9. Elizabeth Street Gallery is located in the former G. La Rosa & Son bakery
At 209 Elizabeth Street, there is a sign that has survived for decades after the closure of its bakery G. La Rosa & Son Bread Company. The 1850s building is a renovated firehouse, and its facade has remained mostly the same over the past few decades. According to the blog Bobo and Chichi, the bakery catered to movies including The Godfather. The cannoli from the movie, immortalized by the line “leave the gun and take the cannoli,” was prepared by the bakery.
Today, the building is occupied by Elizabeth Street Gallery. The collection includes items such as a folk art stand selling for $75,000, a vintage Louis Vuitton leather luggage set, and a 1910 sundial sculpture among its featured items. The gallery sells everything from gates and fencing to case pieces to lead urns and mirrors.
