Cookbook author Naama Shefi on her go-to Hanukkah gift shops in NYC
Briefly

"In a city where we constantly eat out, it's very special to have a holiday that inspires a series of home parties. It's tradition to eat foods fried in oil, dishes that go very well with martinis and wine. I also live on the Lower East Side, where you can see menorahs shining brightly through the many windows."
"It's a known tradition among Jewish people to spend Christmas Eve over Chinese food and, since the holidays overlap this year, I'll definitely be at Wu's Wonton King eating their signature wonton soup with some nice Riesling I'll bring along."
"I love to find unique gifts in vintage and second-hand stores. I recently found some very cool Tom Dixon salad tongs (brand new, but old) and a gorgeous set of butter knives at Vintage Thrift in Gramercy."
"Coming Soon is the ultimate gift shop in my neighborhood (and beyond). I always find unique, whimsical items there: beautiful cocktail glasses, games and golden fortune cookies."
