A kosher restaurant is an establishment that serves food that complies with Jewish dietary laws (kashrut). These businesses, which also include diners, cafés, pizzerias, fast food, and cafeterias, and are frequently in listings together with kosher bakeries, butchers, caterers, and other similar places, differ from kosher style establishments in that they operate under rabbinical supervision, which requires that the laws of kashrut, as well as certain other Jewish laws, must be observed. Such locations must be closed during Shabbat and Jewish holidays if under Jewish ownership.
In most cases, the location is limited to serving exclusively either dairy or meat foods. But some types of establishments, such as delicatessens, frequently serve both, kept in separate areas.
Here sits the vacant Acme in Styertowne Shopping Center in Clifton, NJ. The store is being prepped to open as Seasons Kosher Supermarket.
Styertowne is a mid-century community shopping center, opened in 1952 with a Grand Union supermarket and Levy Brothers Department store as anchors. Like many early shopping plazas, it has a front, upper level and a rear lower level.
Grand Union closed in the mid-1990's, and was replaced with C-Town. The C-Town lasted only 2 years, and then CVS took over the space, leaving the center without a supermarket. Acme built a new supermarket from the ground-up on property previously used by Verizon in the rear of the shopping center.
Acme opened in 2004, and had a pretty lackluster run through 2015. As a very generic conventional market, the store simply could not compete with the better merchandised (and better priced) options available throughout the area. In addition, Acme made no effort to merchandise to non-Anglo communities, and in the New York Metro area, this will guarantee failure.
I took this picture in Eilat, the most southern town in Israel, where it is possible to swim in the Red Sea for the whole year. Moreover there is an offer of diving among the corals and the trips to Negev desert. It is interesting, that children of some orthodox Jews play by the sea dressed.
This former Acme supermarket in Clifton, NJ is is being prepped to open as Seasons Kosher Supermarket. This is the entrance vestibule, where the sign previously read "Welcome To Your Clifton ACME". The Seasons Kosher folks have removed the "ACME" letters, but have left the "Welcome..." in place, possibly with an eye towards reusing it.

Ingredients
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4cup lightly packed fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons kosher salt
6 medium garlic cloves , peeled and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons finely grated zest and 1/4 cup juice from 2 limes
1 teaspoon minced habanero chile (see note)
1 (3 1/2-to 4-pound) whole chicken
Instructions
1. Process all ingredients except chicken in blender until smooth paste forms, 10 to 20 seconds. Using fingers or handle of wooden spoon, carefully loosen skin over thighs and breast and remove any excess fat. Rub half of paste beneath skin of chicken. Spread entire exterior surface of chicken with remaining paste. Tuck wingtips underneath chicken. Place chicken in gallon-size zipper-lock bag and refrigerate at least 6 hours and up to 24 hours.
2. Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Place vertical roaster on rimmed baking sheet. Slide chicken onto vertical roaster so chicken stands upright and breast is perpendicular to bottom of pan. Roast until skin just begins to turn golden and instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers 140 degrees, 45 to 55 minutes. Carefully remove chicken and pan from oven and increase oven temperature to 500 degrees.
3. When oven is heated to 500 degrees, place 1 cup water in bottom of pan and return pan to oven. Roast until entire skin is browned and crisp and instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees inserted in thickest part of breast and 175 degrees in thickest part of thigh, about 20 minutes (replenish water as necessary to keep pan from smoking), rotating bird 180 degrees halfway through cooking.
4. Carefully remove chicken from oven and let rest, still on vertical roaster, 20 minutes. Using kitchen towel, carefully lift chicken off vertical roaster and onto platter or cutting board. Carve chicken and serve, passing Spicy Mayonnaise separately.
Spicy Mayonnaise:
1 large egg
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 tablespoon juice from 1 lime
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon canned pickled jalapeno, minced.
1 medium garlic clove, minced or pressed.
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup vegetable oil
Process all ingredients except oil in food processor until finely chopped, about 5 seconds. With machine running, slowly drizzle in oil in steady stream until mayonnaise like consistency is reached, scraping down bowl as necessary.
When the Duane-Reade Pharmacy at 77th and Broadway (NW corner) in Manhattan closed they took their sign with them, revealing an occupant from the era before chain stores and franchises had a significant presence in New York. Several passersby recalled that Gitlitz, a family-run kosher restaurant/deli, had been in business "forever," finally closing in the early 1970's. (Does anyone know more, or have photographs from when they were in business?)
Glimpses of little details like this of what New York once looked like often pop up as a side effect of construction and demolition. Their life expectancy is unpredictable and often quite short, however, so it's best to document them as soon as possible when they are noticed. These photos were taken on 25 April, 2003. The location is now a mobile phone shop.

B&H Kosher Dairy Restaurant on 2nd Avenue near St Mark’s Place was founded in 1938 by Abie Bergson and Jack Heller, when Second Avenue from 14th Street to Houston Street was considered “The Jewish Rialto” due to the large numbers of Yiddish theaters along the Avenue. The current owners of B&H are husband-and-wife team Aleksandra (Ola) and Fawzy Abdelwahed. Fawzy purchased the restaurant in 2003, and Ola joined him two years later. Both of them are immigrants (Ola a Catholic from Poland and Fawzy a Muslim from Egypt), who not only embrace the neighborhood’s diversity but still offer the same classic Jewish kosher comfort food (no meat served) including latkes, knishes, borscht, blintzes, pierogi, tuna sandwiches and their famous homemade challah bread.

Today, we visited @bandhdairy and Ola not only had just baked homemade challah bread 🍞 (swipe left for 2nd photo) but she also was at the stove making fresh blintzes (swipe left for 3rd photo of our order of 2 blintzes filled with farmers cheese and blueberries as well as an order of challah French toast and the Wednesday special for only $9 consisting of a grilled cheese sandwich on challah bread and cup of soup (we chose mushroom barley but they also had borscht, vegetarian noodle and matzoh ball soup available). Everything we ate was absolutely delicious and made with love ❤️. We can’t overstate that this diner not only has incredible food which is very reasonably priced but the atmosphere is perfect as Ola and the staff take care of everyone as if you are a member of their family.

"It's not right," stated Earl R. Stonebridge when he heard a rumor about a new religious tax to be imposed on all Kosher products. "I think such a tax would be akin to profiling," he continued, speaking from his estate just south of Laguna. The TYME magazine reporter who is always hanging on to Earl's every word asked him to explain.
"Sure," Earl began, it will create a real problem in the supermarket lines. Imagine the time it would take for a clerk to examine every package of hot dogs to see if they were Kosher--outrageous!"
To date, no credible information has been discovered that proves the rumor true or false.

A random trip to Target just before Nancy moved back to Singapore. Nancy, on the left, does cook Asian food. (Quite yummy, too.) Jack, on the right, is Jewish, and he does cook food, which I happily eat, but not kosher food. We'll just ignore that fact and enjoy the photo.
Carnival food at its finest, these "jumbo" Kosher hotdogs are served with a squeeze of spicy mustard on warm, steamed buns.
Each hotdog measures 3/4" in length and is handmade entirely from polymer clay.

11/22/2004 - Monday: in Rome Roma, the Vatican, train to Florence Firenze
tags: italy
Monday Reality
Left hotel a bit late...not too bad. Tried to get on the subway but there was a line up the stairs. We were going to take a bus, but then we got a cab. 10 euros to take a cab two metro stops...I sort of think that wasn't strictly kosher...but maybe it was. it was still fun. We got to go under a tunnel that we saw yesterday during our ordeal march of being lost.
the idea was to catch the capucin crypts on the way to the vatican. But they were closed...still. so we slipped down back into the subway. We had used our single use tickets when we were turned back by the line at the Termini station, but we decided that the moral constraints were met, so we slipped through and re-used the tickets to get to the vatican. AFter all, we had gone through the gate, but we hadn't gotten on a train...
so the train left at 4:48ish, maybe 4:47...basically right on time ...
Off we rushed to the Vatican museum. We arrived at 10:00...and the english tour was at 10:30, so just enough time to get oriented and rest a bit before the ordeal by marbel floor!
We had a nice tour guide. First she showed us a sort of parchement view of the sistine chapel-two rulls of text and pictures with details of the different scenes. She would wind it down to get the next view.
This was fascinating...I am phenomenally underinformed of art and cultural matters...it is almost a cliche to say that, but egads it it true.
on the other hand, there are things we know today that were unknown 200 years ago. Amazingly...apparantly the whole forum area was under dirt until 18-something. So much dirt that only the tops of the columns were exposed. and even now much remains.
The archeologists cringe over the techniques used to clear what is now exposed. There have been several recent archeological 'campaigns' among the ruins of palatine hill that have excavated pre-roman huts. one of the write ups discussed the findings of 27 flakes of flint, indicating tool maing. So infering thngs based on bits of things found...which is the whole point of archeology.
And it made me realize that they are not done excavating Rome Roma...an odd thing to realize, since only a moment's consideration would reveal how obvious that is! There are Indian mounds that the archeologists are intentionally leaving alone for now, with the expressed plan of letting future archeologists examine them when they have better techniques.
my ears are popping...and the gps lost its lock...I then look out and realize we are going through a tunnel. ah...sense is made.
maybe...perhaps it wasn't a tunnel...I can't tell. several more episodes of pressure changes are occuring.
There are sliding head rests on the cabin walls in back of the seats. they are padded and have vertical supports so that you can lean on them to sleep without falling into the window, or onto your neighbor. they slide up and down to allow you to adjust to your preferences.
We didn't see the capucini crypt, because it was closed, and it was getting dark as we got on the train, but we are doing pretty well.
The vatican tour took two hours...and it seemed that we were moving much of the time. they have these slick radio receivors so you can hear the tour guide even if you are in the next room back.
I had a strong response to a tapestry depicting the slaughter of the chilidren by herod. One baby is being held, barely, by its mother and a soldier has a dagger to the child's heart. The baby is about to die. Other mother's are using their bodies to shield their infants. it is truly horrible.
damn! the pressure changes are really frequent, and amazingly annoying.
I downloaded a bunch of stuff from 'hex'-a friend of Jo and Schuyler's. I'm reading
how to build a reality that doesn't fall apart two days later...file:///Users/admin/wa/web/downlode.org/etext/how_to_build.html
I'm on the train...fighting sleep. I need to pee, but to do that I worry I'll have to wake the gentleman seated in front of the door to our compartment.
passing through orte...at 5:27:00---possibly even got a track point. I had a signal for a moment.
well..more than a moment, but not too long. there is crying in the hall....
The GPS showed us going 115 mph, for a bit. not just one observation. interesting. fast.
The hall of maps was cool because I realized it was, or could have been, not about art and instead was about the simple matter of managing an empire.
I enjoyed the museum, duh, and the Sistine chapel...and then we climbed the dome! I loved that! I truly loved it. We got to the top and I could see radio vatican and the quiet parts of the vatican and various 'stuff.' I don't know why, but seeing vatican radio made me happy.
We descended...heather waited while i ran about St. Peter's one more time. I went back into the catecombs...and reflected again at st. peter's grave, and the crypts of the popes. different passageway's were open from last time...you went in and out on different sides. Saturday we went through more passageways, past bits of monuments, even broken bits, supposedly the memorials for past popes there had been recovered via archeological digs and the like...little rooms, with gates, and some stones mounted on the walls.
Today I looked through a grate and down at a compartment that seemed to be set up as a small chapel. maybe a particularly holy pope was buried there.
When they embalm a pope, or remove anything from one, they send the bits to a particular church in room so the bits don't become relics.
I was struck by how clean and non-catacomb like the area was that we were allowed to tour. There were passageways that looked like they might get more 'creepy' small and twisty, but it was all clean...I guess marble does that for you.
Heather was whipped. We walked the .4 miles to cafe ruggio (is that it? The antipasto bar place by gellati millenium. it is in the Rick steve's book. We tried for it Saturday, but it was still closed, and we tried today, but closed Monday. Both faux paws (sic) could have been avoided if we had looked at the book and actually _read_ that listign first.
I have so many books and things that I don't really need...
Well Heather felt really crappy...but we ate at the little place by millenium gellati. It was great. The woman dished me up two plates. First a bowl of pasta, and then a plate with veal, mushrooms, zucchine, and peas with ham. It was in little bowls and I got to pick...heather had a panini. I was jsut positive that I was suffering eyes bigger than my head syndRome Roma, but
(and here the laptop powered down, I was writing on the train, and now it is the next day and some, 1:20 am on the 24th) I ate everything, and had a gellato after. And we went to the big 'M.' We found the M, but there was no metro...it was up another block. We metroed to the train station. Identified a train time, then grabbed our stuff at the hotel.
We spent time at the internet cafe DSC_4285.JPG, DSC_4286.JPG, DSC_4287.JPG ... They didn't support ssh! well I finally did send an email to folks via the webmail at work.
Then the train! The train was great. And we whisked into Florence Firenze. We wandered streets for a bit, then I got lock on the GPS, and knew we were .15 miles, and we wandered. I didn't remember the street name (via nazzionale, #10), but when we stumbled onto it Heather identified it. And we were a half block away.
Check in went smoothly. We fooled around, and then took to the streets. We ate at trattoria Sostanza-Troia (see p285 of Rick Steves). There were tour de france pictures on the walls, and signed photos dating back. We enjoyed it! A bottle of table wine. Tortellini with a house sauce, and then pot roast with beans. Heather had a bean salad and a salad.
Then we wandered back and bought a bottle of wine and some chocolate. Heather studied our books, and I sort of watched the Tony Gatuf movie Swing. I think it was in Italian with French subtitles. After all of that Art, and trying to read the pictures, I watched it in a different way. Paying attention to the cultural signifiers and all of that jazz. Having thoughts like 'why did he frame that shot that way? What does that use of open space say?" etc...
