In addition to a number of bakeries who sell at Union Square like Bread Alone (try their olive loaf and scones), there is Breads Bakery on 16th Street which makes great babka, and ocassionaly carries some of the best hamantaschen around. I go up to Grand Central sometimes to Zaro’s Bakery for their Black and White cookies among other things. They also have amazing hot pretzels which are as fresh as any in the city. On the way out if you go through the fresh market near Lexington Avenue, there is an Eli’s (of Zabars) that also has baked goods, including their amazing tea ring with raisins and walnuts.Billsvillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-40820641637285143982019-03-07T10:07:38.096-05:002019-03-07T10:07:38.096-05:00I have been buying my black and whites here since ...I have been buying my black and whites here since July of 1979.

Walking past it 3 times a day for so long and looking at those delectable treats in the windows was always brought a happy feeling to me.

So for them to close up, unceremoniously after 50 years, without giving anyone a chance to make one more visit to pay respects and get something sweet, is such a disappointment and such a sad end to a cultural and neighborhood staple, especially because they sold a product that you cannot readily find in the city in this day and age... <br /><br />Some of us don't live in the neighborhood anymore, and you bet I would have dragged my ass all the way there for a few apricot hamantaschen one last time.<br /><br />And to read that White Horse Tavern may have just gotten sold.... its starting to feel like every little victory, every little win we get for the little guy or an independent business, every step forward comes with 5 steps backward....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
