100 BEST ’15: MATZO BALL SOUP at PECK’S

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2015…

Matzo Ball Soup at PECK'S

One day I’ll probably do a search for the best matzo ball soup in NYC. And after checking out Peck’s, a specialty food shop focusing on Jewish specialities, I already have a head start. This version is both new and traditional. The richly flavored (clearly homemade) chicken broth houses some carrots, celery, plenty of dill, confited chicken, and a perfect pillowy toothsome matzo ball.
