Orwasher's Bakery

Orwashers is a New York City institution. Founded in 1916 by a Hungarian family, the bakery began as a small storefront in the UES. It was borne out of a desire to serve the local immigrant community and focused on high quality rye, black, and grain breads that reflected their homeland traditions.
