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 [...]

In the Peninsula Shopping Center in Hewlett, NY, a new Glatt Kosher restaurant is coming in replacing a non-kosher Pinatas Mexican Grill. The new restaurant is called Ahuva’s Grill, but we do not have any other details at the moment. We will update this post when we receive more information. [googleMap]map[/googleMap]

Over the past few months, businesses downtown have been hit hard by a combination of Occupy Wall Street protesters and subsequent NYPD barricades. Combine this with high rents in a large space, and that is likely what did in Milk Street Cafe on Wall Street, which was doing well before the September protests began. Milk [...]

Burgers Bar on Central Ave. in Cedarhurst, NY has closed. While this is sad for us BB lovers in the area, I can’t say that I didn’t see it coming. My last 2 experiences there, the food was not up to par. Additionally, with some newer options in the area, including Carlos & Gabby’s (who [...]

According to this source, even though some of Milk Street’s business has bounced back since the beginning of the Occupy Wall Street protests began a few months ago, many of the NYPD barricades still remain on and near Wall Street despite the closing of Zuccotti Park as a campsite for the movement. Marc Epstein, the [...]

JetBlue’s T5 JFK terminal is well stocked and Kosher-friendly. If you’re hungry and flying through JetBlue’s new (and beautiful) T5 terminal at JFK Airport, you’re in luck! I did a scan of the new terminal’s offerings and to my surprise, I found numerous Kosher options offered at all of the terminal’s CIBO Express shops*. The [...]

This came as news to me. Apparently there has been a kosher kiosk operating inside of the SONY building for some time now (at least that’s what their website claims). Rieu Cafe is a pretty little stand in the SONY building lobby with high end coffee, bagel sandwiches, and numerous pastries including cookies, muffins, croissants, [...]

The world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden, has thousands of kosher keeping fans attending its Knicks (well maybe not this year) and Rangers games, yet has yet to offer any sort of kosher fare in the arena … until now. It has been confirmed that Carlos & Gabby’s will be operating Kosher stands within [...]

The Occupy Wall Street (#OWS) movement is now running on its 7th week of mass protests in lower Manhattan. While the crowds are fighting for better wages, jobs, and other economic issues, one of their unintended casualties has been a local Kosher restaurant: Milk Street Cafe, located on Wall Street, and just opened this summer [...]

Soom Soom is open at Lexington Ave and 56th st. in NYC. Personally, I think it’s the best kosher falafel in New York. The salad bar has a larger selection than the uptown sister store – this includes, among other things, beets, guacamole and fried cauliflower. The staff was friendly. Service was good and fast. [...]

Not long ago I compiled a list of Kosher Subway Restaurants across the U.S., which in its heyday numbered 12 across the country, 5 alone in the NYC metro area. Today, all 5 of the NYC area Kosher Subways are closed and only a total of 5 remain open nationally. I was recently interviewed by [...]

What makes Sushein unique is that they are the 1st kosher sushi restaurant in the U.S. to have a conveyor belt in the restaurant deliver sushi to its patrons. I have seen [...]

Scrolling through my Facebook feed, I noticed people asking what kosher restaurants were open in their various neighborhoods. I decided it would be a good idea for YeahThatsKosher to post a list for the NY Metro area. So I put up a Facebook status asking people if they knew of any restaurants currently open, and [...]

Kingston Ave. in Crown Heights, Brooklyn is getting its own Schnitzel “sandwich” shop in ‘Prime Sandwich’, which is set to open directly before or after the Jewish holidays (2011). According to Shamis.com, the restaurant will be under the Hashgacha of the Beis Din of Crown Heights (CHK).
