Any of the little bakeries on Arthur Ave. are good. There's one on the corner, but can't remember it's name starts with a "P"

Immigrants follow a pattern in NYC. They hit town, open small businesses, drive cabs or go into crime. One or two generations later, their kids or grand kids are in sports or entertainment or work for the city. And their kids go to college and move to Long Island or Westchester or LA.

Veneiro's on 1st Avenue in the low 'teens is very good.

According to this list, the only businesses on Arthur Avenue that begin with a P are Pasquale's Rigoletto Restaurant, Paychex, and Peters Meat Market

If none of these places are the one that you were thinking of, then maybe the list is out of date.

It doesn't matter though, I was only thinking wishfully.  It's going to be a long time before I can visit New York, I think  (sigh)

and in the meantime I'm stuck in Seattle, which has exactly one (LOUSY) "italian bakery".  It's staffed by neighborhood kids who don't know anything and care even less, and whenever I ask them if they have cannoli they are out.

What kind of Italian bakery is always out of cannoli??

((((sigh))))
