Updated for 2022
Happy Hanukkah, Los Angeles! Hanukkah begins the evening of December 18th, 2022 at sundown and lasts for eight nights, during which time it is customary to eat Latkes, or potato pancakes, along with many other traditions, of course. Here’s a list of a few places to get Latkes in Los Angeles and anything else you’d like for your Hanukkah meals this season — other than your own kitchen.
Many local restaurants prepare delicious options for Hanukkah meals to go, so you can get take-out or delivery and enjoy the meal at home with your family.
By the way, if you’re planning to make your own latkes and you’re looking for a new recipe, this one from Bon Appétit called “Adam and Maxine’s Famous Latkes” looks very tasty.
Latkes are traditionally served with applesauce and sour cream as sides. And they’re delicious. If you’re looking for Hanukkah Events in Los Angeles, just click over.
