"Two words: stuffed bread. You can find a wide variety of Apicella’s Italian American baked goods in local grocery chains, but nothing beats ordering still-hot loaves from the narrow counter at the Grand Avenue bakery. Eggplant parmesan, pepperoni and cheese, broccoli-stuffed — they’re all crispy on the outside, soft and savory on the inside. The breads freeze well and bake off great in the oven, so don’t be afraid to buy twice as much as you assume is reasonable. Make it there early enough and you’ll be able to snag a piece of the popular Danish of the day, too." - Stasia Brewczynski
