With the recent closings of Cafe Sapore, Kind David Deli, Sabra Pizza, and Off the Grill, it was only a matter of time before their shoes would be filled. While the locations once held by King David & Off the Grill are still empty (and we’re hoping kosher restaurants will take their places), Cafe Sapore [...]
Despite some press and locals believing that the Bareburger chain opening in the heavily Jewish town of Great Neck, Long Island would be kosher, it is not to be. In a recent conversation with management at Bareburger, they confirmed that the organic, all-natural and locally sourced ingredient burger chain will not be opening a kosher [...]
Good news for kosher observant Torontonians. After a spate of kosher restaurant closings, a new Glatt Kosher deli has opened this week in the Bathurst & Lawrence area: Ben & Izzy’s Deli.

While Citron & Rose is an upscale eatery (perhaps the [...]
UPDATE 2: We spoke with local Chabad rabbi, Rabbi Uriel Rivkin of the Young Israel of Tampa, and he confirmed that the restaurant DOES NOT have a Orthodox hashgacha. We also called into the restaurant and were not given a clear answer from the owner or manager as to what the “kosher” supervision actually is. [...]
Late last year, a new dairy / fish restaurant opened in Cancun. Dag Dag’s website (koshercancunrestaurant.com) details their menu and prices in English. In doing research on the restaurant, we found one mention – a review of the restaurant from January, which didn’t paint a rosy picture of their service: dagdag kosher in cancun (bring [...]
Didn’t realize that Kosher Mexican food was a thing yet? Well, be sure to check out one of these eateries around the U.S. to get a south of the border flavor.

After judging last year’s event, I’m quite excited to attend (and judge) this year’s Long Island Kosher BBQ Championship – which is more like a food festival for meat lovers. 1 to 2 dozen teams battle it out by preparing 3 meat dishes for us judges, which is a longer affair than you’d think. The [...]
The COR Kasruth Council of Canada, Toronto’s main kashrut agency, is promoting May as “Kosher Restaurant Month” in Toronto and Thornhill, offering 10% off (seemingly) all kosher restaurants and eateries under COR supervision. This coupon MUST be printed for EACH use, so you may need to kill a few trees if you want to eat [...]
In this week’s Jewish Week newspaper, I wrote an article about the deluge in kosher restaurants in NYC focusing on high-end burgers. (Click here to read the article). The catalyst behind the article were my recent meals at Amsterdam Burger Co. (ABC), Le Marais, and Mr. Broadway, coupled with the news that Teaneck’s Gotham Burger [...]
If you’re a kosher traveler arriving to Jerusalem, you’ve pretty much arrived at kosher food mecca. It’s no surprise that finding kosher food in the holy city is as likely as bumping into your childhood friend on Ben Yehuda St. But what if you have more than one dietary restriction, like being a vegetarian? While most “dairy” restaurants [...]
Note from Dani: I rented with Noach Car Rental Agency in December 2012 – January 2013 and they helped me find the best rate with Hertz Israel. They helped me save even more by applying the “Shomer Shabbat” discount which means you won’t pay for the car on Shabbat – when you’re not using it [...]
Contributed by Shiri Berzack | Last Date of Travel: March 2013 Kosher Info: Keeping kosher in Johannesburg, South Africa really isn’t as hard as you would think. Due to the large Jewish community (around 70,000) there is a range of restaurants and every supermarket stocks some kind of kosher products. It is also important [...]
According to GreatKosherRestaurants: Bravo Pizza has taken over the Wall Street restaurant, Cravings located at 17 Trinity Place.

Ari White, the grillmaster behind Hakadosh BBQ, is bringing his Texas Roadside Smokehouse BBQ to streetfairs across New York this Spring and Summer. Those street fairs have historically been void of kosher fare as this will fill a void in the NYC kosher landscape. This ‘pop-up’ kosher establishment, if we can call it that, holds [...]
The relatively new but successful Teaneck eatery, Gotham Burger, is opening a 2nd location in Manhattan’s Upper West Side neighborhood, only blocks from the new Amsterdam Burger Co.

Going on Pesach excursions on chol hamoed is often challenging given the lack of snack options for purchase as well as what can be made at home to take with.
Article by Buzzy Gordon, from Jewish.Travel online Travel Magazine The Fifth Seder Question: Where To This Year? In the 21st century, the good news for Jewish tradition is that the multi-generational seder still appears to be as much in vogue as ever. Only it is as likely to take place in a hotel or a [...]
Looking for the Coke with the yellow bottle caps in LA? SF? SD? You won’t find it this year again. According to Vosizneias.com: Update: Kosher consumers in Los Angeles are reporting that K4P Coke is available at a few locals markets.

Exclusive Story: While it is no secret that there have been many changes to the kosher scene in midtown NYC over the past year and a half, this secret has been kept under wraps for a few months now.

I purchased 2 Restaurant.com certificates (discounts) to a Kosher restaurant in my area (at the recommendation of DansDeals.com back in January) . It’s the only kosher restaurant in my area that is offering certificates on this website. The restaurant decided to leave the program and in an email I received from the website, I can [...]
Montreal is a beautiful city, that feels as if you taken a trip to Europe as opposed to crossing the Canadian border. From the old town to the Latin Quarter there is a lot to see and do. Plus, due to the large Jewish suburban population there is plenty of nearby kosher food (i.e. not much in the city).
A kosher restaurant has opened in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. The restaurant aptly named Kosher in Paradise is located right near the docks, where 1,000′s of tourists disembark daily.

Being Jewish and from France, [...]
We announced not long ago that the owners of the Prime Grill restaurants, which include Solo, would be launching a new dairy restaurant, a take-out pizza joint.

Last month I got back from my 2 week trip to Israel where I used my iPhone 5 as my main phone and Internet device (I also had a laptop and iPad wifi only). To make sure I had service when I arrived, I made arrangements with IsraelSIMs.com to get a SIM before leaving (they sent me [...]
If the flurry of recent restaurant openings and moves by the Prime Hospitality Group didn’t get your head spinning yet (Prime at the Bentley / Prime Grill moving), well, it will now. In their first foray into the dairy scene, Prime is opening a small pizza joint, Pizza da Solo, a takeout-only pizzeria making 10-inch [...]
Since it’s opening, Jezebel has faced many untrue rumors, mainly that it isn’t really kosher. Kosher diners have also taken issue with the name that is meant to be after a decades-old movie, but for most, it conjured up the biblical Israelite queen accused of being promiscous, thus an odd name for a kosher institution. [...]
Post by @DaniOpp Just in time for the Pesach pizza rush, Lia’s NY Pizza has opened on Miami Beach on 41st street. Taking over the old Jona’s Pizza location, Lia’s boasts a Cholov Yisroel Menu with Pizzas, Sandwiches, Breakfast all day, Salads, and Falafel. (menu) While the food will be familiar to those who went [...]
Review by: @ArielleKlein Looking for a great, homestyle restaurant that you can take the whole family to in Tel Aviv? Then look no further than Odelya. It is an affordable place that serves delicious Sephardic delicacies. The cuisine ranges from Libyan to Moroccan to Tunisian. One of my favorite things about this place is how [...]
Contributed by: Joanna Shebson | Last Date of Travel: May 2011 Jerusalem is often known for its religious significance but people don’t realize that its also a great place to experience extreme sports in a beautiful surrounding. In the last few weeks I had the opportunity to go snappeling (rappelling) & rock climbing with Challenge Tours (challengetours@gmail.com) in Valley [...]
For someone that has never lived in, and rarely visits, New York City, Sacred Chow offers the quintessential NY vibe that I hoped I would find when I came to town. The kosher-vegan restaurant is nestled between a shoe repair store and a hookah store at 227 Sullivan St in the SoHo neighborhood. I walked [...]
A new kosher restaurant has opened up in the St. Louis Park neighborhood of Minneapolis, Vitali’s Bistro Cafe.

The restaurant is down the block from city hall located at 5101 [...]
I’ve been lucky enough to attend The Kosher Food and Wine Experience for the past three years, and it’s always a fun experience. Last year the food really didn’t blow me away and I wasn’t sure I would attend again this year, but I decided to give it one more chance and I was not [...]
