Latkes from Russ and Daughters
If you can't make it to your bubbe's house this Hanukkah, take the F train straight to the Lower East Side for the next best thing. Russ & Daughters, a 106-year-old institution, makes an exemplary version of the traditional potato pancake: Its classic latke—about the size of a coaster and perfectly thick—has a deep-brown crust concealing a lush interior of grated potato, onions and bright scallions. 179 E Houston St between Allen and Orchard Sts (212-475-4880). $2.99
