I had not been up to la Marqueta under the Park
Avenue 1290 Park Avenue (113 Street -115 Street) railroad tracks in many years. Established by Mayor Fiorello La Guardia
in 1936 as the Park Avenue Retail Market to give the street peddlers a home
base, it changed with the neighborhood.
Now known as La Marqueta it has since fallen into disuse. It is on its way back: The HOT BREAD KITCHEN
has their production bakery there as well as a retail counter and Dorrie
Greenspan has opened BEURRE & SEL in a small space to produce and sell her
cookies.
Ms. Greenspan has teamed up with her son and to make very sharp edged , well crumbed tasty cookies in a variety of flavors and two sizes. My two favorites are the classic butter sable and coconut lime. The cookies are cut out and baked in round stainless steel forms to maintain their sharp edge.
The three inch cookies sell for $2.00-$3.75 each, the smaller size is smartly packaged in a clear tube holding 14 cookies for $14.00
