Tribeca’s New Takahachi Bakery Is Going To Make Me Fat

A new spot selling Japanese baked goods and bread, Takahachi Bakery, officially opened yesterday on Murray St. (at Church), a month later than planned. I stopped by to see what they had (you can also read about it here), and of course couldn’t get out of there without buying something from their intimidating selection. Read more »

Takahachi Bakery Finally Opens On Thursday: A new place selling Japanese baked goods, Takahachi Bakery, officially opens on Murray St. (at Church) in Tribeca on Thursday after some snags with building code delayed the May opening. Their Facebook page initially said that they would open Wednesday, but that was pushed back due to a technical problem. Finally, pastry-wrapped hot dogs can be yours.

Grazing My Way Through Lunch At The Fulton Stall Market

There are some days where you may want to eat a $15 lobster roll or $1 pork and chive dumplings for lunch. But other times it’s good to just graze your way through lunch, and what better way to do that than at an outdoor market?

Every Wednesday from noon to 6 p.m. the Fulton Stall Market holds court on South Street (btw. Beekman & Fulton St. at the old Fulton Fish Market). There were only a handful of vendors on hand when I got there for a late lunch, but more are expected to be added in coming weeks. I wandered over to see if I could construct a reasonable lunch for $10 or under from the vendors. Buttery, flakylunch goodness after the jump. Read more »

Get Free Cupcakes From Cupcake Stop’s New South Street Seaport Truck

More mobile sweets are coming to the South Street Seaport, with Cupcake Stop bringing a new truck to Pier 17 at Fulton St. starting Thursday.  If you are truly a cupcake addict and a freeloader, then you can take a picture of the truck roving around the city from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. today or Wednesday and send it to the truck via Twitter or Facebook to win four of their classic cupcakes. The cupcakes join a permanent cart from Wafels & Dinges that launched a couple of weeks ago. This only means that more tourists on a sugar high will make their way into Abercrombie & Fitch.

Japanese Bakery Opening In New Tribeca Condo Building

Midtown Lunch’er dkriese tipped me off that a new Japanese bakery was opening on Murray St. (at Church). I did a walk by, and there is indeed a place called Takahachi Bakery going in on the ground floor of a new condo building called Tribeca Space. The sign on the window doesn’t say when it’s opening, and the bakery’s unofficial Web site (aka, a Facebook page) says they still can’t announce an opening date, after an initial May 17 date was delayed by at least a week due to the Building Department. If the photos they have up are any indication, there will be breads and pastries, and hot dogs will be involved.
