The hugely popular Union Square bakery — whose new kiosk in midtown’s Bryant Square Park opens today — will open an Upper West Side location later this year, owner Gadi Peleg told the Forward. Peleg and Israeli-born partner Uri Scheft have signed a lease at 1890 Broadway at 63rd Street, across from Lincoln Center.
“Since we opened in Union Square, the number-one request from guests has been to open on the Upper West Side,” Peleg told the Forward. “I grew up a few blocks away from the new location and I am excited to be back in a neighborhood that always has and always will feel like home.”

Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
