Since the lockdown New Amsterdam Bakery has become my safe covid pastry haven in an otherwise well…read morelets just say, uncertain time.
Now more than ever, we need that beacon, that sunrise over the horizon to forget about the obvious risk of a warm,freshly baked pastry and it's potential ill effects. When it comes 2 risk, its safe 2 say we have become adept at restraint and the gravity of risk in general...so absolutely indulge in joy when it occurs , even seek it out and own that mo- fo 'cos this is somethin' u can totally control and feel good about it!
The gyms r closed, winter is here,surround yourself with those ppl and things that deliver joy,be good on yourself, we have been through absolute hell, foodie-wise, personally, professionally and def socially!
We will c this s- storm thru friends, in the meantime... call ahead the day b4 to pick up ur cinnamon buns with custom ingredients like raisins and extra icing ....that's how I roll. ( cymbal crash! )
So grateful 4 this bakery and their wonderful, demeanour and mad baking skills. Familiar classics from the best 'still warm' rolls,breads,pastries and decadent treats including hand made donuts, bars,cakes,cookies and even some rare goodies from another place and time you haven't eaten in decades. So do yourself a flavour favour and revisit your past with a sensory overload from yesteryear then take a bite of something new 2 start a whole new tradition for our bright future we all deserve just around the corner.
Until then,remain patient,steadfast,kind and compassionate foodie friends.
Nothing is forever so have an 'appy Nosh' and tomorrow we live to dine again...or do we "dine to live?" I'm in either way...
Keep up ur gr8ness,we got this.
