Alvin Lee
Smalls of Lee Lee's Baked
Goods in New York Leads Celebration of
the Third Annual National Rugelach Day
Recognized by the National Day Archives
NEW
YORK, April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Monday, April 29 is 'National
Rugelach Day'
National Rugelach Day celebrates the diversity of this
delicious, textured cookie and its rich history. Rugelach is a
crisp cookie with a buttery soft, flakey center
that is made of rolled pastry with flour, butter,
cream cheese, cinnamon, raisins, walnuts,
spices, and fruit or chocolate that dates back
centuries. Rugelach is widely known as a Polish and Jewish cookie
predating the year 1650. National Rugelach Day was created to
increase appreciation for this diverse, culinary treasure, bringing
together various cultures through its celebration and expanding the
palate of every person who consumes it.
Alvin Lee Smalls, Owner of
Lee Lee's Baked Goods, better known
as "Mr. Lee," has been baking up some of the world's best
rugelach for over 50 years in hopes of educating and sharing this
delicious treat with everyone. After reaching out to the National
Day Archives in 2022, to have the day established, rugelach's
fan base has continued to expand.
"Rugelach is something that has always been near and dear to my
heart, so I thought why not recognize and celebrate such a special
little confection with the whole world. This day has been
designated for everyone to celebrate and enjoy the delight of
rugelach wherever you are!", says Alvin Lee Smalls, owner of
Lee Lee's Baked Goods.
In honor of the 3rd Annual National Rugelach Day, Lee Lee's Baked Goods is throwing an all-day
celebration to encourage both rugelach lovers and rugelach "first
timers" to go out and enjoy rugelach at their nearest bakery.
Kicking off at 11:00 AM on 4/29/2024,
at Lee Lee's Bakery in Harlem, will offer a 20-minute session for
"rugelach first timers" to come in and enjoy a free piece of
rugelach while learning how to prepare and bake it.

at 283 West 118th Street and is open seven days a week from
11:00 am to 7:00 pm. Lee Lee's also offers both local NYC delivery
