Whole Earth Bakery & Kitchen hangs on
Whole Earth Bakery honoring, Mother Earth Since 1978, continues to fight eviction, and Peter Silvestri needs your help! Before his mother died at 94, Filomena Silvestri died knowing the community is a village and not NYU-ville and we won a mini-miracle and her business was not thrown out on the street. She was the vegan Earth Mom of the East Village. We need to hold on to treasures like this bakery so please help in any way you can.
Her son Peter endures the constant threat of eviction he calls "landlorditis". Now so many other small businesses have closed but the bakery hangs on.
I asked Whole Food to come to the rescue and make room in their Houston St. store front to literally house a small business and we did have a conference call but no surprises there.
If Peter does move this small business it would be the third time because of gentrification. He and his Mom moved to St. Marks Place and their first day was the Tompkins Square Riots as rioters exited the park and threw garbage cans threw store windows along St. Marks Place.
