Jewish family that left Egypt in the 1950s took their kunafa and baklava to NYC

**#9 A Jewish family that left Egypt decades ago took Mansoura Pastries, their family-run bakery, with them to Brooklyn, where they settled in 1961, Matthew Sedacca writes for the NYT. The Mansoura family, which traces its roots to Egypt and then back to Syria, founded the family business in 18th century Aleppo, then moved to Cairo in 1910 where they opened up a second store in Harun street in Dokki. Generations later, Mansoura Pastries is still serving traditional Egyptian delicacies such as kunafa and baklava in New York City — and exporting i small batches all over the world.
