Whatever happened to the ancient Jewish tradition of going out for Chinese food on Christmas? :o) You might want to check out the Kosher board too for deli ideas. Even though it’s not NYC-centric, there are lots of NYC...

Thanks to you both. I forgot about Eagle. I’m not sure if they’ll have traditional Jewish rye bread, but I recall there being some good crusty breads of the sort that I like. And I’ll definitely check out the...

Can someone please explain the concept behind a Jewish “dairy restaurant”? Did a quick Internet search, but couldn’t find a really satisfying answer.
