New Kosher Eatery (Good Fellas) to Open in Downtown Manhattan, NY

For those of us who work all the way downtown in the financial district of New York, a kosher restaurant closing is a sad day. So when Essex on Coney Downtown closed, it reduced our options significantly.

Replacing “Essex” will be a new restaurant called “Good Fellas” at 17 Trinity Place. And even though the type of cuisine is still unknown, it already has kosher supervision from the Orthodox Union (OU), which isn’t surprising considering their offices are directly above the new restaurant.

Good Fellas is set to open by or close to Labor Day 2011.

H/T to Koshertopia for the announcement.

New Kosher Place Open in Hudson, NY – Park Falafel and Pizza

Located approximately 45 minutes south of Albany, NY, a new Kosher Pizzeria has opened in Hudson, in Columbia County. The region is scenic and green, which makes the area an attractive location for NY area Jews in the summertime.

It is worth noting though that Park Falafel and Pizza is open 7 days a week, co-owned by a non-Jew, and has its hashgacha from Rabbi Daniel Fried of Congregation Anshe Emeth (Conservative synagogue).

No Such Thing As Kosher Pork: Associated in Queens, NY – Who Is Your Rabbi?

Earlier this week, an Israeli artist (Oded Hirsch) spotted something a bit fishy at the Associated Supermarket in Sunnyside, NY (Queens). Actually, it was a bit porky.

He spotted multiple chazzer (pork) products with a Kosher symbol. Not just any kosher symbol, but a full on, in Hebrew, “Beis Yosef Sh’chita” symbol.

This reminds me a bit of pirated DVDs, but for some reason I have a feeling this won’t be the profitable industry that bootleg movies have been.

This story broke days ago and given the nature of the product, we felt that our community of readers would be smart enough to not eat pork. We’re posting this for those that asked for more details.

Dougie’s BBQ Opening a Location in Great Neck, NY

According to this image posted on Achshav.com, there seems to be a new branch of Dougie’s BBQ opening up in Great Neck, Long Island.

No word yet as to when this will open, but I’m sure the local residents are excited.

This will become the 4th Dougie’s location in addition to Brooklyn, Teaneck, and Deal, NJ. Dougie’s BBQ has had a tumultuous history, with it’s original shop on the Upper West Side of Manhattan closing down years ago, along with it’s Queens and 5 Towns locations also closing shop, it’s Brooklyn and New Jersey locations have stayed afloat over the years.

We’ll see how this fairs on the north shore.
