MANHATTAN
Streit's LES Factory Closing
While not a restaurant, this is pretty big news. It has come to our attention that the 90 year old Streit's Matzoh Factory in the Lower East Side will be closing. Just one more Pesach and they'll be gone with the rest of the Chametz. Don't worry though, because they are not closing their doors for good. The factory will be relocating to their New Jersey Facility. Anyone looking to buy a former matzoh factory?

A Laffa by any other name is not as Kosher

Non-Kosher locations will be called 'Famous Laffa', while Kosher locations will be called 'Famous Laffa Kosher'. The branding and color scheme will be different, as well as the menus as to not be confused with the separately owned non-kosher 'Famous Laffa'. Famous Laffa Kosher, presently the only kosher 'Laffa' establishment, is located at 401 Magnetic Drive. Dr. Laffa on the Go is also still in operation under COR at 3027 Bathurst Street.
