Gertie is back, making a move from Williamsburg to Prospect Heights, and version 2.0 transforms what the beloved "Jew-ish" spot was known for into a modern, New York-style bagel shop and delicatessen with loads of neighborhood charm. The new location at 602 Vanderbilt is counter-service, offering hand-rolled bagels, latkes, deli favorites, homemade baked goods and specialty drinks. Nate Adler opened Gertie back in 2019 to much acclaim, and recently debuted nearby Gertrude's with wife Rachel Jackson.

Among the wide variety of delicious Hanukkah foods from around the world, one of his favorite appetizers is, itself, a unique delicacy to those who are unfamiliar. "If you want to cook like a baller Jewish grandmother," Zimmern explained on his website, "this chopped chicken liver is a great place to start."

Rosh Hashanah is the lighter side of the high holidays, with observers encouraged to eat challah or apples dipped in golden honey to usher in a sweet new year.
