Wow, that's an amazing story, John. Would you consider posting the recipes on Serious Eats? Maybe we can find a pastry chef who will test the recipes.
I would love to work with you on getting these recipes on Serious Eats.

Mrs. Herbst's did not close because the ethnic enclave was disappearing. It close because the 3rd generation had moved on (for example, one is a physician in L.A.) and because the land had become so valuable that it was inevitable that it would be sold. But what a fabulous bakery it was. I have a loose-leaf binder with ALL of the Herbst recipes (including non-bakery food items). Long story - but my grandmpother and the original Mrs Herbst were friends in Hungary and came here at the same time. And my non-Hungarian wife can make a pretty good Dobos Torte and palascinta.

Oh yeah..fresh clotted cream, west coast, east coast, Canada...I don't care, I will travel (though not all the way to England, mostly because I don't have the time) for them.

I believe it's out of a jar...but if anyone knows where we can get it fresh, inform us please! :)

Is the Tea & Sympathy clotted cream real FRESH clotted cream or the stuff out of the jar?
Scones, clotted cream and jam!
Tea & Sympathy in the West Village has real clotted cream...though I personally feel that the best scones are to be found at the upper west side location of Alice's Tea Cup. Go in the morning, right when they open and get any scone that hust came fresh out of the oven - you can't go wrong! They have the most wonderfully moist interior with a buttery crisp surface. If you're lucky enough, you might run into the blueberry-ginger flavour or pumpkin cream cheese, their savoury scones are also worth the extra calories, heheh...^_^
Scones, clotted cream and jam!
I see alot mentioned about scones, but do any of these recommendations have real clotted cream? After all, that is the best part of afternoon tea, right?!?

Awwww I'm sad you can't have my Joan Scone's. I bake them to order and they are the best in Western NY. People just call me Sconie!!

I know it's out of your way, but I can vouch that the scones from Alice's Teacup are quite tasty. I've also had some good scones from teany on the LES. Do let us know if you find a good place in the 30s.
