Jason. I have potentially weird news for you. As a big R&D head for years, I've just found out directly that they are passing off Green's babka as their own, as are apparently big places like Katz's, Russ & Daughters, and maybe even Zabar's. I can at least confirm R&D personally (eating it right now lol). The rest come from here: https://nutfreenewyork.com/2016/03/03/greens-bakery/
This is awesome! It's always babka season in my home as well, and we're planning a trip to Montreal later this summer so I'm texting my husband about Boulangerie Cheskie right now. I will add that I've made the babka from Smitten Kitchen several times. It was a lot easier to make than I expected. Show up to a party with fresh babka, and people basically think you're a god. https://smittenkitchen.com/2014/10/better-chocolate-babka/
Superb! And the hyperlink subtweet was a particular pleasure.
Hoping Saul doesn’t know to click it and has me banned.

Oyyy thank you
Babka is the official dessert of “Sunrise, Sunset.” Is just such a great line!

Arcade Bakery had great babka. Now A.L.F. in Chelsea Market is making super-good babka (not for the Brooklyn roundup, I know.)
I brave Chelsea Market once a year and will search it out. Thanks for the tip!
