The PIttsburg Post Gazette did a wonderful story on the beers of Christmas. Needless to say, we would have been much happier had they called the story something else, but the story is worth reading if you are a beer aficionado. We have no idea which of these beers is ok to drink, but we 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 »
Motzei Shabbat we went out rather late. Son in law Yoav took us to a rather industrial section of Talpiot to get some amazing pizza pockets and a drink called Sahlab (the “h” is pronounced like a chet). We had never had sahlab before.

Category: Restaurants Last night, we had dinner at Ragu- a newish restaurant in the German colony, located at 41 Beit Lechem Road, Jerusalem. The restaurant is quite tiny. In the summer, it is possible to eat outside making it much larger. However, last night the place was packed- every table was filled. At the table Continue Reading »

Category: General Topics For the first time in more years than we can recall for sure, we will not be at Mollie B’s for turkey day. Long time readers of the KN and this blog know that Thanksgiving Day at Mollie B’s is a ritual in our family. So how is it that we will Continue Reading »
Category: General Topics Why do kosher bakeries charge such high prices? It can’t be the cost of hashgacha. Here in Queens, hashgacha is less than ten dollars a week, so it can’t be that. Could it be the cost of the raw materials? Nope! The truth is that the majority of bakery products sold in Continue Reading »
