Bucks Food Calendar: December 26, 2016

Christmas may be over, but there are still six days of Chanukah left! This week, Bucks County Jewish centers are hosting a lot of activities to celebrate this holiday of warmth and light, including delicious traditional Chanukah goodies like potato pancakes (latkes), doughnuts and more.

When you’re ready to eat again, but can’t face the kitchen, check our calendar for all the great “locals” specials at area restaurants. It’s a good excuse to experience a new place.

And if you still don’t know what you will be doing on New Year’s Eve (this Saturday!), we will be publishing a post tomorrow, Tuesday, on where you can dine locally. Check back here at the website or on Facebook and Twitter.
