I went out this morning, intending to buy rye bread, and some kind of fish for dinner, and maybe a couple of things at the supermarket. The bakery we've been using for years is on 181st Street, far enough that it made sense to hop on the subway with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude.
I got off the train at 181st Street, walked down the hill, and found that the bakery shutters were down. With a sign on them reading "Store for Rent."
The fish store at 181st and Broadway was open, so I got salmon steaks, then took the bus back up here and got various groceries, including a baguette. For values of baguette implied by a New York supermarket rather than a bakery in France or Quebec: it's not the real thing, but it's an acceptable crusty white loaf.
I called the bakery's number, and got the "new" number on 187th. They answer the phone (with "Hello," but when I asked if it was Gruenbaum's they said yes), and agreed that they had moved to 810 West 187th, off Fort Washington Avenue. (Details for my own reference.) I think this means they've closed one store. I can still get rye bread, but it won't be quite as convenient as the old location.
