With 8 different schnitzels on the menu – ranging from classic to Greek (fresh cut garlic), oriental (sesame seeds) to “American” (which is crusted with corn flakes) this is the city’s answer to Teaneck’s Chickie’s and Brooklyn’s Schnitzi’s.

Lunchbox Opens for Business
Monday, September 14th, 2009Lunchbox, located at 255 West 36th Street, Between 7th and 8th Avenue, also opened this week.

Eli’s Deli at CitiGroup to Close
Monday, September 14th, 2009Remember all those great lunches you had in the CitiGroup building atrium at Eli’s Deli? Well you will have to. We have confirmed that Eli’s Deli will be serving their last sandwiches this week and will not reopen.
It seems that the economic climate has come to affect them as well. It will be a loss to the Deli community.

Little Lad’s, Big Problem
Monday, September 14th, 2009Little Lad’s, a vegetarian joint located in the financial district, will no longer be under kosher supervision as of next week, August 24th. Neither the factory in Maine nor the restaurant will be supervised.
According to one of the supervising rabbis, the reason for dropping the supervision is because, “The commitment to supervision was too time-consuming for both rabbis.”

Edna’s Falafel Shop AKA Tahini AKA Chickpea..
Monday, September 14th, 2009Kosher-NY got a tip that they once again changed their name and have recently picked up a hashgacha again. It seems that since they last had their kosher supervision they changed their name yet again to Edna’s Falafel Shop (but the sign still says Tahini…)
Despite their identity crisis, they are located at 23 3rd Avenue, between St. Marks Place and Stuyvesant Street in the East Village. They are under the kosher supervision of the Agudas Hamashgichim – Rabbi Harry Lax of Brooklyn, NY.
Maybe they change their name every few months to keep things fresh…who knows?! Lets hope this time they stick with what they’ve got.
