Milk Street Cafe

[ChAiM'l]

After reading about them in the news recently, I was wondering if anyone has been there, and what it's like. Their website states that they have three separate kitchens (meat, milk, parve), and that everything leaves the kitchen sealed. How does that work with seating etc.? Is everything that you buy there prepackaged? Any experiences?

And do we eat at the one in Boston?

Henche- NO it recently lost its hecsher from the Rav of the YI as well as from the KVH.

Ate there several times. Great food, though a bit pricey. Crowd runs the gamut, from yeshivish to non-jews. The tables are granite, so that supposedly takes care of kashrus problems. You eat on the wrapper they give you, so that makes it kind of interesting, but as everyones doing it, it's fine. Wrapper also takes care of eating at same table with another eating milchig/fleishig.

How bad could business really have gotten...it didn't pick up after it all died down?

if you had read the article youd know that the barriers put up by the nypd are still there effectively reducing foot traffic

i knew that...but didn't trump work it out w/ the city?

There food wasn't that good and they're (obviously) more expensive than other stores so they weren't getting the non-Jews.

A shame. There are very few sit-down kosher eateries downtown.
