A bakery opened this week, and another old bakery morphed into a new kind of bakery. In addition, a new restaurant is on its way from the creator of pizza restaurants Buca and Isola.
By the Way Bakery, a bakery that started in Westchester, opened this week in the former home of Scoop Ice Cream on Broadway between 90th and 91st streets. It’s gluten-free, dairy-free and Kosher. They’re also serving Stumptown Coffee. Here’s a photo of the rabbi who’s working with them.
Baconery, the store devoted to making everything with bacon that opened in 2012, closed its location on 104th street and merged with bakery One Cup Two Cupcakes to create a new business called Amore Pasticceria.
The new bakery, located at Columbus Avenue and 107th street (One Cup’s original spot) will serve Baconery’s treats while also featuring One Cup’s baked goods from baker Jessica Eccheverria, said an employee at the new shop. Bacon + Bakery = Amore. Sounds about right.
Restaurant Arco Cafe is set to open on Amsterdam and 103rd street in the former home of Maria’s Pizzeria in about a month. It’s the newest project from Sebastiano Cappitta, the owner of Buca and Isola, two pizza restaurants in Manhattan Valley. Peter Arndtsen of the Columbus Amsterdam BID tells us it probably won’t be another pizza restaurant. “I think they are making it clearly different than Buca, he has brought in a young partner not involved in the others, but they are still working out plans.” Thanks to our tipster and photographer Kathryn Sullivan.
If you see any openings and closings, let us know by emailing: info at westsiderag.com.
they all look super cute.

Re: “… additions to the streets cape.”
Ummm…it’s “streetscape” … unless you were thinking of the disastrous (3-months on Broadway)Paul Simon bio-musical about 1959 tabloid sensation Sal Agron, “The CapeMan”
By the Way is bound to be $$$$ due to the fact that it’s kosher…. and there’s a kosher marketplace next door, with lots of kosher desserts. . Cheaper to make your own gluten free cookies. Who needs another overpriced dessert stroe (that won’t even be tasty) on the UWS. I give this place less than a year. We need some real stores that actually sell things like fresh fruit and veggies, fish, etc. Not another store that sells exactly what’s next door to it.
Re: “Restaurant Arco Cafe”
Terrible choice for a name!
Why?
cf. the Oscar-winning film Argo and its hysterical running-gag on that name as delivered by the great Alan Arkin and John Goodman!
Cafe Arco set to open it’s doors February 19th, 2014. Continental breakfast, lunch and supper. Full wine and beer list (domestic and imported).
Hooray… For Manhattan Valley
#great authentic italian Mediterranean food.
