Modi: Bakery | New York

This compact storefront on 20th Avenue was known for a straightforward layout and traditional recipes. Beyond the standard loaves, the kitchen was recognized for its lobiani—a savory, non-sweet bean pie—and eggplant with walnut sauce, alongside spinach salads and cornmeal patties. Visitors often chatted with the owner for recommendations at the counter. Though the business is permanently closed, it remains remembered for these comforting Georgian staples.
