Sofreh is a recently-opened, upscale Persian food restaurant in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn which has quickly become one of the best representatives of Persian cuisine in New York City. In this episode of the excellent Eat Seeker series from our friends at Thrillist, peek inside, see the menu, and learn how/why chef Nasim Alikhani opened the restaurant with her husband this past year.

When Chef Nasim Alikhani returned to her home country of Iran after a 9-year gap she quickly realized how much she missed the incredible food she had grown up eating. The food was vibrant and bright, and she thought how crazy it was that more people didn’t know about the delicacies of tahdig and kofteh in saffron broth. At her restaurant Sofreh, in Brooklyn Chef hopes to educate the people of New York about Persian food and its culture.

Now in its 10th year, the East Village's annual St. Nicholas Cookie Walk is a unique holiday offering where you purchase a cookie container then fill it as much as you can with delicious cookies from dozens of the best local bakers.

It's Cookie Walk time! This is our once a year reminder that the St. Nicholas Church Cookie Walk is just around the corner (only two weeks away). We are very busy preparing dough in the kitchen right now for our 50,000+ fresh baked confections with over 50 varieties. This is our 10th Annual Cookie Walk and the event keeps getting bigger and better each year. We are adding about a dozen new cookie varieties, including Graham Central Station Bars, Applebet City Cookies, Chelsea Pears and Tompkins Square Bark. And yes, we love puns almost as much as cookies.

There are two box sizes offered for $15 or $25, and even have gluten-free options. The 10th Annual Cookie Walk is being held at St. Nicholas of Myra Orthodox Church on 10th Street and Avenue A in Alphabet City on Saturday, December 8th (11am - 4pm) and Sunday, December 9th (Noon - 3pm).
