Afternoon Snacks

POSTED: Thursday, December 20, 2012, 3:56 PM

Taco snacks with Christmas cheer, tonight's Jewish Christmas menu, and all-day holiday brunches, all on today's Afternoon Snacks!

Oh hey, perfect almost-Christmas snack: check out these festive pato en nogada tacos from Loco Pez (2401 E. Norris St.)! They're filled with braised duck picadillo, white walnut mole, pomegranate seeds, and requisite cilantro and onion to complete the visual holiday theme.

Zahav (237 St. James Pl.) is finally showing off their menu for the 2012 installment of their Jewish Christmas celebration. Dumpling and rice cake soup, pork shank ssam, and a harissa-hot dog banchan? Geez, twist our arms. The party's tonight, and they only had 4 seats left an hour ago, so you might be left dreamily gazing at the menu like us... but optimistic readers might want to cross their fingers and get on the phone real quick.

A lot of us have long weekends coming up, and Square Peg (929 Walnut St.) is looking to help us take full advantage of it. They're extending brunch service to New Year's Eve and Day, even thought they fall on a Monday and Tuesday this year. This link has a full-frontal closeup of some ricotta doughnuts that might sway you if you're on the fence. And to show that they know how you'll likely be feeling on New Year's, they're shifting normal brunch hours longer and later (11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon.-Tues.) so you can have brunch at 4 p.m. if that's how your day goes.
