As some of you may know, I occasionally contribute recipes to the Zabar’s website. I’m a huge fan of this classic New York gourmet market; I try to visit their bakery whenever I’m in Manhattan. Though Zabar’s now encompasses nearly an entire half block on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, the company has humble roots as simple purveyors of smoked fish. While the fish is still a big draw, customers can now choose from a selection of baked goods, gourmet cheese, custom roasted coffee, pick of the crop produce and a deli to die for. With the holiday season here and Zabar’s celebrating 80 years spent at 80th and Broadway, the timing couldn’t be better for sharing this amazing giveaway with all of you!
In honor of their anniversary, Zabar’s has generously contributed their beautiful Classic Gift Basket seen above, which is filled with some of their tastiest kosher treats. The basket includes Zabar’s cinnamon rugelach, Zabar’s black and white cookies, Zabar’s chocolate babka, Lazzaroni Amaretti cookies, Erica’s apricot raspberry rugelach, Zabar’s assorted hamantaschen, Zabar’s chocolate truffle filled apple, Zabar’s dark chocolate bar, Zabar’s berry nut mix, 1 lb. of Zabar’s Special Blend coffee and a Zabar’s mug.
This basket is one of their best sellers and is just one of many others from their fabulously curated gift basket selection. I highly recommend checking them out if you’re in need of gift ideas, or if you just feel like treating yourself! If you would like to sign up for Zabar’s exclusive emails and offers, click here.

Chocolate babka!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Zabars Espresso and their chocolate Rugelach! Delicious treats for all occasions 🙂
Favorite…tough choice. Cinnamon Babka, if I can only choose one.
Babka! The chocolate and cinnamon are equally my favorites. Oh! and the mustard!
Love the cinnamon rugelach!
I live in Cleveland and even though different delis try to be like a Zabar’s nothing comes even close. So sad!
Would love to win this and have a taste of what everyone is raving about!!
The bagels!
I love Zabar’s, especially their amazing black-and-white cookies.
Chocolate Babka is the most delicious snack. Reminds me of my early years and local bakeries in Dorchester/Mattapan, MA.
When I lived in NYC, I used to love their belly lox and get a pound of coffee
I really like the look of your site. Nice pics, easy to navigate
Chocolate babka is one of my all time favorites
Zabar’s makes the best Jewish rye bread in the Universe but I also love their bagels & nova and rugelach!
The blue cheeses, all of them!
I love the chocolate Babka. It’s not the holidays without it.
Love the chocolate babka!
Zabar’s Babka… And the chocolate black & whites!
my grandmother emigrated to mexico in the ’40’s from europe and could not get anything by mail from the rest of the world that had not been pilfered during shipping. every time any of us would go down to visit, her standing order was something from zabars. mostly pickled smoked fish in the early days and then as the company branched out we would take other goodies. although she could and did create ‘wonderful exotic, to us, food items, she truly enjoyed having fine food items on hand that she herself did not have to produce. since her death in the late 80’s, i had completly forgotten about zabars until i read this post. thank you for this blast from the past.
I love their coffee
I have fond memories of my friend introducing me to Zabar’s over 25 years ago. It was all about the great coffee we could buy there.
When I lived in Fort lauderdaie, I ate at alot of Jewish delisand became fond of many sweets and savory dishes. This has been many years ago.
Chocolate Banka!!
Loved the humantashen when I was young. And the babka.
Strudel – all varieties….ohhh so good!! 🙂
I love the babka and rugelach – I’m ordering some today.
oven baked smoke salmon!
I have not had the pleasure, but would love to sample their treats and herring.
Love, love, love Black and White Cookies!!!!
Black & white cookies most definitely…lol!
I miss smoked fish the most, I’m living in S. Carolina and they never heard of smoked white fish or kippered salmon here. Do I miss it.
