Syrena Bakery begins serving Greenpoint's Polish community with pastries and breads
Atlas Obscura says Syrena Bakery has served its neighborhood since 1993. Besides the pączki sold on Tłusty Czwartek, or Fat Thursday, it offers Eastern European breads and sweets, among them sernik, a farmer's-cheese cheesecake, cheese babkas, pijak, a Polish counterpart to tiramisu, and strudels of poppyseed and of walnut. According to the owners, customers who have moved away from Little Poland still return, sometimes from thousands of miles off, for a taste of home.
