Have you gained a few pounds in the last few weeks? Well, it’s not over yet! Épiphanie arrives this Saturday, January 6. New York pastry chefs rolled up their sleeves to offer you classic and unusual galette des rois (king cake!) throughout the month of January. Here’s a non-exhaustive list that will be updated as necessary.

Le District (Lower Manhattan) – $24.50 – 32.50

The French market on the southern end of Manhattan offers two types of galette: the traditional galette, available for 4-6 people ($24.50) or 6-8 people ($29.50), and a chocolate-pear galette for $32.50. Individual units are also available for $5.00. Fèves and crowns accompany the galettes. 225 Liberty St. Website 

Ladurée (SoHo) – $28 – 52

At Ladurée, galette comes in several sizes, for 4 ($28), 6 ($39), and 8 ($52). Individual units are for sale for $7 (because sometimes you just need one more slice). Ladurée also sells a box of macaron-shaped fèves. 398 W Broadway. 646 392 7868. Website

Dominique Ansel (Manhattan) – $40.00

Not only does he know how to make cronuts, but he also knows how to make galette des rois. Dominique Ansel proposes a galette for 6-8 people for $40.

Pre-order from Dominique Ansel Kitchen in West Village (137 7th Ave S) here, and from his SoHo location (189 Spring St) here.

Cannelle Pâtisserie (Queens) – $18-28

French Tart (Park Slope) – $29.50

To mark the épiphanie, chef Laurent Chavenet imported fèves from France representing well-known paintings and statues.

Financier (Manhattan) – $29.50
