There are an uncountable number of bakeries, big and small, located around the greater Upstate New York region.  And we have featured many of them in previous galleries over the years.

This one is a little bit difference.  For this gallery we look at eleven of the best bread bakeries in Upstate.  We have featured cookies, pastries, cakes, cupcakes, and other delicious items before, but this gallery is all about bread.

In fact, we tightened it up a little and you will see that each bread bakery that we feature actually has the word bread in its business name!  Now that is confidence!  These bakers, while selling lunches, coffees, pastries and more, are so proud of their artisanal breads that they have include the word bread in the sign on their front door.

These bakeries can be found all over the region, from the Hudson Valley to Buffalo.  Some are in big cities and others are in little map dots that you may have never even heard of (Wadhams, NY anybody?).  But they are awesome bakeries and they produce spectacular loaves of beautiful breads.  And the combinations of flavors and ingredients in these specialty breads is limited by the baker's imagination only.

Be sure and take a moment and click on each of the eleven links and take a look at their products.  Drool Alert.....these are sumptuous photographs!

These Upstate Bakeries Prove That "Man CAN Indeed Live By Bread Alone!"

There is something about a bread bakery that just can't be matched. It is impossible to resist the aroma of big baker's ovens stuffed with rows of bread baking to perfection. We highlight that in this gallery.

We have done many galleries over the years about fancy bakeries in Upstate New York. This is just a bit different. For fun we have provided a list of eleven of the best bread bakeries in the region, but each one has the word bread in their name. So take a look. And be sure and click on the link to each bakery. The photos of what a master baker can do with a simple loaf of bread are incredible.

These are works of art!

These are all pretty Much "mom and poo" independent bake shops, so you wont find Freihofers or Jim Roma or any other of the legendary bread names on here. And if your favorite bread baker (with the word bread in their business name) didn't make our list, please visit our Facebook page and give it a shout out. We really do want to hear from you!

These Presidents and First Ladies Were Born in Upstate New York

Presidential historical sites are always popular for history seekers and road warriors to seek out. Several presidents were born in New York State, and several others are buried in the state. But most of these sites are in New York City and environs (Theodore Roosevelt, Ulysses S. Grant, etc). There are several presidents and their First Ladies who were born in our Upstate region and this gallery takes a look at them and their birthlpaces.
