[This is posted on behalf of a friend from Southern California] Dr. Sandwich is a little restaurant that lives right outside of Super Sal; you buy your food inside the market and eat it on the covered area on the side walk. I go to Super Sal very often, but for some reason I was [...]

San Jose is not your center of Jewish life, and although normally we do not cover kosher markets, I felt that as a travel site, we should let people who are traveling through San Jose know about the availability of picking up some Kosher items.

Thus, many meat restaurants have created special pareve (non meat or dairy) menus to stay open during the 9 Days.

While there are nearly 22,000 Subway restaurants in the United States, only a tiny fraction of them are actually Glatt Kosher… the overwhelming majority doesn’t claim to be kosher at all, so be careful.
