Veniero Pasticceria and Caffe was established in 1894. Please join us as we lead a Store Front walking tour of the East Village and Lower East Side this Sunday, June 7th at 12 pm (noon) sponsored by the Municipal Arts Society of New York.

Veniero Pasticceria and Caffe was established in 1894. It is one of the oldest continuously-family-owned businesses in the East Village of Manhattan. It is currently being run by the fourth-generation owner, Robert Zerilli who told us that "We bake so many cakes and pastries that we go through about 1,000 pounds of sugar every week." We especially love their ‪#‎Italian‬ cheesecake and their ‪#‎cannolis‬. The overhanging ‪#‎vintage‬ ‪#‎neonsign‬ was installed in the 1940s. Photo and full interview with Robert appear in our book, "New York Nights".
