Vesuvio & Birdbath

Okay, when I started reading this post about Birdbath taking over the old Vesuvio Bakery space, I almost cried- but when I read a little further down and learned that out of respect for this iconic 89 year old New York City Bakery, Birdbath {a green bakery} kept the entire facade intact {including signage!!} my frown turned into a huge smile!  Bravo Birdbath!!

    I’m so happy to hear they’re not changing the facade — it’s so beautiful! What a gorgeous little place.

    i had the same process!
    exited to stop by and try the new treats. so glad they kept the outside.
    i fell in love with that space before i moved to NY- Ports 1961 shot an ad outside years ago that was beautiful (couldn’t find the image).
