New Town Bakery & Restaurant

food drink

A red and gold sign hangs above the entrance to New Town Bakery and Restaurant on Pender Street. Inside, steam rises from metal trays packed with baked pork buns, a recipe that arrived with the Leung family when they opened these doors in nineteen eighty. While the neighborhood around them has shifted through decades of urban development, the smell of honey-glazed dough and roasted pork remains the constant signature of this corner, drawing lines that spill out onto the sidewalk every single morning.
