DISHING IT OUT The Internet gets a little tastier today, as The New York Sun rolls out four food and drink pieces that are available exclusively at nysun.com. Restaurant critic Paul Adams reviews West Village eatery Market Table, the second venture from the owners of Little Owl, Gabriel Stulman and Joey Campanaro. Of note on Market Table’s menu is chef Mike Price’s gnocchi with cheese, escarole, and short ribs. In advance of Chanukah, which begins at sundown on December 4, Nancy Davidson takes a look at the festival dishes featured in a new cookbook “Aromas of Aleppo,” which focuses on the culture, rituals, and recipes of the Syrian Jewish community.
