Salt stick???? I had my first salt stick when I worked on Long Island with a group of 50 and 60ish Jewish and Italian ladies. The bakery where they were bought was well-known to them, but might as well have been on the moon to my Bronxite self. I have no idea what the name was.
I hear that I can find them at a good Jewish bakery - but where the heck do I find one? I asked at work and only my boss had heard of them - you guessed it - same age group, but he didn't know where to find a bakery that makes them. He promised my great good fortune (maybe a comp day) if I found a dozen or so for an upcoming meeting, and I'm dying for one myself.
Can anyone help??
If I *must* go to Long Island, I suppose I could, but there must be a Jewish bakery somewhere in the 5 Boroughs...right?

Orwasher's Baker 208 E 78th St (between 1st & 2nd Avenues) Manhattan - 212-288-6569
I've bought salt sticks (I think they also had caraway seeds on them) here in the past, but I'd call first. Orwasher's makes a truly great Jewish rye. I don't know why, exactly, but I think my parents always called it corn rye. Slathered with a little schmaltz and a generous helping of chopped chicken liver and sprinkled with s&p, we just called it heaven. Of course, I was young and thin then and never gave a thought to cholesterol...

I could be wrong but I am pretty sure the Bialy store in the LOE sells salt sticks.

You can get them at Zabar's, though they are only intermittently available. Every time I come home to NY my mom has been prowling for them there for about a week in advance. If you can get them, buy them up and freeze them, unless I am about to visit, then leave some for me. I am assuming you mean the caraway rolls with salt, right?
