Pastrami on Rye with House-Made Pickles and Deli Mustard – $5.75

lchaim epcothoilday 8222 — Pastrami on Rye with House-Made Pickles and Deli Mustard – $5.75

With well-seasoned pastrami and a lovely mustard, this was one of the best sandwiches at the festival. It came with a great pickle as well. This is highly recommended.

Smoked Salmon Potato Latke – $6.00

lchaim festival of the holidays 6 — Smoked Salmon Potato Latke – $6.00

The Salmon Latke is a really great deal for the price, considering how much salmon is provided. This latke also has plenty of capers, which surprised us due it being a higher-price ingredient. The dill sour cream on top adds a nice flavor with the potato and salmon mixed in. Creamy, salty, and with a slight herby kick from the dill, this is a great latke, and a great option from the festival overall. Our only complaint about the latkes is that we wish they were a little bit crispier, but it’s still really good.

Potato Latkes – $4.50

lchaim festival of the holidays 14 — Potato Latkes – $4.50

A salmon-less version for the vegetarians, these latkes are are delicious, even though they seem to be made out of mashed potatoes, rather than the traditional shredded potatoes. This is the same dill sour cream that was used in the salmon latke. If you’re not a fan of dill flavoring, we recommend you pass on these.

NEW Rugalach: Pastry filled with Raspberry Jam, Walnuts and Cinnamon – $4.25

The pastry is way too thick when it should be very flaky. The filling was just okay. Honestly, we recommend skipping all of the desserts at this booth.

Black and White Cookie – $3.00

2023 foth lchaim holiday kitchen 8481 — Black and White Cookie – $3.00

This is a dense cookie that’s somehow still very dry. The base of the cookie is vanilla, with a thick frosting on top. In fact, the frosting was so thick, we had trouble getting the cookie off the plate.

Brooklyn Brewery Winter IPA, Brooklyn, NY (7.0% ABV) – $5.75 for 6 oz., $9.75 for 12 oz.

From Brooklyn Brewery: “This classic IPA layers Simcoe and Trident hops for notes of dark fruit, blood orange, and bright, frosty juniper and pine aromas. A touch of rye spice notes warm the finish to keep you cozy to the core.”

Frozen New York Whiskey Sour featuring Manifest Whiskey ($53/bottle) and Manischewitz Blackberry Wine ($7/bottle) – $12.50

frozen new york whiskey sour 1 — Frozen New York Whiskey Sour featuring Manifest Whiskey ($53/bottle) and Manischewitz Blackberry Wine ($7/bottle) – $12.50

This is light on alcohol, and very forward on the sour flavors. The Manischewitz is poured on top, almost like a floater. It’s refreshing and great for the hotter weather. It’s not too strong or powerful, with a little bit of fruit punch flavor. All in all, this is a great drink. We’d get it again… maybe one for each night of Hanukkah!
