Honoree: This co-naming honors the centenary of Conti's Pastry Shop. Augustino Conti arrived in New York from Parma, Italy with only his knowledge of baking cookies and cakes. He found work in a bakery, and in 1921 opened his own bakery on Victor Street and Morris Park Avenue the Italian-American Van Nest neighborhood of the Bronx. Since 1928, Conti’s Pastry Shoppe has been at 786 Morris Park Avenue. With its present owners Sal and Senada Paljevic and Christina DiRusso, Conti’s is still known for its legendary Boston Cream pie.
