Deli Delights
Just in time for Hanukkah, the acclaimed Mamaleh’s Delicatessen (One Kendall Square, Building 300, Cambridge, 617-958-DELI, mamalehs.com) hosts a mini-version of Boston’s premier Jewish food festival, Beyond Bubbie’s Kitchen, focusing exclusively on that quintessential potato treat: the latke. For $35 (tickets can be purchased at jartsboston.org), hungry visitors can join Mamaleh’s staff on December 20 at 7 p.m. to learn what goes into making a delicious variety of these circles of fried, starchy goodness. Not available that day? Then check out the wide range of deli fare served night and day (including all-day breakfast) at this establishment that was hailed by Boston magazine as one of the best new restaurants of 2016.
