The Brooklyn Museum gets up close and personal with the borough’s storied Jewish heritage when it hosts the seventh annual Latke Festival. Chefs from across the city come together to present their best versions of the classic snack, with a panel of judges (and, of course, the guests) critiquing the offerings and choosing their favorite. In a season with more than enough excuses to overeat, this is one of our perennial favorites and a fun way for non-New Yorkers to get a real taste of the city.
