Technically, I don’t think Moshe’s Cafe can be called a cafe – or a restaurant of any sort. It’s basically just a counter outside the Citicorp Center on Lexington Avenue and 53d Street in Manhattan. But it was the latest stop on My Most Favorite Lunch Companion’s and my search for the perfect shwarma – Continue Reading »
Located in Machaneh Yehuda on Agrippas St, Sammi’s is an institution. It is not in any way a palace of haut cuisine. Nope! Nor is it upscale. Nope again. It isn’t even fancy or schmancy. Nope, not even close. But the food sure is good. Sammi’s is about as close as a restaurant can come Continue Reading »
We wrote about Norman”s a long time ago, and we thought it was time for an update. Let us say right off the bat- Norman”s is a busy, noisy restaurant. The sound of lots of Anglos eating, drinking and generally having a heckuva great time fills the place (and it is quite sizable) with a Continue Reading »
For our annual dinner date for his birthday, My Most Favorite Lunch Companion and I chose Mike”s Bistro, at 228 West 72d Street on Manhattan”s Upper West Side. The experience was sublime – this place rates 6 forks on the KN 5-Fork Scale. The ambiance is lovely. You can sit in the “atrium” and watch Continue Reading »
Located on Emek Refaim (restaurant row) in the heart of the German Colony, this restaurant offers both sit down service and take out food. We ordered take out for five people for a home party. All we can say is thank goodness we all were in a festive mood and did not need the food Continue Reading »
So there we were, spending a most delightful shabbat in West Palm Beach as a scholar in residence, lecturing on Kashruth and the UTJ. Considering that when we left NYC it was a cold day, the 77 degree Florida weather was a welcome relief. Motzei shabbat, our host took us to Eilat Cafe in Boca Continue Reading »
This has got to be the smallest restaurant I’ve seen, and very appropriately named: Pita Pocket. It’s at 21 East 12th Street in Manhattan; don’t blink, or you’ll miss it! It’s essentially a small counter, opening out to the street, where you give your order – but it does qualify as a restaurant because there Continue Reading »
In our never-ending search for the perfect shwarma, My Most Favorite Lunch Companion and I have found a couple of really funky little places in Manhattan. And I do mean little! Today we visited Alibaba of the West Side, a Yemenite spot with a surprisingly large menu (including a number of vegetarian choices) for such Continue Reading »
Silly- it’s DECKS, of course! How could we be in Israel and not eat at Decks? So we did what most Israelis would consider to be nuts. We left J’lem at 4:00pm and headed North. We got to Decks at 6:30, left at 8:45, and were back home in Rechavia by 11:15pm. Was it worth Continue Reading »
Readers of the Kosher Nexus as well as this blog know that when we are in Israel, there are two restaurants that we make sure to visit. One of them is in Jerusalem and is called Misadat Pinati. The place is about as small as a place can be and still call itself a restaurant Continue Reading »
