RICHMOND HILL, QUEENS
Sybil's Bakery & Restaurant
Little Guyana's ticket-line bakery — pepperpot with plait bread, cook-up, pine tarts and cheese rolls on Liberty Avenue.
Liberty Avenue is Little Guyana — sari shops, roti counters, Chinese-Guyanese restaurants and, in a triangular building near 133rd Street, the bakery that the neighborhood lines up at every day of the year. Take a ticket and wait your turn. The case is long, the counter busy, and the regulars know exactly what they want.
Come for pepperpot, the dark, cinnamon-and-cassareep stew of Guyanese Christmas, eaten with a slab of plait bread. Chicken cook-up is the other plate to know. From the bakery side, take home pine tarts, cheese rolls, currant rolls and a Guyanese chicken patty. Seating is minimal, so most people eat on the go or carry a bag home.
Editor’s tip
Order pepperpot with plait bread, then buy a few pine tarts and cheese rolls for later.
