Twice the price: That's the premium for Madison Ave. compared with Canarsie.
And though I didn't sit them side by side, if anything the hamentash from William Greenberg Jr. Desserts ($3.50) was a tad smaller than its opposite number from Teena's Cake Fair (or, for that matter, from the former Gertel's). To its credit, though, the uptown hamentash had a richer, not-so crumbly shell, the sort that bends a bit before it breaks, and the poppy seed filling (click on the photo below for a closer look) was moist and free of bitterness.
