But let’s get real, it wouldn’t be a holiday in the Kaplan household without Sift Cupcakes. They sure do taste as good as they look, and there is still time to send your loved ones a sweet treat in honor of the Festival of Lights. I recommend the “Ooh Lala” and the “Sky is Falling,” Sift’s version of a red velvet and chocolate cupcake.     Along with the holiday season comes fabulous festive outfits! Already having dabbled with feathers and sequins, for this seasonal look I was inspired by the whole “ugly Christmas sweater” thing. This black and blue fringe skirt was my Hanukkah version, and I styled it with black accents. The studded turtleneck helped create dimension, while the faux fur cropped jacket added drama – something every special occasion ensemble should have. I accessorized lightly with statement earrings, a cocktail ring, and cupcakes.   Order your ugly Hanukkah skirt by texting Current Clothing (415-980-4772) or shop other featured items below.     Shop this Post: Top | Vest | Banner | Dreidel Plates | Cupcakes   […]

Well this past weekend we finally made our way over to 3150 24th Street – the heart of culture in the the Mission District to indulge in some Jewish “soul food.” Offering an expansive menu of food items for breakfast, lunch and dinner, here you’ll find your matzoh ball soup, potato pancakes (latkes), pastrami or corned beef reubens, decadent club sandwiches and braised brisket.   While waiting for my turkey and pastrami “facon” (fake bacon) club, I started out with the most flavorful chocolate babka I’ve ever eaten. It was HUGE and could easily be shared between two people.     Already wowed after my first glimpse of Wise Sons’ lip smacking goodness, the club sandwich and fries shortly arrived. Being a Jewish deli, you won’t find pork served here, so in lieu of bacon, the club is comprised of: smoked turkey, pastrami fried like bacon, avocado, tomato, lettuce, and horseradish on challah toast. Normally I prefer a warm pressed sandwich, but this one was delish and the pastrami facon was out of this world! […]

Aside from the delightful meal, the atmosphere was casual and low key. We sat outside, at the family-style picnic tables, of course so that GG could join, and the other patrons seemed to be enjoying themselves as much as we were. I look forward to serving Wise Sons’ latkes at my Hanukkah party next month.
