also the owners of Atmosphere restaurant in Morningside and business partner Heather Jourdan-Gassin, the bakery offers French pastries, specialty breads, sandwiches and French classics such as macarons and croque monsieur.
