Phillistines Bakery & Sweets
Phillistines is a Palestinian bakery in the northeast turning out traditional Palestinian and Middle Eastern sweets — more than 150 of them — along with pastries and drinks. The thing to come for is the kunafa, made with Akawi cheese and brought out hot every thirty minutes rather than sat under a light. Beyond that there are pre-made assortment boxes or trays you build yourself from the case, which is what most people are doing here: buying for a family gathering rather than eating in. It is a sweets shop, so there is no meat involved in anything they make. Open 9 AM to 9 PM Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 7 PM on Sunday.
