15 Best Hamantaschen Across NYC

Who doesn’t love the holidays? They’re the perfect excuse to stuff your face with tasty treats!

And since Purim begins at sundown Monday, March 6th it only makes sense to kick off the celebration with some hamantaschen!

Hamantaschen are triangle-shaped cookies, usually filled with fruit preserves, poppy seeds, even savory fillings. They are a Purim tradition resembling Haman’s tri-cornered hat, and a delicious tradition at that! So, here are the 15 best bakeries to get hamantaschen across NYC.
