For indecisive New Yorkers who want babka and cheesecake, you’re in luck: Breads Bakery is making Babka Cheesecake for Shavuot.

The cheesecakes were such a hit that they’ll be serving them through Shavuot this coming weekend, until June 13th.
We’re big believers in cheesecake mashups. In fact, we’ve come up with a few of our own, including Black & White Cookie Cheesecake (below) and Rugelach Bread Pudding Cheesecake.
