This is the ninth in a series of articles about the Broadway Market. This week’s interview features Melanie I. Krygier-LaMastra –a savvy businesswoman with a long vendor history at the market. And while this lady is “sweet” in every sense of the word, she possesses a clear vision of the market, past, present and future and is happy 
to express her opinons about all of it.
She multi-tasks around her bakery counter with ease, skills developed through decades of experience. She possesses a natural gift for treating customers like family. And although she is a decade beyond retirement age, Melanie Krygier LaMastra is youthfully enthusiastic about running her thriving Broadway Market business.
“I love the market and I love my customers,” LaMastra said. “I used to work 80 hours a week, but I only work 40 now. So to me, this is my retirement. I have a lot of wonderful customers, I’m happy and I like it here.”
