"If you’re like us, the guilt of not seeing your extended family has sunk in like a sponge attempting to boogie board. That’s where places like Shelsky’s come in handy. This year, you can ship your relatives a massive Hanukkah feast package, which comes with pretty much everything but the menorah (including dreidels and chocolate of varying waxiness for kids and adults). In case you’re just looking for a few latkes and other deli goods, you can also place an order for pick-up or delivery at either their Cobble Hill or Gowanus locations. It’s worth noting that Shelsky’s makes both potato latkes and sweet potato and celery root latkes, and they have some t-shirts that would make for excellent Hanukkah gifts." - hannah albertine
