WESTCHESTER BAKERS ARE
ON THE ROAD AGAIN
As you may recall, each year the Westchester Chapter picks an area in New York and visits several Bakeries. This year the revitalized borough of Brooklyn was chosen.
The group gathered at Grand Central station and ventured to the Brooklyn Bridge area and set out on foot to see what they could learn from their southern neighbors. We began our adventure at Almondine Bakery, strolled to Bien Cuit, hiked to Court Pastry Shop, took a break, lunching at Marco Polo Ristorante on Court Street, before visiting F. Monteleone Bakery and Cafe, and finallized our tour at Baked. We made new friends, and left with new ideas for our own shops. Please enjoy our pictures.
This final one was not at any of our bakeries, but I just had to include it.
 Consider Join us next year when we we travel to the exotic.........Sorry, you will just have to wait to see where we are going.
