eating out Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 It's Purim-time... and I do love an apricot hamentashen! Anyone know where a good one is in the area? I've tried the ones at K's (not terribly impressed) and at the bakery in Eastern Market (better, but still not blown away). Any ideas? Heya MBK- Actually, I would try "So's Your Mom" - not to far from you, on Columbia, between 19th and 18th. It's right next to Astor Cafe and a Bank of America. They've got great stuff- the BEST corned beef & liver sandwich around, it's my favorite deli. Also, their sweets are good, and I know for a fact they have poppy seed humentashen, but not sure about apricot - I bet you could request it. Anyway, you must go there!

Buckinghamilton Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I believe So's Your Mom (on Columbia Rd. in Adams Morgan) has them, but I've never tried them. I think there was a similar thread on the other board a year or two ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBK Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Mmmm, So's Your Mom *is* good, and I haven't been there in ages! Guess where I'm going this weekend...... And by the way, I love a good corned beef and chopped liver sandwich, so thanks for that tip as well!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm chen Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Although they don't list it on the board, So's Your Mom makes a delicious Reuben as well. And their poppy seed hamentashen are great, if memory serves me right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been trying to figure out what I wanted to do for lunch today. I'll look into the hamentaschen situation while I'm there and report back this afternoon.

I've tried the ones at K's (not terribly impressed) and at the bakery in Eastern Market (better, but still not blown away). Any ideas? Well you are in luck (maybe). So's Your Mom DOES have apricot hamentashen (spelled "Hamantash" on their blackboard) sitting on a tray next to the poppy seed ones. They are $2.50 each and seem rather large to me, but I don't have any way of judging their quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleWing Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 FYI - So's Your Mom's poppy seed hamantaschen are excellent - although they're really big, so if you like a larger cookie-to-filling ratio you might be disappointed. I think they're awesome though. Also, they carry rugelach in their bakery case, and the chocolate ones are excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
