In a city with such strong ties to Jewish heritage-namely the Lower East Side where Jewish immigrants settled in the early 1900s, and pockets of Brooklyn, home to one of the largest Orthodox Jewish communities in the world-it's no secret that some of the city's best and most nourishing bites have deep historical ties to Jewish culture, with influence from Eastern Europe, Morocco, Israel, and everywhere in between.
To make things easier for more observant travelers, too, we've noted which are kosher. These are the most quintessential Jewish and Jew-ish spots to visit this holiday season, and well beyond, no matter what holiday you celebrate.
Gertrude's... this new Brooklyn spot brings a young spirit to Jew-ish staples, including latkes with crème fraîche and trout roe, babka french toast, and brisket hash.
Oh, and don't miss the Black & White Seven Layer Cake, a mashup of two classic Jewish desserts: black and white cookies and seven-layer cake.
