I always freeze a loaf or two and use it to much French Toast and Bread Pudding.

OSTROVITSKY's Bakery (yes, the one on Avenue J) has a branch on 14th Avenue near 37th/38th Street on the edge of Borough Park...can't find it?...well there it is, right inside the RIO gas station's storefront! Challah of the highest order...and not as far from home for the 'Slopers. In fact, a quick walk over from the Church Avenue "F" train or the B67 (Seventh Avenue to McDonald Avenue/Cortelyou Road) bus. If nothing else, a good geographical mind-expansion and a quick look at the homes of Kensington. Ostrovitsky's is closed on Shabbos and holidays.

Is it a Kosher bakery? I'm guessing so much, seeing as how it's Borough Park.

Items I've tried are the challah (definitely high-test), their hamantashen (89-octane) around Purim and miscellaneous fancy cookies. Mon Sep 25 14:32:18 -0700 2006 1894514 11109 Mike R.
