Reviews of Passover Hotel Programs?
I've gone there for years. While it may not be a spectacular program it is solid in all areas and very consistent. You may not be blown away, but you won't be unhappy either. One of few, if any, programs to provide waiter service for all meals which is a big plus for someone like me who doesn't like having to wait on a line to get my food. The food is good if not great, consistent and plentiful.
ST. LOUIS kosher
The JCC has an outdoor fleishig concession in the summertime which is open evenings (they also have a dairy cafe open for lunch in the summer and all day the rest of the year).

I believe that VegaDeli is no longer under the Vaad.
Pittsburgh
Can't help you with downtown activities, but on my visits to the area, Murray Ave Kosher delivered delicious meals.
Murray Avenue Kosher - Pittsburgh
Thanks for all of the responses. I ordered meals from there for my recent business trip to Pittsburgh. Everything was delicious, plentiful and presented very nicely. Highly recommended!
Murray Avenue Kosher - Pittsburgh
Does anyone have any experience with catering from Murray Avenue Kosher in Pittsburgh? Also, any idea who gives the hashgocha? Many Thanks.
any kosher hotels left in the Catskills?
The Hudson Valley Resort (formerly Granit) is not kosher except for the long running Pesach program, occasional Yomim Tovim and weekends run by outside groups.
Specific question on Atlanta kosher
Off Broadway (the meat restaurant). You won't confuse it for the Prime Grill in decor, but it is certainly presentable and much nicer than Broadway Cafe next door.
Reviews of Passover Hotel Programs?
I've been to the Granit for Pesach for a number of years and would generally agree with sanekosher's review. While the program is not spectacular, it is reliable, consistent and well run. You may not be blown away, there is little risk of the disasters described here in reviews of other programs. The Hochdorf's and their staff are ever present and will do what they can to accommodate.
The day camp is first class. The same head counselors for over 10 years. The crowd is a nice mix - mostly MO, with a black hat representation. They have both separate and mixed swimming hours. All meals are full waiter service, so no buffet lines to contend with. The core of the wait staff is stable from year to year and they are experienced in dealing with a pesach crowds and the sedarim. I would agree that the food is plentiful and good - not spectacular. There are few activities in the area, but there was hardly a minute on either Yom Tov or Chol Hamoed where there wasn't something going on. This is a Catskill hotel and the rooms reflect that. The hotel was renovated a number of years back, but you won't confuse it for a Hilton. The good news is, aside from sleeping, you should not need to spend much time in your room. The lobby is lovely and huge with a lot of seating. We always enjoy ourselves at the Granit and this year was no different.
granit & jackson hotels
I've been going to the Granit for many years. As mentioned they have a very nice crowd - a lot of repeat business, which says something. The food is good, and the portions are generous, but the food is not the most creative - especially when you consider it's gebrochts. They could stand to put some work into the side dishes in particular. No buffet meals - waiter service even for breakfast - which I prefer to the shoving at a buffet. All in all a good choice for Pesach.
Meals in St. Louis
I'll be traveling to St. Louis after the nine days and was wondering if anyone has used either Kohn's or Reservations Catering for meals in St. Louis.
Providence, RI
Is Izzy's catering operation also closed? Any reviews of Daniel's catering?

Dutch Wonderland has a kosher stand operated by the same folks as the Hershey stand. Limited menu, but the only hot kosher food in the area.
Catskills Recommendations?
Does anyone have any recommendations/reviews for places (meat or dairy, but not hotels) in the Catskills? I'm particularly interested in the Swan Lake area, but that's not a requirement.
Thanks!
Atlanta
I'll be traveling to Atlanta soon and was wondering if anyone had any insight into the kosher establishments there.
