These Atlanta Restaurants and Markets Are Here to Help Celebrate Passover

This year, Passover (Pesach) begins Friday, April 15, and ends Saturday, April 23. The eight-day holiday commemorates the events surrounding the exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt and their freedom from enslavement. Each spring, family and friends gather together to celebrate through shared stories, songs, and rituals known as the Passover Seder. The Seder also features many symbolic foods, like matzo, charoset (mixture of fruits and nuts), gefilte fish, brisket, and wine.

Restaurants, markets, catering companies, and bakeries across Atlanta are again geared up to help people celebrate Passover, including stocking shelves with necessary ingredients, butcher shops carrying brisket ready for braising, bakeries offering unleavened breads and sweets, and even feasts from local restaurants.
