"Pizza al Volo" in NYC still in Construction

We reported several months ago that the famous but non-kosher Luzzo's in the East Village is opening their first kosher location at 261 Madison Avenue (between 38th and 39th Street, near Grand Central Terminal), called "Pizza Al Volo." The latest we heard from the owner was they are still under construction and they are shooting for a Fall opening.

Pinkberry on NYC's Upper West Side No Longer Kosher

Rabbi Aaron Mehlman announced that all Pinkberry (frozen yogurt) locations on the Upper West Side are no longer certified kosher under National Kosher Supervision. This applies to the 93rd and Broadway and 70th and Broadway locations. Rabbi Mehlman has withdrawn his hechsher due to the introduction of multiple non kosher items that include "sugarpova," a gummy candy topping, cookies, and a warmed-up apple pie. Read more here.

Brasserie Halevi in the 5 Towns Opens (with Man Cave Included)

We had the pleasure to dine at this Cedarhurst restaurant this week, including
sitting in their downstairs private dining room with 3 large screen TVs to watch

the NBA playoffs. Click here for pictures of the new place and their dishes.

Coffee Bar in the 5 Towns Finishing Renovation

Great Kosher Restaurants had the exclusive opportunity to get a sneak peek this week to the new-but-not-yet complete renovation of the restaurant.
Click here for pictures. They will be re-opening this Sunday with a light start menu for Mother's Day, but the idea is to have a casual lounge dining area with couches when you first walk in and then waiter service, fine dining in the next room.

Masago, the Asian-themed restaurant on Broadway in Woodmere has closed. Owner looking to sell. Serious buyers please reply back for details.

Carlos & Gabby's in Lakewood, NJ set to open in June

House of Dog Has Opened in Boca Raton

Click here to see photos of yesterday's family and friends opening. Thanks Zalman C. for the pictures.

Meanwhile, today is the official grand opening so check them out. And click here for a hilarious, only House-of-Dog kind of opening announcement.

Taco Flame Opens in Los Angeles

Taco Flame has opened at 5450 West Pico Boulevard (off Hauser Blvd).

YeahthatKosher.com reports that "This classic Mexican restaurant, with a menu seemingly similar to the East Coast's Carlos & Gabby's, should not be confused with the wildly popular Mexikosher in the neighborhood. Some menu items include a "flame party plate" of quesadillas, sopes, nachos, taquitos, & guacamoles; multiple flavors of burgers and burritos, fajitas, tacos, and the usual soups and salads. They even have a Kids Menu to compliment their Fun Zone with a slide and ball pit, Wii, Kinect, and air hockey!" And Mazal Tov to the new YTK baby!
