Extra Credit Opportunity - Ferrara Bakery

Ho molta fame!

Ferrara Bakery was founded in 1892, and is New York City's oldest Italian bakery. Many Italian immigrants settled in Little Italy in downtown Manhattan when they arrived to New York.

Should you go to Ferrara Bakery (195 Grand Street between Mulberry and Mott Streets) in Little Italy and get a cookie or pastry, you will receive five points extra credit on a test! I highly recommend getting: a cannolo, rainbow cookies, biscotti, sfogliatella....

As we need to expand our culinary horizons, I will not accept gelato for extra credit...mi dispiace!

You have one month to complete this extra credit opportunity. Please email me a receipt or picture of yourself enjoying your treat by Friday, May 31.  You may also hand in your receipt in class.

My email is alaricchia@schools.nyc.gov.

You do not have to sit and get service. You may get a cookie or pastry and leave (much cheaper).

Remember, if you would like extra credit, you should take the opportunities that I give, as I do not give extra credit projects for individual students.

Enjoy!

P.S. Do not confuse the two different bakeries....La Bella Ferrara Bakery and Ferrara Bakery. Ferrara Bakery is the original, located at 195 Grand Street, between Mulberry and Mott Streets.
