The New Yorker's A to Z of NY Food: Z is for Zeppole

Here it is, the final photo before I go: Z IS FOR ZEPPOLE! Zeppole are deep fried dough balls, usually topped with powdered sugar and sometimes stuffed with various things including custard or cream. Ren McCormack once said {quote}Ecclesiastes assures us that there is a time to every purpose under heaven. A time to laugh and a time to weep. A time to mourn and there is a time to dance.” There is also a time for Zeppole. That time is a at one of the many street fairs that happen around New York every year. Of course, you could walk into a pizzeria and buy a bag full of the cold, stale, deep fried dough balls they have sitting on their counter but then you’d probably never order one again and you’d miss out on the pleasure of eating them hot and fresh while people watching on a busy New York street. If you want a more highbrow version, you can head to @tcolic's Tap Room at @colicchio_sons for Zeppole with Spiced Quince Jam, Bourbon Raisins & Burnt Honey Ice Cream. #food #newyork #dessert.
