Hanukkah starts at sundown on Thursday, December 7, and for eight special nights, the Festival of Lights brings dreidels, oil-fried foods such as sufganiyot (fried jelly doughnuts) and latkes (perfect with apple sauce and sour cream), and lighting the menorah. Across Philly, there are several great restaurants serving up traditional Jewish dishes to celebrate this spirited holiday. Check out these impressive spots to either order catering from or dine in.
