Forget brisket: Galit has prepared pastrami described as “Lower East Side meets Armenia.” The matzah is baked in their wood-fired oven. Nothing pedestrian about their macaroons, either: raspberry & rose, pistachio & cardamom, and dark chocolate & sea salt. Pickup March 27.

Hungarian by Sarah’s Tent 

Their seder box (available for pickup) serves four and offers a choice of two menus.
