For the Foodie:
 |
Esperanto Spiced Oil, $6
Spice up the pantry of your food-obsessed recipient with this unique oil blend, courtesy of the East Village’s Esperanto Restaurant. A zesty combination of olive and canola oils, and fennel seeds, cumin seeds, pepper corns, hot pepper flakes, salt and garlic, Esperanto’s spiced oil is perfect for dipping or to add a little Latin flavor to any dish. Purchase a bottle at the restaurant (145 Avenue C) or online here. |
 |
MacarOn’s Macarons, $15-$50
First it was cupcakes, then it was mini-cupcakes, and now this year’s dessert trend is definitely the macaron (not to be confused with the macaroon!). Fortunately for us, New York’s MacarOn Café offers some of the best, and makes them Gluten-Free and certified Kosher for those with dietary restrictions. With luxury gift boxes featuring assorted holiday flavors like chestnut, matcha green tea, cranberry and gingerbread, there's plenty to say L’Chaim about. Purchase in store at 625 Madison Avenue or online here. |
 |
BR Guest Gift Card, $25+
Now normally we’d say gift cards are a cop out, but not when they’re redeemable at several top restaurants throughout the city (Atlantic Grill, Dos Caminos, Wildwood BBQ, etc.) and when they’re 20% off! To score the discount, purchase online here before December 10. |
 |
Gift Certificate to the International Culinary Center, $100+
While we New Yorkers have mastered ordering in, most of us could use a little help in the kitchen. Enter the International Culinary Center, offering a wide range of classes like Holiday Cocktails, Holiday Cookies, or Food & Wine Pairings. Purchase online here for your aspiring Top Chef or master mixologists. |
