Devotees of Ostrovitsky, the hound-endorsed bakery in Midwood, can fill up on kosher treats in Borough Park at a satellite outlet tucked into a Rio gas station. Selection is smaller than at the Avenue J flagship, but it passes the road test, reports Mike R. He rates the challah “high-test” and the hamantaschen “89 octane.” There’s also coffee and a steam table laden with pastas, potato kugel, kasha varnishke, and other hot foods.

Great Challah in Brooklyn?
We just had the best burgers and crispy frites there tonight, at a picnic table, under the stars! this place is a gem--just afraid too many people will find out and they'll be lines around the block!
