Today, we are highlighting another Jewish-owned small business in honor of Hanukkah. Jay Dee Bakery in Forest Hills, Queens was in business for over 60 years before it closed in 2009. It was well known for its chocolate marble cake, pies, and custom birthday cakes. We especially loved its gorgeous #storefront with Art Deco details and its reverse channel neon sign complete with a unique script #font. Our 35mm photo appears in our book “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York”.

We are not the only ones who appreciated its facade, the Estate of James Yancey used our photo of Jay Dee Bakery for the 12” first press clear vinyl release of J Dilla’s long lost vocal track (that had never before been released), “Give Them What They Want”.
(Swipe left for 2nd photo)
The first press 12” featured clear vinyl atop a Jeff Jank-altered photograph by James T. & Karla L. Murray.
