Purim is this weekend and I am ISO the best hamantashen, all fillings

Greenberg's was absolutely my first and best thought; Eli's or EAT should also have good ones. I'd like to recommend Moishe's but, honestly, their stuff if quite tasteless and cardboard-y. I have a sentimental feeling about the place after having gone there for so many years, but the stuff is just not good.

Try Moishe's, for a down-scale version but pretty close to what I used to get at home fifty years ago...
2nd Ave/7th Street...soft dough, good lekvar(prune)...Greenberg is no longer owned by Greenberg, by the way...Not sure if Moishe really owns Moishe's but it's definitely kosher...

And I love Moishe's rugelach, especially chocolate.

I'm well aware that the Greenbergs sold the business. That's not relevant to how good the hamanteshen are there now.

I was told by a friend that Eli's has delicious ones
Will go over tomorrow and let you all know
thanks for all the responses

+1 for Moishe's (poppy seed are my favorite). +1 also for it over Greenberg's.

@gutsofsteel, did you know that many of the baked goods at Greenberg's come from Crumbs? I don't know about the hamantashen specifically, but I live in their building and see the Crumbs-branded baking tray dollies in and out of that place every morning.

[gutsofsteel]

No I did not know that. All I can say is that the hamantashen are good, because I recently had one. Also had a good brownie. Didn't try anything else.

William Greenberg does a good job. Madison in the low 80s...
