You don’t have to do more than glance into the window of Moishe’s Bake Shop at 115 Second Ave. to know that this store is the real thing — the king of kosher bakeries in Manhattan.

You’ll see platters piled with traditional Jewish noshes like hamantashen, rugelach, mandelbrot, sugar kichels and chocolate babka, pastries baked the way your grandmother did before the Atkins Diet spoiled everything.
In fact, Moishe’s is the last of the authentic kosher bakeries still remaining in Downtown Manhattan where baking is done right on the premises. It’s a Lower East Side institution that recently celebrated its 35th anniversary, but whose roots go back nearly 60 years when owner Moishe Perl’s father first got into the baking business after coming to America from a Nazi concentration camp. thevillager.com
