A Good Sign: D'Aiuto Bakery
D'Aiuto Bakery. On Eighth Avenue in the Garment District.

One of the old book jackets lining the walls of Chumley's. Eternal Shame on Bloomberg, the City Fathers, and the powers that be that this cultural landmark has STILL not been saved and reopened.
The late, great McHale's, the death of which inspired the birth of this blog.
The original, running Jeremiad on the vestiges of Old New York as they are steamrolled under or threatened by the currently ruthless real estate market and the City Fathers' disregard for Gotham's historical and cultural fabric. Est. January 2006.

3 years ago this was such a good bakery with real Italian pastry.
Now it stinks.
I wonder what happened?
