Some of New York's Best Pastry (and Plenty More) Is in Astoria
Briefly

Feteer is a luxurious, ghee-glossed pastry that combines delicate layers with toppings like Biscoff Cookie Butter and pistachios, creating pure, elemental pleasure.
At Levant in Astoria, I tried feteer in various forms, including one with qushta, a cream infused with orange blossom syrup, and another with spiced meats and cheeses.
Crafting feteer requires skillful dough stretching, allowing enough thinness without breaking, resulting in a pastry that supports rich, creative toppings easily.
Each bite of feteer evokes memories of other beloved breads, like freshly made poori and rich, blistered tortillas, connecting deep cultural roots.
