In the News: Baked Is Opening on Church Street

••• Red Hook bakery Baked—love its granola (available at Whole Foods) is opening at 279 Church, where Mulino a Vino was going to go. The folks at Baked told me a while ago about it, but I was waiting for the green light—and then the broker went and blabbed to DNAinfo. By the way, that’s also the building where Lyons Den Power Yoga will be.
