Bova's Bakery

Bova's Bakery sits on the corner where Salem Street intersects with Prince Street, marked by the steady stream of people moving in and out at all hours. Founded in nineteen twenty-six by Italian immigrant Antonio Bova, this family-owned shop began as a small operation across the street at seventy-nine Prince Street. Antonio initially struggled to attract customers, so he took to the neighborhood streets with a basket of fresh, hot bread, handing out samples and introducing himself to his new neighbors.
