NYC Bakery Alf Bakery Is Closing in Chelsea Market | Eater NY

"Known for baguettes (including laminated variations), buttery croissants, and babka inside Chelsea Market, this bakery will close its current location on Christmas Eve, December 24, with its last day at 435 West 15th Street between Ninth and Tenth avenues. Owner and baker Amadou Ly announced, “All good things must come to an end,” and tells Eater he plans to relocate the bakery to a better location to improve foot traffic and revenues and eventually offer wholesale; before that, he plans to spend some time in his home city of Madrid. Opened in 2023, the bakery reflects Ly’s background at Tribeca’s famed Arcade Bakery (which closed in 2019)." - Nadia Chaudhury
