Umpleby's Bakery & Café

My family and I live in Bridgewater so I wasn’t able to get to Hanover yesterday as all the roads leading in and out of the town were washed out.   We made our getaway early this morning  on Rt. 4 before the local officials could stop us.    We’ll see what happens when we return home this afternoon.

But importantly – we are open and back in business today!!!

Because of the storm we have decided to close today at around noon.   The sandwich station will be open today from 11am until then so if you want to pick up a sandwich to eat later when the power goes out come on by before then.

Be safe.

So there is a hurricane coming, eh?

Well,  we’ll be open on Sunday so come on by for a latte and watch and hear the rain and wind beating against the windows.    I would say the patio will be open but I guess that is silly to say unless you bring your oilskins

I used to work in the City at Gramercy Tavern while living in Brooklyn and I read how they are shutting down the subways at noon tomorrow.  While I guess I can understand their reasoning on expecting the worst I know it certainly would be a drag if I was still working there and had the Saturday PM shift.  I can assure you Danny Meyer didn’t pay us enough to take cabs from Carroll Gardens to Gramercy!  P.S. I loved the job but it wasn’t because of the money!!

So, I’ll be thinking of all you NYC kitchen staff tomorrow night. Good luck and Godspeed.
