There has been a lot of confusion and mixed messages regarding the recent announcement of Trader Joes chocolate chips becoming OK-D, i.e. no longer pareve. Originally, when we asked the OK (on Twitter), we received notification that the product itself was not dairy, implying that this was merely "DE", or Dairy Equipment, which is still [...]

I know. Burger King hasn't been in Israel in nearly 2 years since the Israeli burger chain, Burger Ranch (pronounced Booger R'aanch by Israelis), bought out BK in 2010, which was sad because I LOVED Burger King on Ben Yehuda 10+ years ago when I studied in Israel. Last year on my visit to Israel, [...]

The popular Kosher eatery in the lobby of the Empire State Building is no longer Kosher. The restaurant has reportedly been sold and will not be maintained as a Kosher pizzeria.  H/T to @ElyRosenstock   

An odd name, and an odd location (for a Kosher restaurant), Jezebel is seeking to create another unique kosher experience in NYC, along the likes of Pardes, Mike's Bistro, and Basil. According to this recent WSJ article, Jezebel may be the first kosher restaurant to serve nonmevushal wine (unpasterized kosher wine), which is a huge [...]

Both are in the old town. One is called Balti Drambliai at 41 Vilniaus Street. Very tasty, very cheap, diverse menu, great environment, my [...]

For the 2nd time in under a year, Pomegranate Bistro closed it's doors, this time permanently after serving dinner on Sunday, April 29th. The restaurant reopened in January after being closed for 7 months. The owners of the restaurant claimed that the lack of financial success as well as some legal issues forced the restaurant's [...]

After many months pushing off dining at Basil, and after spending a Shabbat in Crown Heights, I was excited to finally try the restaurant Motzei Shabbat, only to find out they were temporarily closed due to a gas leak. Luckily, a week later we were invited by fellow foodie friends to join them at Basil [...]

  Review by Arielle Klein It seems that restaurants come and go rather quickly. In place of what used to be "Fusion Toast", which came and went without my ever even setting foot in the place – is now a new restaurant called "The Upper Crust". Luckily this time I was able to get in [...]

Contributed by Dani Klein | Last Date of Travel: March 2012 Kosher Info:  SF: San Francisco is a large American city with depressingly few kosher options. In the downtown area, there is only one (small) kosher restaurant, Sabra Grill, which doesn't even deliver. Advice I received from the locals was to avoid unless there were [...]

Now that Passover is over, we can start thinking about where we will be for next year’s holiday. In order to plan appropriately, we’ve been thinking that it would be great to collect hundreds of personal reviews from this year’s program participants, then share the results with you over the summer. If you attended a [...]

Review submitted by Simone Somekh from Milan   How many times, eating pizza in the USA, have we wondered how does the original Italian one actually taste? Thanks to Carmel, the best kosher pizzeria in Milan, Italy, now we won’t have to daydream anymore. Carmel is a well presented restaurant in the Jewish area of the [...]

Review submitted by Estee C.     Address: 15001 Ventura Blvd. Woodland Hills, CA When did it open: 2 months ago Ambiance: Cool, valley chic. Light colors, modern fixings. Beautiful out door seating option. Upscale, trendy, super clean, but has a warm vibe. You feel very valued as a customer and welcome in this place. [...]

Wolf & Lamb Steakhouse, the popular midtown Manhattan restaurant, is opening up a new location in Midwood, on the corner of Coney Island Ave. & Ave. M. This space has been occupied by at least 1-2 other kosher restaurants over the past 10+ years, but hopefully this unique location will work well for the existing [...]

Thank you to @DaniOpp for your eagle eyes in catching & reporting this: Kosher Korner in the BankAtlantic Center, in Sunrise, FL (just west of Ft. Lauderdale & north of Miami) normally sells Glatt Kosher food at their stand for Panthers hockey games. Now, in the playoffs, they've been found to be selling "kosher-style" food [...]

We spent the first part of the week in Barcelona. We came prepared with a suitcase full of food because prior research, including an email to the [...]

The beloved Philly Kosher eatery, Max & David's of Elkins Park located in the Yorktown Plaza, is not reopening its doors after Passover, according to its owner Steve Katz (quoted by Philly.com). The restaurant was not profitable. Katz did note, however, that Max & David's will still live on as a food truck, with a [...]
