Reviving Those Rolls at The Reher Center

 

From the 1940’s through the 1970’s, Kingstonians from diverse cultures regularly converged on Reher’s Bakery on the Rondout after church to pick up fresh-baked rolls for breakfast.

The Reher Bakery has become the Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History and on Sunday morning, March 14 th …for one day only… locals can relive the wonderful tastes and aromas of those times and reunite with the community that loved this humble bakery and kept it in business for nearly a century. Through the generous sponsorship of local bakeries (Adam’s Fairacre Farms, Boice Bros. Dairy, Bread Alone, Bread by Ellen, Cake Box Bakery, Grazianos’s Downtown Café, Half Moon Rondout Cafe, Meredith’s Breads (Gluten free options) and The Bakery New Paltz), Kingston neighbors can once again drop by the bakery to pick up fresh rolls and butter. (All NYS and County Gathering Guidelines will be followed.)

Then, at 3 PM, Sunday, at a special Zoom program, a taste-test panel of former Reher customers, Josie Waisbrot, alumna of the Culinary Institute of America and JT Pinna, baker at Half Moon Rondout Café,will share what made Reher’s rolls so special and how we might recreate them.
