this is great as i grew up in Knickerbocker village and Great now and then photos. nice surprise to see the history of the neighborhood.
Are the photos of Savoia taken by your father? I am a contributer reporter for www.OurChinatown.org, a blog on Chinatown. In my next post, I write about my summertime favorite treat, the Italian icee from Savoia's. I'd like to be sure who to give the photo credit to when including it in my post. Please let me know.

oh.. I see that the photos were taken by Anthony Favazza. Thanks.. I will put his name as credit to the blog.
I grew up in the Al Smith project went to 9 am Mass at St. James and stop to get the Sunday News and the Journal American and off to Savoia's for hard rolls, jelly doughnuts and of course I got to pick a pastry. Italian Ices in the summer 5 cents for small 25 for large with a pretzel rod. THE BEST EVERY. I live in New Milford, NJ nothing ever is right for me anymore. Thanks for the memories.
I also grew up in the Smith projects, but I will never forget the delicious Italian ices from Savoia's. Mr.and Mrs. Savoia were the nicest people.
You can't get ices like that anywhere.

Looking at the pictures of Savoia Bakery, it appears to be located at 37 Catherine Street.

It's JoAnn. And it was 37 Catherine. Many good stories. I remember serving myself lemon ice from the refrigerator case topped off with a salted pretzel stick. Hope all are well.
This is Denise Giachetta. My dad owned Savoia with my "uncle" Anthony (Sonny) Favazza. Seeing the store is great... In fact, the photos are in a book I got for Christmas last year about the lower East Side.... It was a family.... all kinds of uncles real and otherwise worked there over the years.
I grew up around the corner on Henry St.and Savoia Pastry was where we would go for our birthday cakes. They made my "Sweet 16" cake which was a huge sheet cake. Such wonderful memories...I turned 70 last year.
