Spring is here and with it brings several holidays, including Pesach (Passover). This important Jewish holiday can be celebrated throughout Connecticut and whether you want your Seder dinner catered or you’d rather dine out to avoid the cleanup, this list has it all. Each one of these restaurants, delis, and bakeries either offer pre-ordering or reservations. Make sure to check with each of these listings, as they all have different ordering instructions and deadlines. Passover begins at sundown on Saturday, April 12th and ends at nightfall on Sunday, April 20th. Chag Sameach!
Fall is on the horizon and with that comes the celebration of two major Jewish holidays: Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. These events are incredibly significant to many in our community, as both are packed with thousands of years of history and generational traditions. While every religion has its own beliefs and customs, I think each culture can agree on one single truth: food is good and good food is even better. This list we’ve compiled includes restaurants, caterers, synagogues offering communal dinners, and markets, all of which are offering traditional, mouth-watering High Holiday favorites (plus a little extra). From our CTbites community to yours, we hope you have a safe and wonderful holiday season. Shanah Tovah!
Happy Spring! This season is filled with memorable holidays, including Passover. This is a special time of year when families gather at home to enjoy an array of tasty dishes, and you might look to have your Passover dinner catered this year. If that’s the case, there are many restaurants and businesses across the state of Connecticut that have special limited-time Passover catering menus available. Make sure to double-check each restaurant, as they all have different deadlines and instructions for preorders.
hef David Teyf is poised for his closeup. Two years after unveiling his elevated kosher delicatessen, Greenwich & Delancey in Cos Cob, Teyf is confident that he has perfected his vision. "I want to be the first place to take this type of food to a Michelin level," he declares with determination. Drawing on his classical culinary training from Le Cordon Bleu Paris, he seamlessly applies haute cuisine techniques to Eastern European Jewish classics with standout results, like his meticulously crafted pastrami (carved tableside with the reverence normally accorded to prime rib), pillowy pelmeni (chicken dumplings), and the perfect bowl of matzo ball soup.
