Erica Price: Streit's


EricaPrice_Streits_b.jpg


New Yorker Erica Price gives us a last glimpse at the Streit matzo factory, which recently left Manhattan's Lower East Side for a new home in New Jersey. Streit's kosher food was established in 1916 by Aron Streit, a Jewish immigrant from Austria, and the factory was making matzos at their Rivington Street location since 1925, operating two 75-foot ovens, producing 900 pounds of matzo per hour. 


Before they moved, not only did they let lovely Eric in, but a crew also made a documentary. Good stuff!
