"Germans are big on baked goods, but most of the myriad German bakeries that once populated the landscape are now long gone. But Ridgewood is still a hotspot at Rudy’s, a-dyed-in-the-wool German bakery, where strudels are still the top item and customers come for miles to get a taste of its Black Forest cake, stollen, anise drops, and spekulatius cookies." - Viktoria Muench
