"After a dispute with their landlord that shuttered their original location, beloved Upper West Side bakery Silver Moon is relocating a few blocks away with a new name—No Name Bakery. It’s a collaboration with Buttercup Bake Shop, and you can expect croissants, challah, and cakes. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Willa Moore
"In the same Upper West Side neighborhood where Silver Moon Bakery closed after 24 years, an as-yet-unnamed venture is operating at Buttercup Bake Shop’s new location, with owner Hazem Elgohary running the operation and Judith Norell consulting alongside Silver Moon manager Jennifer Kronner in the same role; expect Silver Moon’s breads like loaves and bagels, sweets like cookies and cakes, and new items like bourekas. It opened on Friday, July 25, taking over the former Broadway Restaurant space." - Nadia Chaudhury
"After facing eviction and amid a lawsuit over alleged unpaid rent and overstaying the lease, the longtime bakery on the Upper West Side officially closed down on Sunday, March 23." - Nadia Chaudhury
"An Upper West Side bakery at 2740 Broadway is officially closing; its last day of service will be Sunday, March 23. Co-owner Judith Norell confirmed the upcoming shutter, writing that she and co-owner Georgia Stamoulis decided to ultimately let their lease expire. The landlord, Broadside Realty, sued the bakery (open since 2000), alleging it owed over $200,000 in rent and overstayed its lease; the closure was reported by West Side Rag." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A longtime Upper West Side bakery that opened in 2000 at 2740 Broadway at West 105th Street is the subject of a civil lawsuit in which landlord Broadside Realty alleges the tenant stayed beyond the end of its lease and stopped paying rent, accusing owner Judith Norell of owing nearly $300,000 in rent and related costs; the lawsuit, filed last week, was reported by Crain’s New York Business and says the bakery was supposed to leave when the lease ended in the spring of 2024 but did not. In a follow-up piece with The New York Times, Norell told that she “want[s] to continue to work in the same spot,” but declined to talk about the lawsuit details." - Nadia Chaudhury
