El Barrio Bakery as photographed in 2001 for our book, “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York”.

We love when the name of a particular #storefront helps identify the neighborhood it is located within, and El Barrio Bakery on Third Avenue at East 110th Street is a perfect example. The word “barrio” means neighborhood in Spanish and this section of Harlem has a high percentage of Spanish-speaking residents.
