Be it bun, loaf or baguette, sourdough, focaccia or pumpernickel, Amy Scherber has made many a New Yorker's six to 11 servings a day all the more enjoyable since opening her Hell's Kitchen shop in 1992 with just five employees. Now with two additional retail stores (Chelsea Market and Greenwich Village), a staff of over 100, and more than 200 wholesale deliveries daily, her citywide operation is much more equipped to fill the demand for such delights as prosciutto and black pepper bread, raisin walnut, or semolina with raisins and fennel. In addition to whole-grain goodness, Amy's offers an array of excellent sandwiches, decadent pastries and some of the city's best cupcakes.
"[Amy's Bread] supplies more than 100 restaurants and stores with their daily bread. Not that the growth has killed any of the charm; if we didn't know better, we'd think the master was still ... baking it all herself."
