The oldest bialy bakery in the United States, Kossar's Bialys has been handcrafting its bialys, bulkas, pletzels and sesame sticks for over 65 years. 
We make pickles from an old Eastern European recipe “just the way mom used to make them.” Storing them in barrels, from a day up to six months, the pickles cure as they sit. Along with pickles, we also brought back old traditional items such as: Pickled Watermelon, Cabbage Rolls, and Cabbage Heads.
On the Lower East Side since 1937, Economy Candy is an old-fashioned, family-owned candy store that sells hundreds of kinds of chocolates, candies, nuts, dried fruits; including halvah, sugar free candy and of course all the old time candy you had when you were a kid.
