Orwasher's is another old New York business. The family-owned bread bakery has been at the same Upper East Side location since 1916. While it no longer has sawdust on the floors (as it did in my own childhood) the bread is as fantastic today as it's always been. Because everything is baked fresh daily, it's best to get your bread in the morning, to asure the best quality and the softest rolls. I particularly recommend the onion pockets (in regular and jumbo size) and the raisin cinnamon bread. Wonderfully, their website provides photos and ingredients lists for all of their products. Not listed on teh site is their small selection of dessert items, that usually includes kosher choices as well.
