020 Lessons From an Iconic NYC Bakery with Seth Greenberg

Last Modified: Mar 8, 2024 · This post may contain affiliate links

Together, Seth Greenberg and his father baked for a combined 80 years at their iconic NYC Bakery!

In this Valentine's episode, Seth and his girlfriend Corinna came on together. They share a nostalgic classic cookie dough used for at least 3 desserts in the classic bakery: jam thumbprints, Valentine's heart cookies, and well as chocolate-dipped cookies.

They also teach us lessons from Seth's dad, who set up shop in New York after World War II. For 50 years he provided residents with baked goods for their most cherished events and life lessons to Seth. What an honor to have Seth and Corinna on today!
