March holidays — which do you celebrate, and how?

San Giuseppe Day, March 19.

Takeout and Delivery in [Toronto]

North Pole will have both baked and fried Zeppole di San Giuseppe the week before St Joseph’s Day (March 19). My last visit with a friend before the initial lockdown took place on March 13, 2020, and I had stopped at North Pole specifically to purchase the Zeppole di San Giuseppe. I posted about it on Chowhound, but not on HO. My friend took a photo of the Zeppole from North Pole. I think we liked the fried version a little more. [image]

Hamentaschen are available now

Hamentaschen (Manhattan)

It’s been years since I’ve had one, but I love the way hamentaschen look. I will say that Hamentaschen I’ve had in the past (grabbed, most likely, at the corner deli) never tasted as good as they looked. The fillings were fine, but the dough was stodgy and dull. (I doubt it contained any butter.) Can anyone here recommend a source in Manhattan—a decent bakery, maybe—for better hamentaschen? Thanks!

Ramadan. While I’m not celebrating Ramadan, I am enjoying some of the special foods being offered during Ramadan.
