The address written on her shirt is located in San Rafael, California (a city in Marin County, near San Francisco).There's a bakery located there today, but I'm not sure what it was like in the early '90s.

Since her remains were found near JFK, I wonder if she wasn't local to the area/possibly from the Bay Area and visiting NYC?

That address appears to now be a strip mall of some sort (mostly w/ restaurants).

Belinda Brewster seems like a decent match - missing from San Francisco in 1991, 5'7" Black female (like this Doe)

Not the exact same address but it is the same store:Where the Wild Things Are- JD#UP100686 - Newspapers.com

The store moved from San Anselmo to San Rafael in 1975.
