Best sources for Hanukkah goods and products: NYC & suburbs?

Question

Looking forward to sharing our favorite traditional Hanukkah specialties with friends and family. Maybe even some untraditional additions. Some we will cook ourselves, some we just don't anymore. Looking for the best sources for latkes, jelly donuts, brisket. Who sells the better ingredients, or prepared holiday foods in New York City, or the burbs? Though we are in Westchester County, we are willing to shop around...

Answer

Silver Moon Bakery on the upper West Side makes awesome Suvganiot (jelly filled Israeli doughnuts) throughout the holiday. They also have Israeli Tahini Shortbread cookies. 2740 Broadway @ 105 St in Manhattan.

Answer

We have shopped Fairway for the Jewish Holidays in the past. We have one near us in Westchester, as well as Whole Foods (not sure about their holiday line), and Supersol Kosher Markets in New Rochelle and Scarsdale. Zabar's is terrific, of course, and will try to stop there on the way to visit my kids this coming month. By the way, those jelly donuts from Silver Moon Bakery look great! Perhaps some remember the holiday goods at the former Food Emporium when it was owned by the Daitch family. Always fully stocked. I believe now they have been absorbed by Key Foods...

Answer

Orwashers makes killer, filled-to-order jelly doughnuts in several flavors, although I'm not sure whether they exactly qualify as sufganiyot. Fairway sells very nice latkes at the deli counter, but I've only had the thicker ones. Zabar's and Citarella are probably also good bets. I also know that Fine & Schapiro and Fischer Bros. & Leslie on W. 72nd sell a wide range of prepared kosher meats and side dishes (including specials for all the Jewish holidays), but I don't have enough experience to vouch for either of them. N.B. Fischer Bros. is quite expensive.

Answer

A pilgrimage to Boro Park in Brooklyn will net you everything Hanukkah-ly possible. The Kollel Harabbayyim, a huge Kosher emporium on 39th Street between 13th and 14th Avenues, has a take-out counter and the grocery department is overflowing with all the potatoes, oil, gelt and candles you can handle...and has its very own Mikvah. Paperific on 38th Street near 15th Avenue is a bit quieter, not as extensive a selection, but worthy nonetheless. Sunday will be totally wild in the 'hood, so shop on a weekday or arrive real early.
