The New Yorker recently profiled baumkuchen (spit cake... as in, baked on a spit), saying that the closest source to New York is our own Lutz Cafe, and another bakery called Sweet World Pastry Shop. Has anyone been to Sweet World, or know where it is? I'd like to try something that, when sliced, looks like the rings of a tree trunk.

"To get long" meant to make do, to make well of whatever we had; it was about having a long view, which was endurance, and a long heart, which was hope.
