Subject: Wanted: bakery list

   We're about to move to Boston.  Does anyone have a list
   handy of good Boston bakeries?

Depends where you live.  There was a fellow who did a survey not too
long ago.  In the Cambridge-Somerville area, Panini is very good.
Ther is a place in Brookline whose name I've forgotten but is supposed
to be very good.

   Can one get a genuine Jewish rye anywhere?  Ditto bagels?  French bread?

I don't know about rye.  There are lots of bagel places (this is the
latest fad, apparently), some awful, some OK.

No French bread to French standards, but the good bakeries all make
some approximation, usually too sour.

The best bagels in Boston (take it from a transplanted New Yorker
who has been here for 10 yrs) is at Kupel's on Harvard St. in
Brookline half way between Beacon St and Commenwealth Ave.  By
"best" I mean as good as one of the moderate bagel places in NYC.
The Rye bread up here is nothing like that in NY, you'll have to
settle for the supermarket variety.  The best French bread is
at the chain Au Bon Pain (all over) and at a small bakery on
Beacon St (Green Line to St. Mary's) called Savoy French Bakery.
Still, nothing like the real thing in Paris.

Best Jewish Rye: Diamond Bakery in Newton (Beacon Street near Waban Village)

Best Challah: Diamond Bakery.

Best Bagels: Personal choice: Finagle a Bagel in Faniel Hall Marketplace
 (also sold at Auburndale Star Market in Newton).  Most people's choice:
 Kupel`s in Brookline (day-olds are a great deal at 8/$.95).  Also liked
 Rosenfelds (or is it Rosenthals?) in Newton Centre.

Best regional specialty: Portugese Sweet Bread (like a sweet lemony challah,
 not as eggy, makes great french toast).

Best French Bread: Clear Flour Bakery in Brookline.  This is the only non-
 retail operation.  They do sell in their bakery, but supply is limited.
 I love the sour-dough, my wife loved the Herb.  Not too far from Kupels's
 if you have a map to guide you.  I did get some superlative french bread
 in Needham recently, I think the bakery is called Bon Appetite.
 Clearflour also makes alot of other fine breads, except for Foccacia.

   If you find the Kupel's bagels too soft, you could try Katz Bakery
   (it may be Katz Bagel Bakery) in Chelsea.... They are essentially a
   wholesale operation, but they are open for retail at some times....
   I'd suggest calling them. You may also want directions....  Both
   Katz and Chelsea are a little grubby now, alas. ...

If they are essentially wholesale, it might be easier to ask them who
retails their bagels in your area...
