It really made my day. That must be on Murray St., just down the street from Chambers.

Ashley’s European Bakery (96 Chambers St.) is baking up Turkish specialties that are eliciting raves.

The simit at Gulluoglu is more than $2, so I really want to visit Ashley's European Bakery to see what the simit is like. Thanks for the report. Does anyone know the hours of this bakery?

With only a few ingredients to its name, this sesame-encrusted bread ring has gone on to become the most ubiquitous snack in Istanbul, the undisputed heavyweight champ of the city’s street food scene. In fact, in recent years, the plucky simit has gone to even greater heights: once only sold from carts and by itinerant vendors carrying wooden trays on their heads, the snack is now the headlining act at several new, nationwide fast-food chains with names such as Simit Sarayi (Simit Palace) and Simit Dunyasi (Simit World) (and has even made its way to New York).

Is the New York branch selling real Gulluoglu baklava? if not aren't they stealing the Gulluoglu name? I think the REAL Gulluolgu family should get a good lawyer in New York (or maybe open a branch themselves).
