Housed in the historic Merchant Square Building, Frenchette Bakery is the neighborhood’s preferred pit stop for their morning dose of piping-hot coffee and a delicious breakfast cookie or croissant. In addition to the assortment of baked goods, the architecture of the bakery makes for an interesting feature. The bakery comprises a series of alcoves, all serving a unique purpose. While those in a hurry can pick up a to-go, those with the gift of time can enjoy their cuppa in the comfort of the fold-down tables. The Sicilian Pistachio Croissant and the Egg Savory Viennoiserie are must-haves here.

Like bagels and lox, knishes have a special place in the hearts of New Yorkers. Knish consists of a filling that is covered in dough which is either baked or fried. Once consumed largely by Jews living in the neighborhood, the knishes at Yonah Schimmel's are now enjoyed by people from all over the city. They will even ship these wonderful and authentic treats via their Web site. The bakery has been open since 1910, and not much has changed since then-it is still run by Yonah Schimmel's heirs, and the knishes at Yonah Schimmel's Knishes Bakery continue to be filled with fresh ingredients like cheese or potatoes and baked daily.
