Everyday I walk home from school/work/the gym/someplace random and I crave a baked good. Contrary to what it may seem like, there are very few good neighborhood bakeries, even in my area. Until now.
Well this is hardly a new bakery, but the former Vesuvio Bakery that opened in 1920 by Italian immigrant, Anthony Dapolito, and closed shortly after his death in 2003 to much dismay. The tenants kept the building and now owner, Maury Rubin (owner of City Bakery, and two other Birdbath “green” bakeries) is set to open December …. well 9th … but yesterday still no go. So let’s hope by this weekend.
Either way the muffins, cookies, rugelach, tarts, sandwiches are sure to please. And it’s so close!
