La Pastora Bakery in the Bronx has been in business for nearly 40 years.

The third-generation owner told us that his grandfather started the business after moving to the United States from Puerto Rico and that they still use all of his original recipes. Our hearts ♥️ go out to everyone who has friends and family in Puerto Rico and hope they all recover from the devastation the hurricane caused on the island. Photo from 2006 and full interview with owner appear in our book, "Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York". #storefront
