I am an enthusiast who has been baking for a bit over a year now, mostly with sourdough. I started because the bread I tasted in France was so amazing and different to what I am used to in South Africa. I will be visiting New York City for a few days soon and I would like to visit any artisanal bakeries that would be willing to let me spend some time there to observe. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try [url=http://www.amysbread.com/chelsea.htm][u]Amy's Bread[/u][/url] in Chelsea. Great neighborhood to explore.
Stop at [url=http://www.carnegiedeli.com/][u]Carnegie Deli[/u][/url] for a slice of cheesecake. They have great deli sandwiches, too, but if you have to make a choice, go for the cheesecake!
Have a wonderful visit to a great city.
Try AQ Kafe near Columbus Circle. They do some really interesting breads in a Scandinavian vein.
I also really like Almondine in Brooklyn for baguettes and croissants
