When Gothamist was wee our favorite holiday, after Thanksgiving, was easily Passover. Not only is it a good excuse to sit around and tell a great story (whether you are Jewish or not), but it also involves some spectacularly delicious food. We could happily dine on matzoh ball soup and matzoh ball soup alone (and we actually like the taste of salty parsley...). But, like Thanksgiving, actually cooking a Passover seder can be more hassle than it is worth. So, this being New York, of late we've turned to restaurants to do the cooking for us. There is just one problem: So do a whole lot of other lazy New Yorkers. But it isn't too late! Though most first night restaurant seders are all booked up (Savoy's is already ten deep into its waiting list) there are spaces left here and there. Here are five different takes on the Passover seder, including one that just ditches the seder aspect entirely.
