Caputo’s is the one I was thinking of.
Jerome Ave in the Bronx used to have great bakeries – I’m with Biff. I love the old fashioned ones better than the new chi-chi ones. I remember one or two down in Carroll Gardens but it seems a lot more have come up along Court St. since I left (the nerve!)
DIBS, when it comes freebie food hand-outs, there’s no such thing as calling shotgun for exclusive rights. It’s he/she who shoves & maintains optimal position for the freebies, gets the freebies. if not, stare at the crumbs on the ground and regret you didn’t push more aggressively
Dave…did he also smuggle hot latin boys in those sacks? Ha!
Biff, could you direct us to some pics of muffin tops???
m4L – Thanks!
Muffin pan…interesting idea.

My great grandfather had a bakery in Glens Falls back in the 20s & 30s. I heard that they smuggled alcohol from Canada in grain sacks during Prohibition.
