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.
For a chance to win the Classic Zabar’s basket, please comment on this post and let me know your favorite food item sold by Zabar’s or Zabars.com. I will choose one winner at random for this prize basket on December 10. Winner will be notified via email, so please include a valid email address. This prize can only be shipped within the United States. Please Note: All entries will be subscribed to my free newsletter with free recipes and weekly post updates.

December 9, 2014 at 9:43 ammy 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.
