In Short
While many Jewish bakeries in Manhattan have, sadly, moved out to the boroughs or closed shop altogether, Moishe's -- an East Village institution -- is still going strong.
There's challah, of course, and such Jewish staples as rugelach, mandelbrot, and babka. The rye bread, pumpernickel, and hard-to-find corn rye are coveted favorites.

Apparently Moishe doesn't make croissants very often, but when we went in there a few years ago he had some in the window. We were expecting a buttery regular croissant, but it wasn't like that at all. It was warm, and it looked like a croissant, but it tasted like a danish. It was the best thing I have ever eaten in my freaking life. We visit the city a few times a year and always come to Moishe's, but never again did he have them. We did ask about it and he told us that the next time we come, to please call the day before and he might be able to whip up a batch. I love that this is a hole in the wall and as far as NYC bakeries go, this is the best kind. Nothing flashy, just a hole in the wall and I think it makes everything taste better! Like buying baked goods from someone's kitchen rather than a store. My sister had some trouble ordering mondel brot; the ladies up front got it wrong twice and they were kind of perturbed since they cut it for her and then couldn't use it (apparently). I think they were giving her marble for chocolate or vice versa; it was REALLY confusing. But like with so many places that are melting pots, I totally give them a pass even though my sister was about to flip her lid. Anyhow, if you ever see croissants BUY ONE. I'd be clinically obese if I lived in NYC.

Must haves: kickles, babkas, marble sponge cake, seven layer cake, and freshly baked cheese and prune danish. Although I live on the UWS I try to swing by at least once a month. Throw the seeded rye in the freezer; throw right in the toaster and apply butter in emergency.
