Dough is rising near Union Square

New Yorkers take note: Wednesday is the first day of your next culinary love affair.

Breads Bakery, brought to you by owner Gadi Peleg and baker Uri Scheft, is introducing high-quality baked goods to a city always hungry for more. Peleg fell in love with Scheft's breads and cakes at his bakery Lehamim, in Israel, and wanted to bring the goods to New York. There's a lot to choose from, but be sure and try the creamy and luscious rugelach.

The bakery is over 9,000 square feet and there will be seating for about 20 people.

Breads Bakery is at 18 E. 16th St., 212-633-BAKE, breadsbakery.com
