kosher restaurant jezebel to open in nyc
And after all that hoopla, it turns out that they will *not* be serving non-mevushal wine after all!
Elan Kornblum's mailing today says:
Contrary to other reports, the highly-anticipated Soho restaurant will only be serving mevushal wines when they open next month. And here is an exclusive first look at their logo.
What's the Story with PJ Bernstein's
Why is a dairy bun *more* of a problem than cooking on the treife grill? The sausage is already treif mid'oraisa before you put it in the bun, which is only a d'rabanan (assuming the bun itself isn't treif, which is not a good assumption).

Talia's is not under the OU. Maybe Rabbi Marmorstein has a different standard, or has a narrower interpretation of the law in question.

I have confirmed with the OU that this is indeed what's happening.
"When wine is sold, there can be no live music except for Saturday night."
So they're interpreting the restriction very narrowly, as narrowly as they can, but they are enforcing it, as is of course appropriate. They can hardly tell people it's permitted to eat somewhere if the Shulchan Aruch says it isn't.

The Shulchan Aruch forbids music at a meal, which is generally taken to mean live music, except at a seudat mitzvah. Perhaps the OU considers melaveh malkah to be a seudat mitzvah, where music is permitted.
Boro Park restaurants open late?
Both are on 13th Ave. Both are meat places, but you should be able to find something you can eat there.
Here's Subsational's menu: http://www.greatrestaurantsmag.com/KOSHER/restaurants/411/subsational
And here's VIP's: www.facebook.com/pages/VIP-Grill/113583695342458
But if you get in on time, at 10, most places will still be open.
A bacon alternative? ??? Think I may have found it.....
With a name like "torani" how could it *not* be kosher? :-)
Boro Park restaurants open late?
I don't know whether it's still relevant to you, but I am now in Borough Park and checked with these two establishments. Subsational (between 40th and 41st) is open until midnight, and VIP Grill (between 37th and 38th) is open until 2 am.

Also, the kosher areas are only an hour or so away by public transport. So if you have leisure time that you don't mind spending on a train, looking at the scenery out of the window or reading a book, you can make a few dinner runs. Personally, taking public transport is part of my tourist experience wherever I go; I want to see the place as the locals see it, so I ride the trains, buses, trams, etc.
Is there any source for Kishka made with beef intestine?
So it seems that it was briefly illegal under an interim regulation, but the final regulation made it legal again. Right?
New Kosher Restaurant in Center City Philadelphia!
Su Xing House is certainly good enough for that.
Horseradish question
Technically it shouldn't be allowed, but then if you want to get technical *no* horseradish should be allowed, because it isn't one of the five kinds of maror listed in the gemara. (No, "tamcha" is not horseradish, despite what you will see in some classical sources.) Jews started to use horseradish for maror in northern Europe only because lettuce is not available until the summer, and nor are any of the other listed kinds. Now that lettuce is available, one must eat a kezayit of it.
So if for tradition's sake we have horseradish with our kezayit of lettuce, it's a short step to allowing vinegar with that horseradish...
Gluten-free matzoh?
The relative absence of gluten from oats is one of the many reasons why the translation of "shibolet shual" as "oats" is suspect. And of course if that translation is wrong then one can no more make matzah out of oats than one can out of lentils.
People with zero gluten tolerance should use these oat matzos anyway, in case the translation is correct. But those who can tolerate low levels should investigate the low-gluten alternatives and see whether they might be suitable.
Boro Park restaurants open late?
Yes, at 10 most restaurants on 13th Ave will still be open. If your plane is delayed and you get in after 11, there are still places that are open very late (for instance VIP Grill and Subsational).
Looking for an Israeli style toast....
Amazon is open. Yelp agrees: http://www.yelp.com/biz/amazon-cafe-brooklyn
You were probably looking at the listing for a treife place of the same name, in Jersey City.
Restaurant Wedding (ceremony + reception) nyc or brookyln
But you can fit 30. It depends on how big it ends up being.

How about Pardes? You could have the chupah at Grand Army Plaza and then the reception at Pardes, and I'm sure Moshe (a regular commenter on this board) could do you a deal.
Anything open later in Boston?
I'm told that they're open until 10:30 most nights, and at least until pesach they were open on motzaei shabbos until midnight .
Most interesting find this Pesach?
Israeli couscous isn't real pasta in the first place. It's baked, not dried. And it contains nothing but flour and water. That's why this works'; just make it quickly, and clean the machinery every 18 minutes, and it's just like tiny pieces of matzah. Real pasta couldn't be made pesachdik, because it's not baked.
Most interesting find this Pesach?
Still, $1 a packet for the jerky is an amazing price. I'm not surprised that bagelman bought it all. I'm just surprised that nobody else did so first!
Most interesting find this Pesach?
$1 a pack?! That's amazing, but why would it be so steeply discounted? Is it really not as good as the non-Pesach ones? I wouldn't have thought it would be any different.
Passover cocktails?
If it doesn't need cooking, and can be eaten on disposable keilim without contaminating the real ones, then he can. Vodka, for instance, out of plastic cups.
Passover cocktails?
It's explicitly permitted in the Shulchan Aruch. As for time to repurchase it, I know rabbis like to talk about this, but I don't believe it's necessary. It's like eating something while in the check-out line at the supermarket. The store is delighted to have you do this, because it's a guaranteed sale; once you've opened it you can't put it back, and when you get to the cashier you will pay for it. Same here; the owner knows you're about to buy it from him, so he has no reason to object to your drinking it before the sale. So long as you pay for it, it's no skin off his nose, and it prevents you from the hypothetical possibility you had of sticking him with the chametz and refusing to repurchase it.
Any good, clean veggie restaurants near Union Square?
Steer clear of it. The hashgacha is not worth anything. You have been warned.

I suggest you call him and have a conversation, and form your own impression. That's really the only way to do it. You can't reduce reliability to a number, because a lot of things go into it. You can email him at rabbizs@yahoo.com
Passover birthday cake. Not chocolate flour less
Would celebrating the child's Jewish birthday instead of his/her Gregorian one solve the problem, or only make it worse (every year instead of only a third of years)?
Looking for a non-kugel, make-ahead potato side dish to serve with brisket
Interesting. I usually just bake them in their jackets like normal potatoes, then peel and eat them on their own. And I find them plenty sweet; I can't understand why so many people find it necessary to add sugar, let alone other sweeteners. Must remember to try it with lime juice next time (after Pesach, because I'm not bothering to kasher the oven).
