[Photographs: Lauren Rothman]
It's that time of year again, folks: the Festival of Lights approaches, and just in case your ordinary latke binging wasn't indulgent enough, Hannukah actually overlaps with Thanksgiving this year, ensuring the heaviest turkey-wine-fried foods coma you've ever experienced.
But what about dessert? Well, we're here for you with our guide to New York's best sufganiyot—the sugared, jelly-filled doughnuts traditional to the holiday since, like latkes, they're fried in oil and help commemorate the lamp that burned for eight days. From a textbook version stuffed with apricot jam at hot Union Square bakery Breads to a not-quite-sufganiyah-but-still-awesome blood orange curd doughnut at Bed Stuy's beloved Dough, you're sure to find your ideal fritter this holiday season.
