I beg to differ with the statement that says "The bialy is little known outside of New York City". I grew up in Atlanta, GA where it was and still is very well known and loved. I had bialys with breakfast every other Sunday my entire life until I moved to Southeast Wisconsin in 1980. Since then it has been difficult to find them anywhere other than in a specific Jewish Deli on the east side of Milwaukee. Otherwise I have to drive down to Illinois, where they are HUGELY popular in the Chicago metro area and suburbs.

I partly agree. But bialys are rare outside of densely populated Jewish communities.

I'm going to modify the statement slightly. Here in Albany NY they're found in local supermarkets like Price Chopper and Hannaford. Albany has no larger a Jewish community than most upstate cities, but it is only a few hours from NYC. Saxophobia (talk) 18:27, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Pronunciation

How do Americans pronounce 'bialy'? Could somebody add it? (IPA version, please).

I don't know from doing a IPA version but I pronounce it: bee ah lee
