One year into the pandemic and we are marching toward our second “why-is-this-seder-different-than-all-other-seders.” If cooking isn’t your jam, or you’ve simply done too much of it this year, give yourself a break. 

Tons of places around the U.S. are offering full Seder meals to go via pickup, delivery or shipping. With menus ranging from brisket and matzah ball soup to chraime and chicken tagine, you’ll be spoilt for choice. We’ve rounded up the best of them below.

Hungarian by Sarah’s Tent 

Their Seder box (available for pickup) serves four and offers a choice of two menus.

Safta 

(Safta)

Doesn’t everyone prepare duck matzah ball soup and harissa-roasted chicken for their Seder? Safta’s Passover meals serve four and are priced at $195, though it’s well worth ordering the flourless Vahlrona chocolate cake for an additional $40. Available for pickup.

Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen

While you read about the four sons in the Haggadah, you can thank Wise Sons for your meal, which is offering a classic menu with a modern twist (I don’t think they had sides of pea shoots and roasted pearl onions in the shtetl).
