Babka loving
Polish off a big slice of babka at Northside Bakery, which specializes in the yeasty treats of Poland. The bakery’s two locations — one in Williamsburg and the other in Greenpoint — are also whipping up traditional mazurek cakes, which are topped with festive bunny decorations.

Italian renaissance
When the moon hits your eye like a big Easter pie, that’s amore. Villabate Alba in Bensonhurst, where the Alaimo family has been slinging Sicilian baked goods for 36 years, serves up the savory seasonal pies also known as pizza rustica, alongside almond paste lambs and a range of egg-glazed Easter breads.

Food of the gods
And the feast does not have to end on April 5. Greek Easter is not until April 12, so get a second serving at Cooklyn in Prospect Heights, where chef Anthony Theocaropoulos will be honoring his Hellenic heritage with a special Easter dinner featuring dishes such as roast lamb, egg lemon soup, and beet salad.
