Classy “M Restaurant” has closed it’s doors in Flatbush and will be reopening in Manhattan in the near future. No specific date or location has been announced for it’s reopening, but we look forward to trying it when it does.

One of our Twitter followers was pretty upset upon the hearing of this place closing:

Recently Opened: Coffee Bean on UWS in NYC

In the past half year, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, the popular Los Angeles kosher cafe, has now opened 2 locations in NYC. This new location has been open for less than a month.

This joins the Times Square Coffee Bean which opened this past summer.

Dougie’s: Closing in Brooklyn, Opening in Great Neck & Baltimore

After more than a decade on 18th Ave on the cusp of Borough Park, Dougie’s will be shutting its doors permanently this Sunday. While the restaurant was able to ride the coattails of the original Dougie’s on the Upper West Side, that too, along with the branch in Queens has since closed. It seems that while the restaurant enjoyed some popularity for the better part of 2 decades, the Kosher observant population moved on to bigger and better things.

Across the Nassau County border, however, Dougie’s has opened in Great Neck, marking the restaurant’s staying power in the NYC area. The restaurant is located at 105 Middle Neck Road.

Additionally, Dougie’s will be opening in Baltimore, Maryland in the coming week or two.
