Savarin Restaurant

After spending roughly three years working in Connecticut, Vanzetti returned to New York to practice his trade as a pastry chef at the Savarin Restaurant at 120 Broadway.

"My friends counseled me to get back to my profession as pastry cook. The unskilled worker, they insisted, was the lowest animal there was in the social system; I would have neither respect nor food if I remained such. So I went back to New York and quickly found employment as assistant pastry chef in Savarin's Restaurant on Broadway." ~Bartolomeo Vanzetti

Just eight months later, Vanzetti was unexpectedly discharged, apparently without any compelling reason.
