Where to order food for the New Year.
Given the current state of things, Rosh Hashanah might look a little different this year. And even if you can’t celebrate with all your loved ones right now, you can still ring in the Jewish New Year with an excellent meal. These ten restaurants in SF and the East Bay are offering takeout and delivery specials so you can celebrate the first of the High Holidays at home.
