Harlem Goes Haimish With Bo’s Bagels
Walking home from the gym on West 116th Street I spotted Bo’s Bagel’s, a new place I’d heard about recently. Hungry and curious, I stopped in.

Recipes From Bubbe’s Kitchen: Chicken Paprikash
I had a beautiful Hungarian grandmother, born Erzsébet Weisz and redubbed Elizabeth Weiss when she and her parents and brother and sister moved to New York from Miskolcz in the 1920s.

Anwar Mohamed beams as he sets down a yellow-and-white speckled plate of ful, stewed fava beans redolent of hard-boiled egg and salty cheese — and reminiscent of simpler times.

I Ate A Crab Knish While Talking Treyf At Jewish Banquet
“Am I a bad Jew?” I ask myself, finishing off a third miniature bacon-peanut butter pie. I might, under other circumstances, be able to brush the feeling of guilt away.
