KOSSAR’S has been baking bialys since 1936, and its GRAND STREET shop has been at number 367 since 1960. The bakery’s own history connects the bialy to the food traditions brought to the LOWER EAST SIDE by Jewish immigrants from Białystok. That history gives a simple breakfast order a little context without turning it into a museum visit. KOSSAR’S details.
PLAN THE VISIT
If you are putting together food for the morning after an event, consider bialys alongside bagels rather than overlooking them. Check the current menu, quantities and pickup arrangements, especially for a larger group. Keep spreads separate, label what needs labeling, and make sure the person collecting the order knows which KOSSAR’S branch you mean.
