The Best Black and Whites in NYC Are at a 112-Year-Old Bake Shop

"It's late afternoon on the Upper East Side and Herbert Glaser is hard at work upholding his family's legacy, one apple turnover at a time. The third generation owner of Glaser's Bake Shop (1670 First Avenue, 212-289-2562), he follows many of the same recipes his father first used 112 years ago. Herbert's grandfather, John, first opened the doors to the shop in 1902, during President Theodore Roosevelt's first term and a full decade before The New York Highlanders became the Yankees. The sweet treats from Glaser's native Germany were an instant hit in the area, which was once known as Germantown."
