#Blizzard work shift at #ParkSlope Food Co-op: empty aisles and empty #bread shelves, yet the #bialy bin is full for some reason #cooperatives #brooklyn #climate

Kossar's on Grand Street provides the opportunity to explore beyond the bagel to its lesser-known relative the #bialy - named for Białystok in Poland, with a thin skin and a light, fluffy interior with an open crumb. A depression in the middle holds poppy seeds & cooked onion.

Wonder if you need to be from #Bialystok to live here conveniently located just a stone's throw away from Kossar's #Bialy

You can smell the #pickles from a block away just adjacent to Kossar's 1936 #bialy conjures up memory of #AmyIrving in Crossing #Delancey spurning the #pickle man in favor of #arrogant #French #novelist

This #bialy from Elbow Bread on the Lower East Side is head & shoulders above any other I've had recently - light & airy with a paper-thin, slightly crunchy exterior, topped with sweet, roasty onion & a generous sprinkling of poppy seeds. Perfection with a schmear of cream cheese.

What's a #bialy? I'll tell you: it's a #bagel #crater

I swear by all that is holy, I will never eat another bagel! #bialy

Looks like #UpperEastSide has a new #bialy outpost

Bialys

Onions, Poppyseeds

I made my first #bialys! Absolutely delicious. I used #KingArthur 00 #flour. #Onion, bread crumbs, poppy seeds, olive oil, salt, instant years. So chewy and #delicious! @kabakingcompany.bsky.social #yeastbreads #bread #bialy #poppyseeds #homemade
