We did venture into Hoboken the other day on a not good for bread day - lots of rain and humidity. The bread was still above average for France or US. The place is not much to look at but worth the visit. What was most interesting was learning that they still fire the ovens with coal, not environmentally friendly but definitely bread-friendly.
Since we were in Hoboken, and so close by, it was required visit to Fiore's for a mozzarella and pepper sandwich, across from my old apartment on Adams street between 4th and 5th. Back in the day before Carlos' bakery moved to Washington Street and became famous via "Cake Boss" the bakery was on Adams next to Fiore's. Made a mean cannoli. Now, I probably can't afford to buy a cannoli there and definitely not a cake.
So, it's not France, but almost Italy.
