"As a Lower East Side bakery that focuses on modern Jewish baked goods, Elbow Bread’s bialys—hydrated with barley tea and made from a sourdough-yeast mix—stand out: try the classic onion or the everything bialy, but opt for the pepper version (seasonal varieties like Hatch chiles or pickled Hungarian peppers appear too), all served slathered with vegan butter." - Devra Ferst
