KIDS' PURIM PARTY AT DAGON Celebrate Purim at Dagon with a hamantaschen-making class, face painting and more.

Wonderful food and service. The mushroom dumplings with pine nuts and yogurt were exceptional - everything, really, was excellent. Prices are a bit high, but the food is so good, I didn't mind.
