Lee Lee's Baked Goods

The 22 Best Bakeries in NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"This little Harlem bakery has been churning out some of the city’s crunchiest, most satisfying rugelach since the ’80s. It’s run by Alvin Lee Smalls, who started making the pastry originally from a newspaper recipe. The chocolate, raspberry, and apricot are all nutty, raisin-studded, and topped with sparkly brown sugar (or a stripe of chocolate). The rugelach are the stars, but if you're looking to load up on other baked goods, go for the black and white cookies and crumble-topped pies, or a moist carrot muffin." - willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
