    Izzy's Taqueria reviews?

    Pho-Men, Artisinal Bakehouse and Mozzarella are all a better bang for your buck IMHO. As a foodie you have to try Alenby if you haven't yet.

    I don’t think there are many options... Mozzarella quality has gone down since the last ownership change (or two?). Calabria is RIP. Maybe Koshertown cafe, though their menu is limited.

    Never been there. But of the places I've been, Kingston Kosher felafel is by far the best.
    No clue how they get enough business to stay afloat, though.
