2 Best Shopping in Utica, Albany and Central New York
Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Utica right now.
A food lover's delight awaits at Bleecker and Albany streets 1 mi from downtown. Here, in the remnants of an old Italian neighborhood, Uticans wait patiently in line for freshly made pastries, bread, and tomato pie (pizza-like squares that are eaten at room temperature).
Florentine Pastry Shop
Crisp-and-creamy cannoli are $1 each, and chocolate pasticciotti (small custard-filled pies) are 80¢ at the Florentine Pastry Shop, open since 1918. Enjoy your treat with a cup of coffee in an adjoining storefront room decorated with maps and photos of Italy.
